Monsters, Inc. is the last animated Disney movie that I liked. The voice actors are all great, and it is actually funny. I wish this movie had come around when I was a small child so it could have relieved the terror of the monsters in the closet or under the bed. The jokes were actually funny, and I can watch it over and over again.

Question
My roommate and I are fans of the old school Universal Monsters so we were thrilled to find Ravensburger Horrified: Universal Monsters Strategy Game. We are anxiously awaiting shipment of the game and are curious to know if anyone else has played it and what they think of it. If you've played it, please share your experience with me. I'm looking forward to playing it!

Love and monsters is quite a slow paced film about a journey and a character. Joel starts the film as a bit of a looser, he feels out of place and unneeded so he sets out to find the one person he thinks will appreciate him and, as he movers through the world he begins to find himself, a purpose and the meaning of family.
In some ways, Love and Monsters reminded me of 'Zombie land', we have some one who is just trying to find his place and his way in world that changed, he has to rely on the help of others whilst finding the right rules to help him survive. Of course the biggest difference is that there are monsters instead of Zombies.
Talking of the monsters, the effects are pretty good, the monsters are not all horrific and are pretty realistic. They help set the tone and pace in the film, providing threat, humour and atmosphere and it's nice to see that some of them just want to get on with their own lives.
Another thing that was nice to see was that (most of) the humans were also just trying to live, there weren't any 'Neagan's' or camps of overly aggressive thugs as you get used to seeing in a lot of post apocalyptic movies, which came as a bit as a surprise, I was expecting there to be something odd about the meeting between Joel and Aimee but, even though it doesn't necessarily go according to plan it still works out in a nice way.
And that's the thing, Love and Monsters is quite a nice film. The characters want to survive and even in a world populated by monsters that eat people the survivors find love and purpose, yes there are people who are just out for themselves, who are willing to steal and feed others to the monsters but they are in the minority.
The only really odd thing in this film are the Mav1s', there is not really anything to explain them.
Love and Monsters is no 'Godzilla', there are no monster v monster fights. and it's no 'A Quite Place' the monsters aren't necessarily hunting the survivors for anything other than food and this isn't a horror movie, it's a film about growth, love and family and man eating bugs.

JUMPCUT ONLINE (77 KP) rated Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) in Movies
Jul 3, 2019
Godzilla: King of the Monsters isn’t the film that we were all waiting for. It isn’t even in the ‘so bad it’s good’ category. For what should have been a fun summer blockbuster full of excitement, it lacks the energy and spirit for a truly great Godzilla film and that is the biggest disappointment of all. Long live the King.
