Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Mihai Toma Since he was a little monster, Mike wanted to go to MU (Monsters University) in order to become a top scarer for his kind. His only problem was that he wasn't scary at all. Despite this "minor" issue, he's determined to work hard in order to achieve his dream, although his only hope apparently lies in winning the famous Scare Games. Together with a team a misfits and a self-centred enemy, he must do everything in his power to succeed or face expulsion.It's a movie which bases its story way before the events from Monsters Inc, presenting the beginnings of Mike and Sully, how they got along in college, how they managed to overcome their condition and differences and ultimately become the best friends we saw in the first instalment. It's also funny as its predecessor, but unfortunately, it misses the idea of the first movie, one that made it really good. It lacks the thrill, the emotion and the soul. It feels unpolished, made to be a laugh, much more superficial I might say, fact which lowers the overall quality quite significant. It focuses way too much on those games but doesn't manage to involve the viewer as well, to somehow make him care about what's happening, especially when considering that the two compete together although they are bitter rivals and are "helped" by the only fraternity that was left in the campus. And, not to say that the finale is more or less known, having seen the first one. It redeems itself a bit towards the end with a couple of twists but it simply falls into mediocrity, without anything to make it stand out.Overall, it feels like a sequel (although it's a prequel) which was made just to profit from the name the first instalment made for itself, ditching key aspects which made it great, inexplicably choosing another path, ending up an average movie. You can watch it out of curiosity but don't expect the same quality, or you'll be disappointed.
Platypuschow I adored Monsters Inc, it was one of those surprise movies you go into with no expectations and are blown away by. It took years for me to get round to this due to my endless watchlist but I'm so happy I can say that it's worth of the the franchise.Charming, well written, full of laugh out loud moments and undeniably loyal to the original movie with tie-ins around every corner.I especially liked Helen Mirrens character, part monster, part bat, part centipede? I like centipedes, I wanted to be an entomologist once upon a time, obsessed over bugs, learnt all about them then learnt about these things called university, qualifications and effort and thought against it. I'll leave entomology to those with motivation, you enjoy your bugs and I'll enjoy women, movies, video games and various other fun stuff.I digress, Monsters University is a sweet heartfelt movie and makes me hope they make a final part to make a monsters trilogy. Maybe touching upon certain events that happened in this as opposed to it's sequel.Sadly I don't see this happening, I think we have more likelihood of a Princess Bride 2, Brave 2 or a movie where Zac Efron doesn't play an arrogant douche who likes to take his shirt off.
Claudson Lana One of the coolest stories in online cinema. Stunning characters, and Creative history. Who is imagined monsters in a university. Amazing soundtrack, I love the sound of metal. I just have to compliment a team involved in this incredible project. I may seem naive in criticism, but the mass is, so what is the problem.
zkonedog Considering that the original "Monsters Inc." was released all the way back in 2001, I was interested to see if this long-time-coming sequel could re-capture the magic. By-and-large, it does with that patented PIXAR mix of humor and heart.For a basic plot summary, this film details the meeting of young one-eyed monster Mike (voiced by Billy Crystal) and Sullivan (John Goodman) at Monsters University, a monster-world school for "scarers". Randall Boggs (Steve Buscemi) also plays a role (a "returning" character from "Inc."), while a group of geeky monster freshmen discover what working together and for a better future is all about.Simply put, "Monsters U" is a very solid effort in the animation category. To be sure, it is not in the upper-echelon (Toy Story, Nemo, Tangled, Wall-E), but it is purely entertaining. The humor will make even adults laugh (or any of those who can relate to the college experience), while the "heart" moments (while not quite as emotional as "Inc.") are present and in the right places.I had fun watching this flick with my younger sister...simple as that. It doesn't go on any of my "best of" lists or anything like that, but I would recommend it for family viewing to anyone. Even after 12 years away from Mike and Sullivan, director Dan Scanlon manages to keep the characters and their universe relevant.
