Okay, Monsters VS Aliens, the latest kid friendly, CG animated, potential franchise felt rather inspired, and appealing on many levels beyond just kiddy fair, ya know?
The perfect strap in, take a ride to new places kind of movie going thing I seek and devour.
But the couple reviews, or what I'd seen, were kind of not that good, just pretty good.
I'm happy to say, I saw it, and loved every damn minute!!!
That, was a good movie.

Holy S Batman!?!?!
From the 3D, best I've seen yet...
Beowulf - kind of odd
My Bloody Valentine - the 3D was just okay
but full on animated CG (I didn't see Bolt in theaters), DAMN!!!!!
Now that is good times!

Anyway, the 3D was great, very immersive, and just really worked.
Then you had the animation, stylish and quality enough to work very well.
The characters, all around, just fabulous. From voice acting, to design, very engaging... especially Susan (the 50 foot woman) and Bob (the Seth Rogan blob). A couple could've used some more life, but a really deep inspired cast, in all aspects.

Then the story, all out fun, all the time.
The only thing MVA lacks is the bonus round levels of heart of Incredibles and Wall-e, but I think, MVA is only inferior to Incredibles... I enjoyed it much more than Wall-e. Again, Wall-e packed a stonger emotional punch, but it's plot, ripped from Mike Judge's Idiocracy was far inferior.

MVA is just movie making at it's best, nonstop fun, inspired action, eye-popping visuals, great cast/characters, and genre bending next level shit.
And, it's damn funny!

I can't recommend it enough.
It is what everyone thought Kung-Fu Panda was.
Sure Panda looked great, and had lots of fun, but nothing about it felt as enjoyable as this to me.
Panda was just too predictable.
And sure MVA is too, it's MIB meets Incredibles, or Independance Day meets Hellboy etc... but it's got quirk and creativity in spades when it came to the storytelling. It was just too engaging to be weighed down by any of that.

I loved it.

See it in 3D, and I dare you not to enjoy it.

(and be sure and stay a couple minutes into the credits, for more President Colbert... then, you're safe to leave) :D

Go see it!!!

It didn't captivate me as The Incredibles or Wall-E did.
Fun movie for the kids, my 6yr old son was slightly interested .... but can't wait for the Terra movie this May =)

great flick, it really was aimed at monster fans and their kids.
Flipping through the art book show that there was an even more awesome version of the movie left in the drawing room.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable sequels too.

Yeah, I'm sure there's more that could have been done with it... I can only imagine how much tinkering goes into these mass market family friendly franchises...
It would be cool to see though, I'll have to check out the book.

KFP = acronym for the aforementioned Kung as in K, Fu as in F, P as in Panda! ;)

What's a Mutant Chronicles?

Death race if fun, good dumb fun!

Yeah, I saw you mention something... oh it was a survey, about offering CC via Lulu
So, the comics, or the bookey thing you were talkin about?

oh of course lol i should have seen that coming KFP :P

mutant chonricles was this sci-fi flick that came out and was gone reallllllly fast... it's got thingy who plays Hellboy and this hot asian lass and some other wellknowns.... the worlds being invaded by mutant aliens or something, i dont know because i refuse to spend my barely existant pennies on it despite how much i wanted to watch it since the trailors lol

the thing about dumb is, most of these highbrow comics and movies that think their intelligent are even dumber.... heroes for example, it's only surpriseing and new if you lack an imagination, only Hiro and Yando remain funny.

yeah and it's been on DVD for ages, a film
