An absolute waste of money

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Not much I can say except I don't see why people keep saying its a great movie, the plots boring, the voice acting's pretty bad, and the designs of the characters are confusing and nauseous. I will give it one up side and say that the animating is alright but other than that this movie has a lot that is just not going for it. The buildings in the city are too cartoony for a movie with this style, there main character is somewhat dull. Now all that being said the movie's idea is good, its a near classic but the way it was shown was not done well. And one more thing, the main character seems to be too heavily protected by plot, he seems to have a solution to each problem and doesn't seem to have a struggle.

It's traditional in most movies to have what's called a colour palette, a finite range of colours which sets a mood and makes it easier on the eye, this movie eschews this tradition. Its standard of computer graphics reminds me of old Playstation FMV scenes that played out inbetween the game play, the look mainly reminds me of Spyro.The animation itself isn't that bad, but it has that unsubtle mime-like kind of motion where everyone ducks, shrugs and gesticulates on every syllable. The camera floats from point to point in every scene. The voice acting often has that sound LIKE someONE reading FROM a SCRIPT with no IDEA about conTEXT or APPropriATE emphaSIS for THIS bit, but they can do a funny voice or three, or four, or five.The story itself is a reasonably well paced paint by numbers male tweenager pleasing tale of going on a journey of self discovery, a 'child becomes a man' type fantasy adventure, with pretty standard stuff about defeating evil and the school bullies and showing the world it can't be the boss of you, with the monster angle being used as an unsubtle analogy for adolescence, and of course by the end the now obligatory single parent learns to trust more and promises to try harder, everybody hugs, hearts are warmed.End with an upbeat pop song and a wink to camera, roll credits.It's all perfectly watchable, it just isn't trying very hard.Kids will love it.

When I started watching this movie I had no idea what to expect, by the title I thought it was just going to be another monster movie... but I was wrong. The story is really captivating and I bet a lot of teenagers may easily identify with the main characters. A lot of metaphors have been used in the story to talk about being different and how to accept yourself the way you are. I found it very honest in the portrait of each single character who is presented as they are with both their virtues and vices. This is definitely a film which you can enjoy with the entire family because, apart from making you laugh, it will teach you a lesson or two about the consequences of feeling excluded by the rest of society. Great job!

well i liked watching it even if you don't see much of him turning into a monster until near to the end but from what i read from other reviewer pages they don't care for it much.so though i would love to see a number 2 of the movie doubt there will be one as i would love to see more of him as a monster and how he gets on.and its not as bad as those review sites make it out to be so i would watch again.
