They're making a sequel? The first one was boring enough.

No thanks.

I thought the original was quite good especially when you consider the budget it had. It was quite an astonishing achievement for the team.

It was pretty deceiving though. I wasn't expecting a road trip movie but that's what it was.

I am so not surprised to see that this was a low budget movie... but so was Saw and Napoleon Dynamite. They were amazing movies. This movie was horrible. Bad writing, decent special effects on the "monsters", but no special effects anywhere else really. Horrible acting, and horrible directing. The only thing this movie succeeds at is having the ability to rip people off by telling them it is something that it is not, and having them only find out after purchasing it.

The cover art on the dvd case is much better than the entire movie.

Ya - that's true but i found that it had a decent edge and kinda built a nice atmosphere which had me interested.

I found that there was a constant buildup to nothing, followed by the same over and over..

closed minded much, this was more than just alien invasion movie.

It was everything BUT an alien invasion movie. That's the entire problem with it.

You guys can disagree all you want but it was a road trip movie.

Cool, all right

Fun Fact: It has been released last week in my country, in limited release, not in my region, can you believe that?

Not saying I will pirate it, but isn't stuff like this that promote piracy?

No - I don't believe you at all. They haven;t even started on the sequel yet.

It's this Monsters here:
http://www.imdb.com/title/t...

It's a British sci-fi movie. Frankly, I was rather disappointed by it and didn't find it all that good. However, many seemed to enjoy it.

I never saw it or heard about it. I go to amazon.uk sometimes because I can get new releases a lot cheaper there but I don't remember that one...oh well, from what you say I didn't miss much.

hopefully it doesn't turn into a splosion-fest gimmicky-hand-camera view like cloverfield. I loved the approached they had in the first one.

Cloverfield was AWESOME!!! I still don't know why I haven't got that in my BluRay collection yet.

I don't know why this movie is called monsters. This movie is a worthless piece of petrified diarrhea. The "monsters" that only appear towards the end of the movie are more like cattle that a grazing for grass in a field. They don't do anything, and there is no excitement in this movie whatsoever.

I found that the movie was basically about 2 people just walking around and commenting on stuff, and never actually anything much happened. I can't remember even 1 cool part of the movie, because I don't think there was any.

I was fooled by the claims that it was a greatest monster movie of the era and all this shit by the writing on the dvd cover. I don't know who wrote this, but whoever it is, I imagine that this is probably the first monster movie they have ever seen. That is the only way possible to find this to be a great monster movie.

I feel sorry for anyone who rents this. I wasted 560 Microsoft points renting it on the Zune service on my xbox, and had my family over to watch it because it claimed to be so good. The entire movie I felt embarrassed and nobody liked it at all.

A decent monster movie a The Host. That was an ok one. Other than that though, you really can't go wrong with Godzolla and his buddies.

Please don't watch the first movie, because if you all do they will think we want another one.. :(

I'd like to see a new more modern Godzilla - I didn't hate the one from Roland Emmerich with Mather Brodderick. It was a summer SFX extravaganza. A decent popcorn movie.

Never seen Monsters, but it doesn't appear I missed out on anything worth my time.

Comparing the storyline to "Heart of Darkness" is pretty bold. That's big time cinematic royalty. Coppola's Apocalypse Now adaptation is superb.

I saw this on Netflix about a month ago. It is slow but I enjoyed it. I didn't really have any expectation about it so I went into it with ab open mind and was pretty impressed. I can see how it wouldn't be for everyone, but I enjoyed it.
