quality vs quantity

Rating: 1/10 (7 April 2009)

and there I was, watching Monsters vs Aliens. it must be easy to make an animated movie. how stupid can someone be? I can see the company sitting on their desks already, thinking what else they could make a movie of. then suddenly, some of the 'artists' jumps up and says 'I have a great idea! let's make a movie about monsters and aliens and let them fight each other!' probably it has been like that. in a time like this, where animated features are being made like dozens in a year, it's a competition to make the best picture. oh wait... did I say 'best' picture? guess again. it's not about quality anymore, it's about quantity. if the movie could make money the most, it's considered a 'good' movie. and you know what? this junk movie actually does make movie a lot! it's easy, it's like a formula: make something kids could enjoy and you will have millions, or perhaps even... billions??? (anoying Dr Evil laugh) I was very happy to go see this, but when I did, I was praying for some beep that would come up, so I would have a reason to go to the lavatory. I hoped I could puke a bit, my own beep would be more interesting to look at than this movie (which is not flawless).
so why did I stay? good question. well, I was there with somebody who actually did like the movie, so I couldn't just get away.
if you want quality, don't see this monstrous piece of 'art'. it's too bad I can't give this movie less than 1, so I'll have to give it 1 point, which it does not deserve at all.
