Pluskylang Great Film overall

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

DCfan I saw this movie when I was travelling to New York on a plane and I really enjoyed the movie. This movie was absolutely fun especially with when the alien was fixing the chase scene. The acting was good. This film is definitely no Dragon Ball evolution. The CGI was very awesome and the story was cleaver. Overall very fun.

Nenko Genov Not just every movie gets me so excited and pumped up as to just rush to IMDb and write it a positive review, but Monster Trucks sure is one of those rare cases! Seeing the trailer and knowing that this is a NIckelodeon movie I expected a good, fun, family friendly flick with a likable creature, but my expectations were quite surpassed. The movie really is all of the above-mentioned, but it just shines with a lot of positivism and heart. The creature-truck concept is really original, while the story is your classical coming-of-age, boy-against-world, boy-meets-girl, boy-comes-to-terms-with-step-dad- who-in-the-end-turns-out-to-be-a-decent-nice-guy, and of course, most of all, boy-and-unusual-out-of-this-world-friend kind of story. Some may call these themes repetitive, I call them eternal and engaging when done in the right way, and the cast and the director all do a lovely job to bring out the emotional charge in this one. Not to mention that Creech is extremely lovable from his very first appearance in the film, the effects are believable and quite well done, and the CGI is never overused as to overwhelm the scene. There is plenty of spectacle, plenty of action and some really fun (even if kinda guilty pleasure) scenes of destruction and smashing stuff. The humor is there too, and it never crosses any boundaries, no crude jokes or anything to really worry about. I would totally watch this film again, but this time with my two little daughters. This movie is like TREMORS meets FREE WILLY! It made me feel like a 10- year-old again and I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you're into stories about unusual friendships such as "The Iron Giant", "E.T.", "Lilo and Stitch", "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep", etc. Two thumbs and four giant wheels up for MONSTER TRUCKS!

cameragod So I saw Monster Trucks... (reasons OK) and its actually quite a technically well made kids movie that steals shamelessly from other better kids movies. The casting is weird and at times its taking itself a bit too seriously, but what gets me is the unnecessary plot holes joining the stolen bits together. Plot holes that you see coming a mile down the road, easily avoided, but they just drive on in. I get that its "just a kids movie" but if they put a fraction of the effort they went to with the FX into the script... it would still be a kids movie I guess... just more of a How to Train You Dragon movie as apposed to a Transformers movie.

draftdubya I was a pain to watch the main male flat out ignore the pretty main female that was lusting for him. The main guy lust for a douche bag rival's girlfriend(who choose douche in the first place). The teen angst against the crappy(was he really crappy) stepfather, when the dad was really the arsehole. The main guy looks like Sam(from Supernatural).My biggest gripe was, why didn't the oil company just turn what they found into a giant Jurassic park sort of thing. they would've raked in billions a year.
