Lame by HExTeXly	Mar 11th, 2008 12:36:34 PM
Sounds like MARS ATTACKS
Fourth! by Exasperilious	Mar 11th, 2008 12:38:20 PM
Good cast. Might be somewhat enjoyable. Probably not tho.
Way to ape Pixar's character designs by jimmy_009	Mar 11th, 2008 12:45:10 PM
Notice the way Dreamworks humans are starting to look more and more like Pixar's humans. The 50 foot girl looks like Elastigirl and that blob looks like they pulled him straight off the set of Monster's Inc.
very happy for Rogen by ClockWorker	Mar 11th, 2008 12:45:57 PM
I'm glad the guy made it. He's golden for at least a little while.
i have more faith in sony'sCloudy With A Chance of Meatballs by I87D	Mar 11th, 2008 12:48:41 PM
at this point. (from the folks who brought you Clone High)
I'd rather see this by Billy Batts	Mar 11th, 2008 12:50:59 PM
live action. Colbert as the president, though....count me in.
Enough with the 3D by Jack Burton	Mar 11th, 2008 12:52:38 PM
Until you can make it without the need for glasses I'll pass. I also like the comment that the extra $15M to make it 3D results in higher ticket prices. Spider-Man 3 reportedly cost $300M to make, why were it's tickets same price as every other movie. This 3D revival is just another attempt to get everyone fed up with the "theater experience" out of their cozy livingrooms and into movie theaters with the public they are trying to avoid. 3D is fun in 20 minute doses, after that it just gets headache inducing. Movie sounds fun without the 3D gimmick, I'll wait until it comes home.
this looks cool... by Jonah Echo	Mar 11th, 2008 12:52:53 PM
it's not Zombies Ate My Neighbors, but it'll do.
I wish you'd mentioned that this was a fucking cartoon by TheContinentalOp	Mar 11th, 2008 01:03:04 PM
I wouldn't even have bothered to click on the link.
AVP - The Animated Series by bobinnova	Mar 11th, 2008 01:06:35 PM

Getting sick of CGI animated movies. by ZeroCorpse	Mar 11th, 2008 01:15:10 PM
Same story every time, with different details. Protagonist X is a quirky member of their race/species/group and "has a style all their own" which leads them on an adventure where they meet other misfit(s) who share some sort of growing/learning experience and combine their efforts to save the day using their particular quirkiness (the thing that makes them unique among their own group) as the deus ex cartoona du jour. Then Smashmouth's revolting, overused "rockstar" song (or one of Randy Newman's ridiculous tunes) plays and everybody realizes that the thing that makes them different is also the thing that makes them special. Roll credits.
Whaaaaaaaat? by Bobo_Vision	Mar 11th, 2008 01:21:21 PM
Sounds kind of reminiscent of "Mars Attacks" with a star-studded alien attack, a corny president, and wackiness. But this might turn out decent. I'll wait for the reviews. Get back to me in 4 years when this thing is finished.
So I Don't Get To Look Up 50' Reese's Skirt?! by CHEWBLACCA	Mar 11th, 2008 01:26:01 PM
Nuts to that!
That's the Pixar formula not standard for all cgi flicks by Reel American Hero	Mar 11th, 2008 01:26:22 PM

Worth seeing just for the cast by SketchaMPM	Mar 11th, 2008 01:29:08 PM
G.O.B., Dwight, Dr. House, Colbert...seriously, even if it sucks, I'll give this a watch.
I believe she's 49 feet, 11½ inches tall. by StudioPlant69	Mar 11th, 2008 01:33:03 PM
Just saying. Oh and ZeroCorspe you are so right about the songs. gfy
Colbert is the president? by TheBaxter	Mar 11th, 2008 01:34:52 PM
i thought he dropped out of the race already?
Another lame attempt by DreamWorks by Dwide Shrewd	Mar 11th, 2008 01:39:36 PM
to cash in on what Pixar has done so well at by focusing on CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, STORYTELLING, and HEART, rather than just trying to bank on their "star-studded ensemble voice talent". Two words: Shark Tale.
Whatever happend to the thing that made you different by Violet Grey	Mar 11th, 2008 01:40:56 PM
Just making you a freak that everyone gave a ton of shit to until the day you caught the pills and booze express to, "I bet they'll miss me when I'm gone"- ville?
You forgot to mention it's animated. by viewdrix	Mar 11th, 2008 02:02:10 PM
I thought it would be live-action. And therefore the greatest movie of all time.
Should be better than Chicken Little by bentmywookie	Mar 11th, 2008 02:07:27 PM
although I got con into that one too
Sounds dumb as hell! by thebearovingian	Mar 11th, 2008 02:10:57 PM
And I would know!
Another Dreamworks Committee Toon by christian66	Mar 11th, 2008 02:11:05 PM
Picture a bunch of marketing folk around a table coming up with new exciting fart jokes and cultural references attached to star cameos with bland artwork and voila!
Where is Shia THE BEEF? by skywalkerfamily	Mar 11th, 2008 02:49:37 PM
Someone give him work!
hot California girl (Reese Witherspoon) by DeCypher44	Mar 11th, 2008 02:53:07 PM
Wait, now I'm already confused.
Sounds fucking crap... by Tourist	Mar 11th, 2008 03:51:12 PM
...An excuse for 3D and CG gimmicks with good merchandising potential. However, I like shitty horror and sci-fi films, so I'll probally go see it. Go figure.
Amazing Collosal Bitch? by skywalkerfamily	Mar 11th, 2008 03:55:48 PM
Giant Mrs. Johnny Cash?
Sounds completley silly. Me likey. by Yeti	Mar 11th, 2008 03:56:34 PM
And Stephen Colbert as the President is inspired casting even if it's an animated movie.
I always thought Steven Colbert would be great by skywalkerfamily	Mar 11th, 2008 04:28:52 PM
as Inspector Gadget in a live action movie.
Will Colbert mock himself for being in this? by christian66	Mar 11th, 2008 04:31:12 PM
It's certain to be unfunny as hell.
Fire Witherspoon, make Colbert the star. And he by Flim Springfield	Mar 11th, 2008 05:12:16 PM

(oops) And he's live-action, in front of a green screen. by Flim Springfield	Mar 11th, 2008 05:12:47 PM

live action. by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Mar 11th, 2008 05:59:19 PM
or else nothing. i don't see how a 3-D, CG, cartoon movie can be a throwback to anything. besides Roger Rabbit, of course.
Colbert has done it! by Sulla	Mar 11th, 2008 06:31:51 PM
Finally, Stephen Colbert is President. Good work man! Hehe ;P
It was cooler when it was Rex Havoc and by Steve_Dooku	Mar 11th, 2008 07:05:04 PM
the Atomic 8. Dreamworks is a champ and taking a great premise and watering it down to lame pop-culture references and flavor of the week "voice actors" The characters were way cooler looking too. They were supposed to be versions of the 50's classics, 50 foot woman, The Fly, Creature of the Black Lagoon, the Blob.

How can it be called Monsters VS Aliens by skywalkerfamily	Mar 11th, 2008 10:25:56 PM
When it's some big chick VS Aliens?
Yes, this sounded significantly cooler when I thought it was liv by SilentP	Mar 11th, 2008 10:29:54 PM
WTF Herc, mention that it's animated in the goddamn article instead of getting everyone's hopes up.
*live action by SilentP	Mar 11th, 2008 10:30:18 PM
jeez, these subject lines are short now.
