Monsters vs. Aliens

Even after ten years, I still find this animated film entertaining. Sure, the story isn’t as sophisticated as Toy Story, but it's much more action-packed (and not in the usual dumb way), it contains a lot of great one-liners (especially by Link and B.O.B.), only the main villain seemed rather weak. Fortunately, the president and the doctor's crazy laugh were excellent. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! (10/11/2020)

In terms of entertainment and jokes, I think it’s unexpectedly weak. I can’t complain about the animation or the story, which again brings something new and surprisingly tries to push the envelope quite a lot. Unfortunately, though, I don’t remember anything particularly interesting or amusing during the film, or a character that I grew to love, which I perceive as a big flaw in these animated films. A level below Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. (09/06/2012)

I don't know, it wasn't all that great. I was probably expecting this cartoon to be more "adult", with more sci-fi references and stuff, which I shouldn't have done. Instead, I got a nicely made fairy tale with (another in a series... God, slow down already!) moral lessons that went by quickly, but most of it didn't really stick in my head. The most sympathetic character from the team of "good guys" is definitely the (semi)crazy Dr. Cockroach, but the aliens are the ones that entertained me the most in Monsters vs. Aliens. Especially their leader - a wonderfully slimy, evil bastard. A perfect film for children, whilst adults only need to see it once. Too bad I’m not a kid anymore - everything would be so pretty, colorful, cute, and in 3D to boot! (26/06/2010)

A fun cartoon, full of references to old sci-fi movies of the 1950s. The story is a mixture of various crackpot ideas (typical examples of this are the heroic president and his keyboard, red buttons and the wonderful B.O.B.) and how a daydreaming girl becomes a woman. The invasion of aliens is really just a catalyst for the events that follow. What annoys me is that in the movie theatre I was robbed of the original voices (Bauer and House M.D. in a movie together!) and even though the Czech dubbing was pretty well-done, I look forward to watching it on DVD in English. E.T. GO HOME! (04/08/2009)

A pleasant, animated blockbuster that parodies a large group of American sci-fi and horror film productions. It is not as strong in terms of plot as it is with a series of catchphrases, a likable team of heroes, and a villainous antagonist. Overall impression: 70%. One of those movies that will please children and not offend adults. (16/12/2009)
