The characters are bigger than the plot

The plot is too dry. Yes, before watching the film, I was expecting a really imaginative brawl, but it turned out to be nothing more than a mediocre tribute to the old movie. And there is a little feeling of being recruited by the Water Margin to defend against foreign enemies.

Making fun of the president is the biggest and only highlight of the film. This kind of extremely exaggerated president is very distinctive. On the contrary, those monsters and aliens feel a little tired of aesthetics. Similar things have appeared in countless previous films. Therefore, the setting of this monster , is a comparative failure. The joke of the thumb itself seems to be added by a temporary head shot, so it is only after the heroine's wedding dress becomes larger that it is necessary to work hard, but it is completely ignored. Not to mention the plot, it is purely for the sake of the title, and the central point that I want to express is so ambiguous that it makes no sense at all. It is very important to grasp oneself, but oneself is also oneself in society, and the screenwriter should take a good look at it. Mazhe.

The dubbing can only be said to be passable. If DreamWorks continues to do this, it will be trampled by Disney Pixar sooner or later.

Monsters vs. Aliens quotes

  • Derek Dietl: Wow, you really are big.

    Susan Murphy: Yeah, but I'm still me. I'm still the same girl you fell in love with.

    Derek Dietl: Except you did just destroy the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Susan Murphy: Well, but that was the only way I was gonna stop that giant robot. Did you ever think I could do something like that?

    Derek Dietl: No, I didn't. I can honestly say that it never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever occurred to me.

  • Susan Murphy: Look, I-I know this is a little weird. Okay - it's a lot weird. But we'll figure it out. I know that together, we can find a way to get me back to normal.

    Derek Dietl: Susan, try and look at this from my perspective. I have an audience that depends on me for news, weather, sports and heart-warming fluff pieces. So you expect me to put all that on hold while you try to undo this thing that happened to you, that I had absolutely nothing to do with?

    Susan Murphy: Yes. That's exactly what I expect. What-what about the life that we always talked about? Don't you still want that?

    Derek Dietl: Of course. I just... don't see how I can have that with you.

    Susan Murphy: [on the verge of tears] Derek, please. Don't do this.

    Derek Dietl: Oh, y-you have to faced facts, Susan. And don't crush me for saying this, but I'm not looking to get married and spend the rest of my life in someone else's shadow. And you're casting a pretty big shadow. I'm sorry. It's over. Good luck, Susan.
