An action-packed slog
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
View MoreGo 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
View MoreForget the snobbish know-all critics, this is a terrific children's movie with dollops of adult humour hidden away for the oldies to giggle at.* The story is simple, tight, clear, and fun. * The animation and colours are sharp, vibrant, and eye catching - almost psychedelic. * The music is BRILLIANT - my little ones (4 and 3) and I listen to the soundtrack every day. The Sweet Tooth Stomp rocks! * Nothing inappropriate for children. All good, clean fun with lots of adult stuff to keep the parents amused. * As I said, forget the snobs and the know-alls. Take your children to see it or Dr Strangeglove will do you in!
View MoreWhilst 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.
View MoreGuess what, if your child likes Moshi Monsters they will like this. My 6 and 4 year olds really enjoyed it, and I enjoyed it likewise by proxy. If you've ever seen any of the Moshi music videos on YouTube then you've got the idea. Colourful, musical, simply animated, squeaky, noisy. Yes it's garish, but not as headache-inducing as I feared. The use of shadow, lighting and blurring of the various 2D planes softened things to manageable levels. The music is inventive, well-produced, catchy and there's lots going on in the accompanying animation to mean you won't fall asleep in your role as accompanying adult. The plot is simple, linear, and doesn't contain any clever gags or innuendos for the grown- ups - it's just face value, goodies versus baddies rainbow coloured cutesy nonsense for Moshi fans. Loved it.
