Jesper Brun I may be a little harsh on MU, but I have two major issues which bucked me after watching it. More on them later, let us start with the good stuff. MU took our favourite monsters, Sully and Mike, and added so much to them as characters. It was a pleasure watching them and their interactions at MU. Even Randall has had a different relation to them in their past. The general idea is interesting enough. At the same time, we are acquainted with new and well executed characters. Everything is well done so far. My two problems with MU are as follows: Firstly, when Mike and Sully's team enters the competition to prove themselves worthy of being at MU, we only get to see a couple of the challenges. The rest is just quickly showing us the crossing of finish lines or something. I would have liked to see more of that competion! The story was very rushed at that moment.Secondly, the climax when they accidentally get into the human world felt like it was just squeezed in. That just how it felt to me, a little unnecessary filler. And if adult screams are more effective than child screams, why weren't they using them in Monsters Inc.?I would be eternally grateful if Pixar some time in the future will make and actual sequel to Monsters Inc. The ending of Monsters Inc. made obvious to begin working on a sequel. Perhaps something with Boo being a teenager and meeting Sully and Mike again? Or something with Boo having children being scared by monsters? It would be great! But back to MU. It is an enjoyable watch, I just have a few problems which bug me.

EBJ MONSTERS UNIVERSITY - 2013Directed by Don ScanlonStarring Billy Crystal, John Goodman and Helen MirrenPlot Overview: ​Ever since he was a kid monster, Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) has dreamed of becoming a Scarer. To make his dream a reality, he enrolls at Monsters University. During his first semester, he meets Sulley (John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. Sulley and Mike engage in a fierce rivalry that ultimately gets them both kicked out of MU's elite Scare Program. To make things right, Mike and Sulley -- along with a bunch of misfit monsters -- will have to learn to work together.Considering the greatness of 'Monsters Inc' and the the fine- mediocre track record of Pixar throughout 2011-2012, I had very low expectations for this movie. It should have been so much worse than it was. With that in mind, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. It is pretty entertaining and I guess I would recommend it overall. It was cute filler content that was clearly made for money but I can't say it is objectively bad. The best way to summarise this movie is: It shouldn't but it does. Interpret that Chinese Proverb as you will but as a whole I cay say I recommend this movie.I like the idea of them being at a University and I love the concept of the Scare Games. The plot surrounding these two ideas, however, is pretty paper thin and it doesn't' condone the movie's existence. One thing I wish they didn't do was rush through some of The Scare Games' trials. I would have liked some more expanding of the various trials; particularly the one were they must hide because that looks really fun.I may be in the minority here, but I wish the final 20 minutes was cut. Or at least altered in some way. The last act for this movie isn't funny, emotional, creative - it is just a meaningless buildup that ultimately leads to an emotionless conclusion. Again, I am probably in the minority with this but I wont conform to the general masses' opinion if I do not share it.Both Billy Crystal and John Goodman reprise their roles as Mike and Sully respectively, and both of them do great jobs in their roles. I love the way they toy with the idea that their friendship wasn't always as close as it is and that they had to work through some issues before hand. And I definitely believe their entire friendship is 100% natural and none of it artificial or forced.Helen Mirren is a fantastic addition as Dean Hardscrabble. I personally see her as the villain(not Roar Omega Roar) and by treating her as such, she is a pretty good antagonist. She is cruel yet fair and just. She has genuine growth and it all feels genuine. She is a great example of what an animated villain can be like.​ Other new additions in the form of: Don Carlton(Joel Murray), Terry&Terry(Sean Hayes), Squishy(Peter Sohn) and Art(Charlie Day), were all good. I like how they setup Randall's character and how they depict his slow descent into villainy. The faction he is apart of(Roar Omega Roar) mostly consists of bland, forgettable characters and I don't remember any of their names. Very disappointing, to be honest. They are supposed to be part of the adversaries in this tournament.Technically speaking, this movie is excellent. I love the colour palette and actually just the animation in general. The look and feel of the movies falls perfectly in line with the tone at all points. I adore the character design, with Hardscrabble being my personal favourite monster design in the series. The university is very well made and designed. Members of Oozma Kappa all look unique and interesting and their design reflects their personality really well. The cinematography and editing were both fine.I laughed a few times in the movie; there are some genuinely good and clever jokes. Plus, there is no toilet humour(I think)! This is the evolution we need as a species and I am proud to be a part of the movement that changed cinema humour forever.There is ONE kinda emotional moment but it just feels tacked on and doesn't move me in any way. I like this film more than I dislike it, and I can definitely recommend it. It is some cute filler that will satisfy kids and adults alike. I'll rate this movie 6 'Cute Ma-Kappas' out of 10!

Platypuschow I adored Monsters Inc, it was one of those surprise movies you go into with no expectations and are blown away by. It took years for me to get round to this due to my endless watchlist but I'm so happy I can say that it's worth of the the franchise.Charming, well written, full of laugh out loud moments and undeniably loyal to the original movie with tie-ins around every corner.I especially liked Helen Mirrens character, part monster, part bat, part centipede? I like centipedes, I wanted to be an entomologist once upon a time, obsessed over bugs, learnt all about them then learnt about these things called university, qualifications and effort and thought against it. I'll leave entomology to those with motivation, you enjoy your bugs and I'll enjoy women, movies, video games and various other fun stuff.I digress, Monsters University is a sweet heartfelt movie and makes me hope they make a final part to make a monsters trilogy. Maybe touching upon certain events that happened in this as opposed to it's sequel.Sadly I don't see this happening, I think we have more likelihood of a Princess Bride 2, Brave 2 or a movie where Zac Efron doesn't play an arrogant douche who likes to take his shirt off.

Claudson Lana One of the coolest stories in online cinema. Stunning characters, and Creative history. Who is imagined monsters in a university. Amazing soundtrack, I love the sound of metal. I just have to compliment a team involved in this incredible project. I may seem naive in criticism, but the mass is, so what is the problem.
