What I loved most: The blob was funny , not much else
What I really hated: Very uncreative storyline
The show made me cringe coz i hardly laughed at the rather feeble attempts at humour. Somewhere along the story it grew tiresome to watch. Hardly in the class of Finding Nemo or Monsters Inc.

What I loved most: Technical wizardry
What I really hated: Lack of plot and dircetion
The latest Dreamworks offering is simply put, lacking. Compared to keen competitor Pixar, the characters in this animation have less personality and depth. The film is barren of plot and heart, although it is clever enough to infuse subversive humour through making reference to classic B-grade monster flicks. The characters themselves are iconic figures from B-grade flicks, directly lifted from 'Adventures of the 50 feet Woman' and 'Dr. Strangelove'. The wisecracks and slapsticks may amuse and appeal to kids but adults will probably find them tasteless and bland, resulting in a barely tolerable mirthless comedy for anyone older than the age of 12. The generic moral core on staying true to oneself by accepting and embracing one's unique qualities, no matter how aberrant they are, is honest but far from heartfelt and affecting. A word of caution to parents: This is strictly for the kids.

What I loved most: Ginormica
What I really hated: nothing
When a meteorite from outer space hits a young Californian girl named Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) and turns her into a giant monster, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a ragtag group of monsters, also rounded up over the years. As a last resort, under the guidance of General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland), the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to combat the aliens and save the world from destruction!

Dreamwork's Best Visual Delight

Talking about visual delight, wow wow wow. The visual is without doubt Dreamworks' best. Added with its 3-D special features and its typical oh-so-funny Dreamworks' jokes, this movie is absolutely a movie that can be enjoyed by both adults and children. I must say the plot development might not be as good as say... Kung Fu Panda, but the visual is just breath taking. It's even arguably better than WALL-E's visual. Go watch this in 3-D. Truly amazing in that format.
