A fun college movie. Just don't put it up to Pixar standards.

Rating: 7/10 (22 July 2014)

Okay, so Mike Wazowski was my favorite 3-d animated character as a child, so I was pumped to hear that this film was all about him! Do I think they succeed? Yes, but please don't compare this to Pixar's other works! That is just setting the bar way to high! Mike was interesting in this movie. It's odd because he's getting in trouble in this movie, but in Monsters Inc. he was constantly trying to get Sulley OUT of trouble by sticking to the rules. I guess he matured or something? Anyways, I'm reviewing this movie as a college flick, because that's what this is. And boy is it a fun one at that! I wish they could have put more character into Randall, but that doesn't matter to me that much since there are plenty of fun new characters to get to know. My favorites are Terri and Terry, the two monsters stuck together but that's just my personal taste since I'm a twin :) The humor was parodying college life which I thought was a great choice. Dean Hardscrabble being the extremely strict teacher gets some great moments. There is also an incredibly awesome third act to go with the film. That is the part most people walk away remembering. The third act, in my opinion, stands with some of PIxar's finest. Hopefully both kids and adults will have fun in this college adventure.
