Monsters vs Aliens (2009)

Good concept, poorly executed.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This may not be an all-time animated classic like Bambi or Secret of Nymh, but it's good for passing the time for an hour and a half, which is all I'm sure it was setting out to do. The lead, voiced by Reese Witherspoon, is sympathetic enough to keep us invested in the story.The supporting cast is great and what really makes this movie entertaining. There's Seth Rogen as a living blob of mush, Hugh Laurie as a mad scientist turned giant bug, and even Kiefer Sutherland as a General.Plenty of laughs, especially thanks to Stephen Colbert as the President of the United States. Recommend it if you want something to watch with the family.

I enjoyed viewing this motion picture on DVD. My most loved some piece of this film, is the meteor slamming down on earth on Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) that she become taller like a monster, while she is getting hitched to Derrick and all of a sudden she begins to end up in a top-mystery jail office headed by General W.r. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) and she is encompassed by Monsters B.o.b. (Seth Rugen), Dr. Cockroach (Hugh Laurie) Missing Link (Will Arnet)and a titan furby animal which was taller than her. She additionally ends up who made her monstrous being made by an outsider reprobate named Gallaxhar She and the creatures must stand up to him for assumed control earth.

Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is a woman who got upsized by a meteorite on her wedding day. B.O.B. (Seth Rogen) is a gelatinous, brainless creation after an experiment on a tomato went wrong. Dr. Cockroach (Hugh Laurie) is a scientist who turned himself into a hybrid. The Missing Link (Will Arnett) is a creature found frozen and revived. And giant mutant larva Insectosaurus is a product of nuclear testing. The government has secretly collected these monster and now they need them to fight alien Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson).DreamWorks has gathered all the iconic 50s sci-fi B-movie creations, and formed a pretty cohesive team. It's surprising that the limited backstory allowed the characters to gel so well right off the bat. It's probably due the fact that these characters seem so familiar to us. It also helps that the actors do some great voice work.The story itself has one major problem. The movie is basically split in two parts. The pacing slows down dramatically in the middle after a high intensity fight at the start. However the comedy works well especially the brainless BOB. I think this team has good potential.

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.
