The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Character Design - When I saw this movie in theaters as a young child I thought that this was supposed to be a horror movie. Rewatching this more recently, I can see why. The look of these characters is absolutely hideous.Tone - This movie isn't funny. When I rewatched it, I couldn't get any laughs except out of how stupid it is. None of the jokes are even remotely funny. This movie is extremely cringeworthy. A child watching this thing is either going to get scared or bored. Plot - I actually like this concept. Too bad its executed so badly.The voice acting, and the animation are bad. Steven Colbert seemed to be putting in an effort, but even he couldn't work with the terrible script.Product Placement - The first 3 minutes are basically a concentrated dose of product placement. Instead of just spreading it out throughout the movie in the backgrounds, they just lazily threw it all into the first few minutes. I'm not against product placement, movies need to be funded, but the way its presented in this movie is annoying and obvious. This scene doesn't even really have much to do with the rest of the movie. Its just a short scene with characters we never see again lazily introducing the plot. This whole scene could've been cut and it would've barely affected the movie.There isn't that much to say about this movie. The animation is bad, the sound design is bad, the script is bad - there's barely any enjoyment to be had here. No I do not recommend this nonsense.

*SPOILERS*I'm so, so sorry, but I think my expectations went a bit too high for this film. Reese Witherspoon, that unfunny actress that acted in Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde 2 comes and acts in Monsters VS Aliens, a movie that sounds like it will be tons of fun and will have heaps of laughs and (family) action scenes. Boy, was I wrong. Only a couple of scenes of action were in this movie. But that was not the bad part. The reason that this film is so utterly bad is because the "jokes" aren't even jokes! I think I just found out how to give people cancer, and that's to watch this movie! The film makers did an awful job with the jokes and quotes, and the storyline was terrible, plus it didn't even have enough action to entertain us through this horrible animated family comedy. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of family comedies. I also like a lot of family actions. Although this had more action then most family animated films, it had less laughs than most family animated films! Let me start off with how the movie starts.The movie starts off with a woman (Reese Witherspoon) in a relationship with a man, and she gets struck with a meteorite that turns her into a giant. Reese Witherspoon is then stuck into a top secret government facility with MONSTERS...that have terrible quote lines. Hip hip, hooray. So, meanwhile, in deep space, Gallaxhar the purple alien sends ...let's say something to find an energy source on earth. But of course, it has to land in America, doesn't it? It wouldn't be an action film then! So, the fictional president makes contact with the something, and the something goes and has a party at San Francisco. Yes, I know. Terrifying.The top secret facility lets out the monsters that tell horrible jokes out of the prison of unfunny monsters so they can destroy the something. So, they kill the something. Then an alien comes and so on...I won't tell the rest of the story, just in case you do watch it. However, I recommend you don't watch this movie unless you are going to watch it with your kids. Your kids will love it, however, you probably won't. 4.4/10!

This is an animation I've watched many times since it first came out. My daughter and I have spent quality time with this film, making it special.Where I found this animation excelled was with the voice acting, particularly that of lead character Susan, amusingly performed by Reese Witherspoon. In fact, all the main characters helped make this one of my top twenty best animations, right up there with the best of Disney and Pixar.A film you can watch over and over.Highly Recommended!9/10

I saw this on its opening weekend and still get a kick of it when it comes on pay TV.3D seems to work less often than you'd think. But I think this one uses it really well. The fight on the Golden gate is pretty sweet, at least in the theater it was.the actors that were given the parts for their animated characters were chosen well. Seth Rogen in particular.With all the movies that get sequels, i'm mighty surprised this one didn't. seemed to please adults and kids.Recommended for sure.
