Will Paramount's Monster Trucks Flop This Year 2017?

Will Paramount's Monster Trucks Flop This Year 2017? I don't think so. Just got done watching this movie with my family... I'm not sure I understand what the critics expect but this movie was good and wholesome. It had a good storyline, no language, and had morals for a change.I would recommend this to anyone who wants a change from the vulgarity that Hollywood usually puts out. I don't know who signed up for this piece of garbage when the idea was pitched sound some conference table, but, apparently, they think.anything they throw together with no matter how ridiculous, ignorant, far fetched, etc people will accept as valid entertainment.

170114: Two eleven-year-old boys raved about this film. Their 50-year-old escort not so much. Jane Levy reminded me of Lindsay Lohan and the film made me think of Disney. Monster Trucks is basically a two-hour commercial for Dodge with some pretty bad acting. In regards to the special effects, the creatures did not inspire much but their integration into the vehicles was pretty damn neat. Unfortunately, I will not likely ever seek this film out again. While the story was predictable and the characters are bland. the concept is similar to films like fast and furious and how to train your dragon. But however, the jokes are pretty decent. With the lack of better way of saying it, I feel like it....came out at a weird time. It is enjoyable to children and I highly recommend it but for 5-12-year-olds, adults and teens watch just for laughs. Its not easy Monster Trucks movie download HD version.

So the plot consists of a few elements we've seen before: the hidden pet, the big bad corporations trying to destroy the alien/magical creatures, the standard teen movie drama (although toned down for kids). But honestly, it worked, it didn't break new ground or anything, but it wasn't unwatchable, the plot flow felt pretty organic, nothing really felt out of place.

Visually, it was amazing! The landscape shots were a feast for the eyes, the town felt like a real place, & the car chases were about as action packed & nail-biting as a PG movie can get, which were better than you'd think.

The creatures were really well done, they moved as if they had actual weight, & looked about as real as they could. Their design was...what I think H.P. Lovecraft would think up if he was tasked with making a lovable kids' character; but at the same time, they followed a pretty plausible biological path, even calling into question some of our old legends.

The cast was pretty decent, our main guy was multilayered & relatable. Jane Levy is always a delight to watch; as our main girl, she's kind've subdued, I felt as if she was fighting to hold back her performance. Of course, this did help me see her as an awkward smart girl coming out of her shell, so it all worked out. The supporting characters truly lived up to their roles, helping the heroes move the story along. The villains were a mixed bag: you got your soulless business man, your intelligent but brutal enforcer, your good-to-bad turncoat, your bad-to-good turncoat, bottom line, they played their parts well, & I could tell that the actors were putting in some real effort, even though it's a kids movie.

3 & 1/2 stars out of 5, if you have a family, if you love machinery, if you are not totally sick of environmental messages, this film is worth seeing. Now, this begs the question: will we ever get a crossover with Pete's Dragon? Only time will tell. I hope the SEC is planning to investigate the $115M writedown Paramount/Viacom took on this film. I think that this movie might just be an enormous scam or some kind of insurance fraud. This movie supposedly cost $125M to make. That's a lot of money. $15M more in fact than it cost Sony to make Passengers which starred Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt in a Dubai hotel floating through space. This movie stars Lucas Till as Tripp, Jane Levy as a girl, and Dodge logo as a Dodge logo brought to you by Dodge. There is no way that this steaming pile cost $125M to make. That's 2 and a half times the budget of Arrival which again had to pay real actors with real name recognition. This looks like a $50M film max so I'm just curious about what they spend the other $75M on. Maybe they spent it on the rights to film on location at an actual Dodge dealership for literally 20 minutes of the movie. 

The movie itself was full of flat characters meandering their way through the disjointed plot. Overall it was utterly forgettable which is the absolute worst thing a movie about trucks full of octopi can possibly be. I can't believe that the critics didn't like this movie. My boys 8 & 9 LOVED it and I thought it was funny and totally family friendly. Kid movies should be fantastical and cheesy! Our children get enough reality, and I don't think they made it get the best Drama Oscar. I wasn't expecting much from this movie but I have to say as an adult I really enjoyed it. In addition, the other mom and five kids (girls and boys) I went with loved the movie. I would much rather see it again than "Sing" which we thought was a little boring other than the end song sequence. 

Monster Trucks is just over two hours long but we felt it went by really fast. The action was nonstop and held our attention the whole time. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone looking to fill an afternoon with the kids. Once again I love it when people give reviews without seeing a movie just to post something. We just saw the movie and the audience was full of parents with and without kids. The whole audience was laughing and cheering. Just a fun feel good movie and will see it again. Just good fun family film for a change....no wonder critics panned it.

Monster Trucks is better than expected.Although the movie delivers some chuckles, the acting in this movie is absolute trash! All the 'Emotional' scenes aren't well handled and that is the fault of both the actors and the Director. Speaking of the director, Chris Wedge, Paramount lured him away from the studio he co-founded, Blue Sky Studios (Ice Age, Rio), to direct this film, was it a good move on Wedge's part, no, although Blue Sky's latest release Ice Age Collision Course is sitting at a 15% Rotten Tomatoes and only managed to rake in $64 Million at the Domestic Box Office, The Ice Age movies are huge hits in the foreign market, The foreign market helped Collision course be a success by making $408 Million worldwide total. Monster Trucks is expected to open with about $10.1 Million and end its run with $22 Million (Domestic), If that ends up being true Paramount Pictures will loose $115 Million! To Monster Trucks' credit they got me to fall in love with Creeth, Yes the CG used to bring Creeth to life is horribly done, his personality was the best thing about this movie, he provided humour and heart! The car chases in this film are also well done, they are thrilling and extremely fun to watch. 

This is a good movie for small kids who enjoy science. It gives elements of engineering, biology, chemistry, archeology, and environmental preservation. It starts off a bit slow and doesn't build the characters so well, but it had my nephew and the other kids in the theater cheering. Their happiness is what counts the most.

Chris Wedge's 'Monster Trucks' (2016) is a fun family film that isn't as bad as you think it's going to be. This film is okay, it's a cool action flick for children, the script is a bit laughable and its obvious when watching that the actors featured in 'Monster Trucks' are genuinely struggling to deliver their lines. Overall though, the action is fun and I think this film works well for the very young audience its targeting.
