Good concept, poorly executed.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Blistering performances.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
This film actually surprised me with how good it was and made me laugh which was a great thing. I liked that it showed the bad guy throughout the movie and his plans as well as showing the boys and how he goes from a normal boy to a monster and then saving the day. Great family film and one I will definitely watch again.
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.
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!
Monster Island is a great film because of its animation and unique story line. I love how the monsters are animated. I also adore the story line. It's something I've never seen before. Monster Island is about a boy named Lucas who's a monster, but doesn't know it since his dad hid it from him his whole life. His dad has given him a potion to stop him from turning into a monster by hiding it as an inhaler. When Lucas forgets his inhaler at home to go the biggest party of the year, he turns into a monster which scares everyone. Luckily, his dad comes to the rescue with his inhaler which turns him back into a human. His dad explains what's happening and where he got his powers from. Turns out, they're from an island called Calvera. Lucas goes on an adventure to find this island. But will he find it? Watch it to find out!The animation reminds me of Frankenweenie and Coraline which are some of my favorite Halloween movies. Unlike Frankenweenie and Coraline, Monster Island is all computer animation. However, it looks like claymation. I'm fascinated by the attention to detail. Every monster is unique. There are squid monsters and humongous monsters who tower over people. I love the characters in this movie. Two of my favorites are the two police officers. I love their banter as they try to catch Lucas, but always fail. I love how the pumpkin monster is the "brains" of their team while the deer head monster is the tough dumb one. They had me cracking up the whole time. The message of this movie is to accept yourself. Lucas' uncle tries to become a monster since he never became a monster. He felt left out because all of his family are monsters, but he isn't. Although his family loves him either way, he still tries to find a way to become a monster through science. I rate this film 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to ages 6 to 10. You can find this incredible movie online now so, go check it out. Available on YouTube, Google Play, Budi and more.
