"I think that Jello gave me a fake phone number"; Monsters vs. Aliens: 8.5/10

Rating: Null/10 (7 April 2009)

I think Roger Ebert said just about right: "Monsters vs. Aliens is possibly the most commercial title of the year. How can you resist such a premise, especially if it's in 3-D animation?". Well in Roger Ebert's case "very readily" but in my case even with the fact that the trailer never ended to convince me that this movie was one of those that I must see on the big screen I could not resist to go and pay for the 3-D version of the movie. Hell I'm glad I came, I wanted to see this movie however for what I thought of it after seeing the previews I must say I found in Monsters vs. Aliens a real pleasant surprise.
I don't like to see dubbed movies, certainly only if the movie is in English or, obviously, in Spanish I don't read the subtitles (yes even that I don't write that well in English I do understand the I think 95% of a movie if I don't pay attention to the Spanish subtitles), certainly in Mexico, like I think in any other country, movies for kids are in its dubbed version in most if not all of the theaters. So yes I saw this movie in its dubbed version, thing that I really dislike especially if the people doing the voices are a******* like in this case but anyway I will see someday again Monsters vs. Aliens since I liked it a lot and I will see it in its original language to hear Seth Rogen, Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and company.
Monsters vs. Aliens ends as you expected since always and ends leaving plenty of room if not too much room for a sequel, basically is just the beginning of the team of monsters that will defend the Earth of whatever comes to the writers' minds for the possible sequel or sequels. I didn't care that much about the plot, I won't mention it in this little comment; certainly the premise was just "monsters vs. aliens" for well whatever reason and yes all the monsters are really appealing characters. I like how it begins since is like meteor alert, normal day at a wedding and we have our 50-foot woman. There's the typical message, certainly the monsters will be seen as heroes but anyway B.O.B. (voice of, stoner, Seth Rogen) teals the monsters' show, this one is a terrific good-looking movie. Now I can't wait to see the new Pixar production Up!
