A 2-D Review

Rating: 7/10 (18 April 2009)

So, I saw Monsters Vs. Aliens not too long ago, and I can sat that I would've loved this movie more if I saw it in 3-D. It's not as if 3-D makes the movie, it just makes it better. However, since I saw it without 3-D, I was able to realize any cheesy and obvious pop-out effects, and there were only two effects like that. Seeing it in 2-D was fine though. This movie involves aliens invading Earth, and the government calls on a group of monsters to take care of them...I guess. Well, the plot doesn't really matter. I throughly enjoyed this movie, but little things annoyed me. First of all, there were a bit too many obvious references being jammed down your throat. Also, some jokes are bland and just...fail. However, some jokes are really cleaver and funny, and I think that kids will enjoy the...pretty colors and the adults will appreciate the humor. However, If you ARE an adult without children wanting to see this movie, do yourself a favor and wait until it's on DVD, unless it's in 3-D in your theater.
One final thought, this movie is comparable to Kung-Fu Panda, but in my opinion, Kung-Fu Panda is much better.
