Very funny, using its 50s b-movie roots to its advantage. The characters are good, the comedy is funny, and the animation is crisp.

This Easter digimation romp is big on action and slapstick, small on charm, tiny on wit and endurability; unless you are nine, when anything goes.

As I took off my gray-lensed 3-D spectacles at the end of Monsters vs. Aliens, I felt not so much immersed as fuzzy with exhaustion.

I don't think there are any characters here that a child would love.

In terms of generating pure, Monstrous laughs this is the year's funniest comedy so far - animated OR live action.

True, the story doesn't amount to much, but the plot tends to take a back seat when you've got a not-quite-50-foot version of Reese Witherspoon duking it out with a mighty alien robot alongside the Golden Gate Bridge.
