I wanted it to be great. It was only good.

Rating: 3/10 (8 April 2016)

With Monsters Inc being the hit it was it was only natural that we'd want to see more of lovable duo, Mike and Sulley. The big problem that Pixar had for years was finding out how to do that, especially as the 1st film ended so perfectly.
The solution to the problem ended up being to make this film, a prequel to the original.
And it's OK. There are lots of jokes about Uni life and not judging people that are good. When Pixar are good they're practically unbeatable.
I found it an entertaining enough film, up until the final 3rd. Then it seemed a bit forced, as the creative team tried to add peril to characters we knew had to be OK anyway.
It's a decent film, but I'm happy to watch Monsters Inc instead.
