Pretty awful

Rating: 3/10 (16 March 2010)

My wife and I watched the movie on HBO at home tonight (not in 3D), and we were really disappointed. We both tend to enjoy animated films, but "Aliens Vs. Monsters" did nothing but let us down. The commercials played it up, and we actually wanted to see it, however the commercial was just about all the good there was.
First off, it was terribly written. The characters were entirely one-dimensional. There was hardly any growth by anyone except the main girl, and that growth couldn't have been more annoying. The plot was cliché and terribly predictable.
Now, I realize that it's a fantasy/sci-fi type movie, and there are going to be unrealistic elements, but you have to give the audience something to work with. I can suspend my disbelief for a goo monster that can talk, but I can't suspend my disbelief for atypical human behavior. The characters were not real at all, and not just in the sense that some of them were monsters. They didn't have real emotions, and everything felt like it was forced in there awkwardly just to advance the plot. Parts of it felt like they were literally just spliced together at the end.
Overall, it was one of the worst movies I've ever sat through, and I don't recommend it to anyone. It does not deserve the rating it has, and honestly I'm shocked that it ever reached a 6.
I give it a 3/10 because there were a couple amusing comments from B.O.B., and it still wasn't the absolute worst thing ever made.
Edit (Dec 29, 2011): I originally posted this comment in March 2010, and my feelings toward the movie have remained the same. Since then, my wife and I compare all bad movies to this movie, for example "It was kinda rough there in the middle, but it was no Monsters Vs. Aliens". This is still the worst film I've ever sat all the way through.
