Robert A. gave it a0:
This movie was really awful. We have movie night every Saturday for the whole family and this doesn't make the grade. We watched about 1/2 of the movie and shut it off based on everyone's vote. Thumbs down.
Davtom gave it a1:
Voices and Music poorly cast and chosen. Found the actors to not hit the right feelings to properly portray the given character. The music in many scenes was distracting and again didn't fit the scene as a whole. At times had to fast forward because I found it so awful.
Hyper S. gave it a6:
Igor was an interesting character, but the supporting cast I found annoying and heroic trio was a cliche cast of characters both in attitude and behavior. "Brain" was annoyingly stupid and a poorly designed character to make him likeable. That rat rabbit got on my nerves with his comments and voice over. (good actor, but maybe not suited for animation voice overs). And the leading lady... the monster was obnoxious as well on the order of an American Idol reject. Sorry, too many good animated films out there for this Tim Burton knock-off to deserve a 7 or higher.
Jay H. gave it a6:
Entertaining, amusing and creative, great score, fine script and enjoyable animation. Good voice overs. Curiously though it's not very memorable.
Dave T. gave it a7:
Maybe a little too clever for the kids, but the girlfriend and I really enjoyed both the corny story and the in jokes. The Burton-esque setting was superb.
Mona gave it an8:
This was a wonderful family film. It is humorous not only for little kids but adults as well. The movie has an interesting and unique plot that develops its character's well. I would recommend this to people who generally like animated movies and are looking for a good family fun film.
Bryce L. gave it an8:
Original, cut out the cliches, and was certainly clever, but the comedy was "not laughing through the whole movie funny".
