Monster House: A Review

Yes, I have seen it. Also, slight spoiler warning.

Lets start in my area. The animation was motion capture and looked mostly like motion capture. I still believe that it works in many cases, but somtimes it just look horrible. Same with this movie. There was a basketball that especially bad. I mean, really bad.

Characters were ok. There were one or two moments where the humor was just so brilliant because it felt exactely right for the character saying it. I also liked the girl alot. “Are you guys mentally challenged? If you are I’m certified to teach you baseball” is just funny. The pair of policemen were also quite funny. Most of the time though, the characters were just adaquate.

Story was also desent. The later part is not to strong, story wise, but the twist is mildly surprising.

The star of the show was the House though. It is really well thought out and animated. I really like the way it comes alive and stuff in the end. Good stuff. Inside of it was not as good as the outside though.

All in all, I was enjoing myself enough to want to watch it again, given the opportunity. There are some funny scenes and some scary ones for younger audiences.
And I was among the first couple of hundred people in the world to see it. That kinda neat.

Wow I almost sounded all professional and stuff.

I will refrain from giving a score. Not because I am afraid of having an oppinion, but because I am afraid someone will hold it against me later on.
I have seen to many american police shows.
