Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
cricketbat Sure, it's not as "cool" as I remember it being when I watched it two decades ago, but Monster Squad is still entertaining. This is a good watered-down horror film for younger audiences. Plus, it has surprisingly good costumes and special effects.
reddragonhero17 I grew up watching Universal Studios Monsters as a kid and this movie blends the best together along with some small hints of Ghostbusters and the Goonies in one convenient package. What makes it so much fun to watch is the kid wonder of adventure in one moment and the ability to fulfill one's dream of battling fearsome monsters, plus the interactions the kids have with one another. My favorite of the group is Sean as I was a lot like that when I was younger, followed by Rudy since he's so cool, even dispatching 2 monsters, and finally Horace who overcomes his fear to even dispatch a monster of his own as well. I even like how Frankenstein sides with the kids and befriends Sean's sister Phoebe, not unlike how Chunk befriended Sloth in the Goonies. The final battle is nothing short of spectacular with many kids getting their chance to shine and a small but good leader vs leader showdown. Some aspects, might seem dated, but the charm certainly hasn't aged a bit.
padawanmovies I found myself wanting to watch something Halloween"esque" a few days ago and I stumbled upon this. I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. It was a horror comedy where they horror was just scary enough and the comedy was really funny. All of the actors did a really good job and this is a flick I will most definitely add to my home collection!!!
borimor Not doubt, that this a movie have the tag "cult movie" all over is forehead; the strange plot, the wink to classic horror characters/movies & the box-office failure. For me, it's bad cult movie, just like many films before. The movie is one big mess, for example, it's hard to understand the motives and the actions of the heroes - The Monster Squad - many time it's not make sense. The same villain can be very weak and very strong at the same time, and like the heroes, you didn't understand their decision making. Also it's a child movie or adult movie? I never seen such a confusing movie, there's violence, sexual comments and bad language, but the plot and the characters are childish. Some people will enjoy the movie, and the producer choose few good decision, for instance, shorten the movie to less than 90 min. I think, the movie have a potential for sequel, with new cast. In conclusion, it's not the The Goonies.4/10
