Not the greatest film ever made, people

Rating: 6/10 (7 November 2004)

People, seriously, this film was far from incredible, and at best average, yet it's being rated higher than classics like Pulp Fiction and Dr. Strangelove. While it was very well animated and had many quick hitting jokes, the story was so contrived that it was like watching The Fantastic Four with the powers switched around. The whole "we have to conceal our powers from the world, and only use them when we have no other option" was so very X-Men. And the message as I understood it seemed callous. If everyone has powers it's the same as no one having powers. So not everyone is special in their own way? Harsh. Isn't that what we've been trying to teach our kids all this time? Tolerance of people different than ourselves? I'll take Monsters Inc. over this film any day.
