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.

Monster Trucks: My Critique & Trailer Review

All the critics here are MORONS. Monster Trucks is a superior film, I touched myself the entire time I was in the theater. Creech's performance throughout this entire film was wonderful, dare tell me that he's CGI and not a real monster and I will thank you next time I confront you in the back alley of the local Krogers. not all heroes wear capes, and in the case of monster trucks, my hero wears an entire fucking truck on its body. fuck yeah, mother trucking' monster trucks.

The same folks that said Home Alone was 1-star because it didn't have the depth of the Godfather are the same folks telling you this movie has no audience. This is a great film geared towards kids 12 and under that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Just went with three families - 10 of us total - and everyone enjoyed it (from age 3-60). If you have young boys, they will love it. It was actually (shockingly) a pretty good story, even though it was a little cheesy in parts. My 8 year old loved it, my 12-year-old thought it was pretty good. My wife and I were both assuming it was going to be awful. Not a must see but not as bad as the ratings here.

Time will tell, but Monster Trucks just might qualify as the strangest movie I see this year. 

For one, the film is a big budget production that has apparently found itself in a battle against its own idea. Letting the idea of a monster that inhabits a truck apparently makes for good internet fodder (even if it was only going off the trailer). This likely led to the film only bringing in 10 million over the weekend (for a film that cost close to 200 million to make). 

Secondly, word on the street is that the film was originally being written for a slightly older crowd. Forecasting the challenge of the internet fodder pushed it back onto the editing floor in efforts to reformat its core audience. This ended up tweaking the story a bit younger than intended. 

All of this has led to a film that tries to be a number of things all at the same time. 

Having seen the film, I must say, they actually do a decent job at explaining the whole idea of the monster in the truck. If there was a way for them to make the whole concept make sense (practically), they managed to find a way, and it keeps the film from becoming cheesy.

It is still, however, a film about a monster in a truck, and there were a number of ways they could approach the story behind the concept. 

After moving us through a very quick sequence of events that bring the monster into play, we are introduced to the main character (Tripp) who is presented as a young senior trying to navigate a broken home and difficult social life (alcoholic and absent father, outcast at school). These opening scenes are quite good, and open the door to approach the film in a more serious manner (kind of like they did with Pete's Dragon). But then we veer into some sequences that feel more like a film that intends to approach the concept in a more over the top, fun and ridiculous manner. More of a satire and farce than a serious story. 

This back and forth follows the film throughout, moving from the action sequences to the more serious subject matter (which moves from Tripp to a message about environmentalism). It gives the entire film a weird and loopy feel that left me uncertain about what kind of film it really wanted to be. 

And here's the thing: the on-screen monster (which is not really a monster) looks quite good, and the film spends a good deal of time giving us some nice close-up shots of the monster's detail. But this attention to detail mixes a weirdly compelling gross factor with the sweetness that story brings out of the creature. It's a rather confusing mix of emotion. And this is not to mention it is a film about environmental consciousness that is also about a gas guzzling truck. But hey, that should reach both crowds, right?

The film is a mix of old school 80's films, throwing in a little bit of E.T. and A Never Ending Story with a bit of Pete the Dragon and Herbie. If that makes any sense you are further along than I am in understanding Monster Trucks. And to be honest, I could see my 8-10-year-old self-loving this film back in the 80's. As an adult, I must admit that it succeeded in taking me back to my 8-year-old self. 

There is a cohesive story, and the seriousness of the opening sequence gives it just enough to carry through some of the hodgepodge of tonnes, just enough to enjoy the heart of the monster-Tripp relationship, even as we are laughing at the more satirical parts of the film in the next scene (I hope Jane Levy's character was intended as a satire, because I laughed every time she was on the screen). 

I think if you choose not to take the film too seriously, but allow yourself to fall for the weirdly charming monster, you might get this film. If you are free to yell "come on Macgyver", and still care enough to say "awe" when Tripp says "you are a good monster", you might enjoy the film. And your experience might depend on the company you watch it with. It is a film that I think our son would have really liked two years ago. He simply enjoyed it at 15. I enjoyed it because I was able to allow myself to shed a few years off of myself at the same time.

Read a lot of terrible reviews about this movie, but in a somewhat telling situation my four-almost-five-year-old boy BEGGED us to take him, so we did. Sure, Rolling Stone and the LA Times thought it was crap, but I suspect if they had been four-year-old boys reviewing it they would have given it four stars, as I am, on behalf of my boy. The story is cute and simple. The trucks are...monster-ish. The monster is actually pretty cute. There is no curse words or violence. No sarcasm or cynicism. Just a cute story about monsters and trucks. What more could a little kid ask for?

