Monsters vs Aliens is skilfully animated and spasmodically funny, but you get the impression the film's seven (!) writers ran out of ideas two-thirds of the way through. April 3, 2009 | Rating: 3/6 | Full Review…

Engagingly nerdy movie in-jokes are clearly a step in the right direction for DreamWorks after the rather crass and bombastic approach of the Shrek movies. April 3, 2009 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's all very good value, although I have a vague feeling that a gallery of freaky sci-fi creatures, as in Monsters Inc, may not engage the young audience's sympathies as much as humanoids. Great fun, anyway. April 3, 2009 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

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] March 23, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

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. January 2, 2018 | Full Review…

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. August 17, 2017 | Rating: B- | Full Review…
