I got to see this movie a few weeks ago and I absolutely loved it. The 3D was incredible and really, really well done.

Go see this! You won't be disappointed!

I thought it was okay, mainly aimed at kids, but parents/adults won't find much more beyond what's on the screen. The monsters grow on you, as I didn't take to them instantly, but as the movie wore on, their quirks and humor worked on a superficial level.

I did see the 3D version, and it was fine in 3D.

I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.

I liked it. There are plenty of references to 50's and 60's monster flicks that would fly right over kid's heads.
I don't think anyone in the Friday night crowd I was in even got the Close Encounters reference.

Not a great movie, but not bad either. It was an enjoyable way to waste a couple of hours. I saw this in IMAX 3-D and it was a really cool presentation. I got the Close Encounters joke, and so did the adults in the audience(which is funny that they somehow managed to turn a Close Encounters joke into a Beverly Hills Cop joke without seeming forced).
I hope this is not a gimmick, I really enjoyed the 3-D. Stephen Colbert makes this movie funnier than it would have been.
This is a solid B (movie).

I thought it was really funny.

I don't know if it was me or what but I was seeing black horizontal lines across the screen during an IMAX 3D screening. I watched Beowulf 3D in the same theater and that definitely did not have black horizontal lines across the screen. It kind of looked like scan lines but spread apart. No one else were complaining and my friend next to me did not see them. Maybe it was those big IMAX 3D glasses that were defective. :frowning: Or me.