Um, did you expect a masterpiece? An academy award contender? A science fiction epic? You did expect a Nickelodeon-style children's movie, right? Okay, go into to movie expecting it to be what it was intended to be. This is a pretty good children's movie, albeit a little bit misguided in its message but that is commonplace. It's fun, the effects are quite good, it has good humor and a sweet message about family. It's certainly being misrepresented by some critics and moviegoers. I overheard a fellow claim that it only made $3 million on opening weekend.... but it did well over 3 times that figure. I hope that it does better than most are expecting. If you missed it because you thought it would be awful, especially if your children are interested in the commercials, I recommend that you give it a shot. And I'm not a big custom truck type of guy. 

Oh! I forgot to mention this: Monster Trucks has perhaps the best usage of the Wilhelm Scream that I have ever experienced!! Watch the movie just for that! Monster Trucks Initial Reaction: A movie about trucks that become monsters or monsters that become trucks? 

Main Characters

Tripp: He's a worker at a junkyard. He's played by Lucas Till.

Plot Summary

When an oil company searches through the earth for the next stash of oil, they run into a huge batch of water. When they try to punch through it, they find that it is inhabited by squid-like creatures. One of the creatures manages to escape while two others get caught by the company. The escaped squid creature hides in a junkyard and is found by Tripp. They have a bit of a rough first impression, but it's not long before the creature and Tripp become friends.

That's when Tripp finds out that these creatures drink oil instead of water and they can be used as engines for large trucks. Tripp outfits one such truck with his squid pal, and they are off. But when several guys from the oil company show up at Tripp's door to find the missing squid creature, it gives him reason to help that squid creature find the other two creatures and set all of them free.

SCORING

Main Characters

The trip is really good as a guy who just wants to do the right thing. And he has great chemistry with the squid creature. 

Supporting Cast

There's the leading lady who's there to be the "his girlfriend but not his girlfriend", a bunch of standard bad guys and the father figure who for some reason isn't around to help out. Not a good group. 

Plot

The film starts off great with the creatures being found - and how Tripp and his squid become friends. But the climax is really convoluted and the resolution leaves a lot to be desired. 

Originality

This film feels like your average alien film; the trucks really don't add much to the mix. And it also suffers from bland bad guys and the bland leading lady. 

Violence Factor

There are a lot of trucks bashing into each other, and some of them crash. But we don't see any damaged or destroyed trucks onscreen - they just vanish as if they never existed. Not good. 

Other Moral Issues

This film does a great job of showing how two totally different creatures can learn to work as a team. 

Monster Trucks Movie Review

Monster Trucks Movie Review: Although there is a clear and see the big trucks break and generally do crazy, we came to the use of CG and the fact that the case is a potential series finale summer: the film plays the role of "monsters", and trucks.

Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, Kung Fu Panda and a continuation of DreamWorks Animation and Paramount wrote was developed for the new movie of SpongeBob writes on board of the new company. The study aims to develop production in the first half of next year, ready for what is already a busy summer 2015th. Monster Trucks full movie online or Monster Trucks full movie leaked can be found online.

Can this new Transformers Paramount (not the "old" Transformers risk closure)? Only time will tell on that front, but we are curious to see what Wedge did something similar. They are an increasingly important role in Robosaurus, but you do not want this type when you are angry.

Film hybrid live-action / animation tends to make a lot of money, with films like Alvin and the Chimpmunks really a complete trilogy of films and recent Smurfs 2 and make a good amount of money in the cashier, and now it seems that there is a game Paramount Pictures will. According deadline is Paramount Animation develop a new function and relationships, will be a hybrid operating Monstertrucks. Director Chris Wedge, who co-founded Blue Sky Studios and has spent most of his career spent working with Twentieth Century Fox, is now reportedly in final negotiations to direct the project.

It is unclear what the story of the film will be, but apparently the original property and the study is expected to "become a franchise like Transformers" (which may indicate that the film will have a field of action-heavy and / or it is planning to sell lots of crap shaped toy characters). Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, the screenwriting duo behind the first two films of Kung Fu Panda DreamWorks Animation and Paramount upcoming movie SpongeBob.

The studio hopes the film will become a part of your summer 2015 slate, which as early as next reboot the Terminator (which will be in theaters June 26, 2015) is. The season seems already one of the craziest of all time, with titles like Joss Whedon The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Batman Vs. Zack Snyder's Superman movie, JJ Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII, Colin Trevorrow Jurassic Park IV, Roland Emmerich's Independence Day 2 Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg Pirates of the Caribbean 5, and more.

We first got to know about Paramount Animation in July 2011 because it was formed after the distribution agreement with DreamWorks Animation and Paramount later went to work with Fox. SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, directed by Paul Tibbitt says he gets somewhere next year, but an official release date has not been announced.
