A cross between E.T. The extraterrestrial and Herbie and even Free Willy. But of course even the one with the little car and Lindsay Lohan is better than this movie. [Full review in Spanish]January 13, 2017
Monster Trucks is a wreck, fueled by the crazy belief that noise and repetition can disguise the lack of credible writing, directing, acting and FX.January 13, 2017
The story and characters are so bland and color-by-numbers that it's hard to care about this juvenile adventure rompJanuary 16, 2017
Audiences could do (and have done) a lot worse than this genial throwback to a time when Kurt Russell was Disney's #1 living, breathing attraction.January 13, 2017
CGI creatures have more personality than the humans. Characters and logic are sacrificed for images and gags.February 01, 2017
Somewhere at Paramount Animation, some bright spark must have noticed that boys like trucks and monsters.January 26, 2017
The spectacle of a loveable leviathan pounding down the motorway inside a rust bucket -- the ultimate hybrid vehicle -- is one of the silliest things put on screen in a long time.February 01, 2017
It does tend to lean towards the goofy side of things and it's not particularly memorable. But, hey, the kids will certainly get a kick out of it.February 09, 2017
Despite its multiple negatives, Monster Trucks boasts fantastic CGI effects for Creech, and this will aid its overall plot in earning a positive reception from its target market.January 25, 2017
A film without a narrative sufficiently seductive leaving us with just an unidentified creature and a handsome guy who builds monster trucks. [Full review in Spanish]January 14, 2017
These elements are all well and good, but if you're above the age of 12, it becomes considerably harder to reconcile the sporadic tone-deafness.January 13, 2017
A film that makes good on its laughable, low-concept premise, one that relies on an out-of-fashion moral clarity that may actually benefit its presumed child viewer.
