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.

    Technician Ben: Wow, it's energy signature is massive.

    Technician Jerry: [panicking] Holy Cheez-its! What do we do? No one ever told us what to do! The only reason I took the job is 'cause you never have to do anything!
