What I'm Watching #199


monstersvsaliens, originally uploaded by Randuwa.

Went to see Monsters Vs. Aliens today up in Baltimore. It was all right. It had its moments. It also had its annoyances, not the least of which was the main character, Susan, a.k.a. Giganticus. She was wholly underdeveloped to the point of engendering zero on the empathy meter. Hard to really get into a movie when you find yourself wondering who to root for let alone why you should be on anyone's side: although, Bob the blob was compelling, at times--and had most of the funny lines! I didn't see it in 3D, and perhaps that technical distraction would have left me feeling better about this one....
