A Masterpiece!
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Moshi Monsters is an interactive online game for young children, conceived by a British company called Mind Candy. With 80 million registered players all over the world, adopting and nurturing virtual pet monsters My Kids loved this film... especially now its on Netflix. Great characters and they love the whole crazy world of Moshi. Suited to younger kids well worth them watching and the music is great as well, the kids have the Moshi Music CD as well. All the characters from the game. My favorite is Dr Stangeglove and the voice acting on him is really great. I liked the opening credits, 'Also starring Mr Snoodle'. The animation is vibrantly colorful and fun,
Right. For starters - the animation's INTENTIONALLY the way it is. Colourful, and FUN! It's not pretending to be Pixar or anything else, it's just a swirling, ego-boosting, uplifting, bubbling Saturday Matinée champagne fun movie. The songs are great and work as an integral part of the movie - it would have been nothing without them. Someone here said the first song comes in for no apparent reason - watch that bit again, it's perfectly timed and placed. The adventure's wonderfully fun and silly in just the right mix and places. And I loved all the little creatures.BUT - you've gotta go into it the way its creators went into it - with the mind of a child. Go into it as an adult and you just won't get it, same as all the other adults here. Go into it as a child and it'll blow you away. Leave your adultness at the ticket barrier, open your mind to pure enjoyment and this movie'll absolutely get you.I went to see it because I loved the trailers. I don't know anything about Moshi Monsters. I'm 49. And I don't have any children. I just went to it by myself and had the best time I've had in a cinema for ages. Cinema going isn't about being scared/shocked/startled or nauseated. It should be about having a good time. And if you leave your adulthood behind, this movie will give you the best time you've had in years.And the Bollywood song? I'm wondering if Mind Candy is owned by Indians, they got the Bollywood number perfect. Both times they used it in the movie. I wished I'd had a child to watch it with at the end and if they do a sequel I'll be there for it! It's a Very Good Movie. It's just not for adults. Let your inner child love it as much as did mine.Moshi Eggs Forever!! ulrichburke
Go with your junior Moshi Superfans, they will go mad. It takes all the Moshi Monsters and some of the moshlings, mostly Mr Snoodle, and pits them against the arch-villain Dr Strangeglove and his sidekick Sweetooth and the glomps.If you have superfans and have been indoctrinated into knowing all the songs and stories then you will get it. There's a negative review on here and I don't know what he was expecting and why he thinks a Moshi fan wouldn't like it.Moshi Superfans should definitely see this as it's all you could hope for and more
Whilst really only for the under-8s I have to say that this film was not quite as dreadful as I had expected. I'm familiar with the characters as my daughter has long been a fan of the magazine and figurines and my knowledge of the cute, simplistic characters gave me no grounds for optimism when I took my seat at the local cinema this morning.A typical movie storyline was well paced, the characters reasonably fleshed out and the film itself not too long, though it was a little tedious in places. The selfish central character goes on something of a personal journey towards realising the value of teamwork and shared achievements - a tale that has been told many times before of course.Some of the dialogue and vocabulary was surprisingly well considered. I particularly liked a scene which went something like this: Sidekick: "Ooh, can I press the button, boss?" Baddie: "Yes you *can* press the button... but you *may* not!" Mind you, that might have gone over the heads of some of the parents (those who were still paying attention), never mind the children! In any case, the kids seemed to like it and it held their attention. Mind you, I won't be seeking out the DVD for a birthday present.
