Monsters Univesity (Spoilers)

Post by Zor »

Has anyone else seen this movie? I thought it was pretty good prequel to Monsters Inc. (which is one of my favorite Pixar movies).

Also Dean Hardscrabble is awesome.

I appreciated the fact that Hardscrabble still expelled them. It showed a consistent punishment code, and it was nice to see the idea of "these guys get off because they did something awesome/are special" be played with and then rejected.

Overall, the movie was great. There were a lot of great characters that include elements that play to adults very well ("I can't go back to jail" had me rolling), and the humor really starts to groove in the second half of the movie. The story is fun and the characters are pretty good. Also, Nathan Fillion makes a nice appearance.

If anything, I'd say the movie's pacing chugs a bit at the first little bit of the movie, but I can understand the need to build the plot.
