I am here to kill your MONSTA !

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2007)

Go see this superior, spectacular cartoon at the cinema. If you're waiting for the DVD forget it - you're missing a treat. This is a beautifully judged dramatic legend, with just the right amount of character, violence, conversation and pathos. I'm not exactly sure what pathos is, but this movie has it. Don't be put off because someone tells you the CGI is not up to human-realistic standard. It doesn't matter. For what is essentially a cartoon, the acting is excellent and CGI is the only way to tell this fantasy. Despite their wooden body movement, some of these avatars act more animated, more human-like than the lead actor(s) in Harry Potter. Marvelous also to have a gruff-voiced, working-class, Norf-London hero voiced by Ray Winstone. I am here to kill your MONSTA ! And as for Angelina Jolie, she's not bad - she's just drawn bad (J Rabbit).
