Monsters Vs. Aliens

I went to see Monsters versus Aliens with my family. Now the excuse is out of the way, I can get on with my thoughts on it!

Monsters versus Aliens is about being inclusive with those who are different from you (ie. Monsters) in standing up against those who are different from you (ie. aliens). I enjoyed the 3D effects and the characters, particularly Bob, who is some sort of indestructible blue blob made from a genetically modified tomato. The best bit about Bob was how funny my step-brother thought he was. (Although he’s thirteen, so it’s not cute any more.)

A couple of disappointments. Firstly, the villain was the biggest pansy ever! Having successfully cloned an entire army of himself, he was then shown to be stupid and weak in large quantities. Although some of the scenes with him were funny and had great effects, others looked a little rushed. I felt throughout the film like there were two groups of people making the film. The good scenes did not quite manage to make up for the bad ones.
