The Film won't win any awards, but it's definitely not a bad movie. It's silly, crazy, weird, and mostly made for younger kids, but once you realize this, it becomes very enjoyable to sit through.

It's silly, crazy, weird, and mostly made for younger kids, but once you realize this, it becomes very enjoyable to sit through. The characters are fun and bizarre, the "creature" and overall film is original, and the action is incredibly unrealistic, but boarderline exciting to watch. The plot is fairly thin and the whole time I was left to wonder where all the parents were, but overall, it was worth the ticket price and a great Film to keep the kids, and some adults, amused.… Expand

Clearly not a film designed to be nominated for any awards. Kids will like it, you won't hate it. Entertaining. If you go into it expecting a masterpiece, you will be disappointed.

This new friend (an impressively realistic blob) is an amphibian cross between a squid and dolphin that lives on oil and loves to power the vehicle. This film was produced by Nickelodeon, which gives you an idea of the approach: good natured characters (even the villains aren't that mean), lots of energetic physical fun (including numerous car chases) and a lively pace. For anyone over about 10 years old this movie might just seem silly, but it should prove an enjoyable escape for the intended young audience.… Expand

This film has some decent visuals but is ultimately loaded with dumbity and nonsense.

Very intentional film, but could not deliver!

There are lots of similarities with other films, maybe not directly. In todays world, it became practice to give kids (and sometimes for women) their own version of what meant for only grownups.Very intentional film, but could not deliver!

There are lots of similarities with other films, maybe not directly. In todays world, it became practice to give kids (and sometimes for women) their own version of what meant for only grownups. So there's no use whining about that. Because those who does might not be the target audience. This is I think purely for kids, otherwise it would have not got bold PG, but like usual for any film, I gave it a try. Even though it's not original, somewhat I enjoyed watching it.

The story was in usual pattern that opened with an intro, then moving to unleash the long trapped ancient creatures into the human society. One becomes friend with it and a few starting to hunt it with the rest are as the neutral or unaware of it. There's nothing unpredictable in it. And so the tale comes to halt with a finale where maximum push was given, but overall it fails to impress on the average expectation.

Good title, good idea, even the graphics were not bad, but not good enough stunts with okay performances. I feel it could have become a good television series than the film. So they should scrap the idea if they have one for a sequel and instead make a shift to television. Other than what I thought, this is a good entertainer for little kids. So it should be watched by them more than their counterparts.

Though it has moments of swirling ambition and stylized CGI, Monster Trucks proves that a simple children's story doesn't quite work for the general audience anymore.
