Monsters vs. Aliens was a really fun homage to 1950s sci-fi monster movies with an excellent voice cast and one of the better scripts in the studio’s history.

Whereas animation should have limitless potential, particularly with a concept like the one in Monsters vs. Aliens, this film squanders its prospects on mundane storytelling

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 2, 2023

Wonderfully inventive characters and highly polished visuals.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 29, 2020

Reese Witherspoon and Seth Rogen bring life and fun to their respective roles.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 17, 2020

This is the kind of film that children and adults can enjoy together without being pandered to.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 6, 2019

A visual delight, full of memorable characters that will appease both young and old.

| Original Score: B | May 16, 2019

Monsters vs. Aliens is raucous and undemanding "flat" entertainment, no doubt.

Although the voices were well-chosen, the action scenes set on Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco have, without doubt, their particular charm... the movie in general leaves a lot to be desired. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 23, 2018

Monsters vs. Aliens may not be a masterpiece, but it comes darn close to being one. And by the time I finish this review, I may talk myself into declaring it one.

| Jan 2, 2018

There's good fun to be had at Monsters vs. Aliens, and it carries a worthwhile message about how everyone is a person of worth, no matter how tall, furry, bug-eyed or tentacled.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 17, 2017

Only those who desire a paddleball to the kisser or a face full of Mothra snot need apply.

| Original Score: 2/6 | Nov 17, 2011

A typically slick effort from DreamWorks Animation...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 8, 2011

| Original Score: B+ | May 6, 2011

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 4, 2011

As a child who loathed the wholesomeness of Disney and wholeheartedly embraced the madcap antics of Bugs Bunny, Wile E. Coyote and Daffy Duck this film was perfect for me.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 13, 2011

A Mad Magazine style action adventure film...

The film has some serious problems, the first being - and yes, I feel ridiculous for even attributing this complaint to a film with the above title - a completely pat narrative that seriously lacks character development

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 27, 2010

Me quedé con hambre de más y es que siento que Dreamworks, fuera del verde Shrek, no ha encontrado la fórmula para darle verdadera batalla a Disney Pixar.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 11, 2010

Inked more by its influences than originality, "Monsters" gets exhaustive with its rapid-fire references. That said, if this works as a shiny primer to one day introduce children to classic sci-fi, satire, fantasy and anime, well, more power to it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 3, 2009

Not as wonderful as Kung Fu Panda, Monsters vs. Aliens is the next best thing that DreamWorks Animation has produced.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Nov 10, 2009
