Movie Reviews
" Monsters University"
is a new film from Pixar that is a prequel to their film "Monsters
Inc.". In addition to the two main characters, a whole lot of new
characters are introduced at the college that Mike and Sully attended.
The plot involves Mike trying to become a 'scaring major'—something
quite unthinkable since he isn't the least bit scary. There's a lot more
to the film than this, but I won't spoil it by saying more about the
plot.
My daughter was lucky enough to go to the debut of "Monsters University". She liked it but also felt the story was disappointing since it lacked original characters and the story reminded her of too many college films (like "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Animal House"). My wife saw it with me and she said that the film put her to sleep! This is all very odd, as I am usually the most difficult to please in the family when it comes to films—yet I thoroughly enjoyed the film and nearly gave it a 9. While I would agree it lacks originality, it did make me smile. It was a nice, gentle film—one that I didn't mind just watching without picking it apart (like I usually do). Much of this is because the CGI was simply gorgeous and It was a pleasure watching such a beautiful film…as well as such a nice and enjoyable film.
