Monsters University (2013) Review by Joejoesan from Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Of all the Pixar movies Monsters Inc. has always been my absolutefavorite. The incredible story of the remarkable friendship betweenSully, Mike and Boo made me watch the movie more than 10-15 timesalready. When it was released on blu-ray I was the first one to buy it.So when Pixar announced another Monsters movie I got concerned. Howcould Pixar make a better movie than the original? Or even one thatequalled it? But having seen the movie last week I can ensure you all:Pixar is back on top. Monsters University is great fun and it's Pixarbest since Up!.
Monsters University, a prequel to Monsters Inc., begins with a youngand very little Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) still in primary school.After a field trip to Monsters Inc. he has only one dream: to become ascarer. Years later he arrives at Monsters University but soon learnshe still has a long way to go. His main problem? Mike isn't scary atall. He befriends his roommate young Randall (Steve Buscemi), who atthat time is an unimportant loser (and later gets seduced by the darkside). The first night he makes an enemy out of Sully (John Goodman), afreshman who thinks that his family name (of legendary scarers) isenough to get him through school. A personal vendetta is born.
Things go wrong when Mike and Sully accidentally destroy a sacred itemthat belongs to the devilish Dean Hardscrabble (a brilliant HelenMirren). They get expelled from all Scare Classes and will not graduateas a real Scarer. Luckily Mike comes up with a plan, a bet with thedean. If he finds a team to compete in the Scare Games and if he indeedwins, he's allowed to follow the Scare Classes until the end. DeanHardscrabble approves. Now it's up to Mike, Sully and his team oflosers to work as a team and go the distance…
In Monsters University the Scare Games are very well done. I can seeboth kids and adults laughing their socks off when Mike and Sully, inthe same team but still enemies, are doing their first race and try notto step on the items that make their body grow. Bizarre, but hilarious!Their next assignment, when they have to steal something in thelibrary, is also a winner. But what really works in Monsters Universityis that the story is mainly about friendship. We not only see how Mikeand Sully turn from big enemies into big friends; they become soulmates for life. To join the Scare Games Mike must find five extramembers to form a team and the only ones left are a bunch of nerds thatno one pays attention to and a big blue monster that he absolutelyhates (Sully). Still Mike succeeds in making it work.
Even when you know that Mike and Sully will win the Scare Games (thatisn't a spoiler, is it?), this film isn't predictable at all. Itdoesn't end with Sully holding up the Scare cup but it takes one moregreat scene to bring Mike and Sully definitely together. I will notspoil it for you, but it involves a door to the human world and alittle green monster that's depressed.
Monsters University is a great film. It's both funny and sentimental inall the right places. Fans of the first movie will see a lot of cameosin this one (Yeti!). The story ends when Monsters Inc. begins. I willeven advise the next generation to see Monsters University first andthen go on to Monsters Inc.
Yeah, my faith in Pixar is restored. Although I must confess that withPlanes coming up, things can change very fast in the wrong direction.But maybe that's because I have never liked the Cars movie.
9/10
Monsters University (2013) Review by Brandon Oberdorf from United States
First and foremost, this movie should be almost painfully relatable tothe Disney Renaissance Generation. For the convenience of the meaningstold in Disney and Pixar films, couldn't be more relatable to the ageof those born in the mid 90's growing up. Also, for the question of aMonsters Inc. Prequel being necessary? Make that decision after thecredits roll, for this was the most enjoyable movie I've seen so far in2013. In an overwhelming blockbuster summer of over-hyped excitementfollowed by mild to severe disappointment, Monsters University isn'tjust a good sign for Pixar, it's a good sign that 2013 can be one ofthe best years of film.
Full HD Movie On to the review! The story of the origin of the friendshipbetween one-eyed Mike Wazowski and the blue furred James P. Sullivan intheir freshman year at Monsters University. This film has homages toall the classic college comedy movies, and as it doesn't hold out onlaughs for the kids and adults, it has a great amount of heart.Questions of what the future holds, and if our dreams are as possibleas we hope they are. Punches aren't pulled on these questions, which iswhy it isn't just some animated movie to take the kids to see.
References to real college life are blended with superb imagination ofthe monster world. Rather it be a long blonde haired guitar player, orthe horns on the school bus. All original voice talent returns andkeeps up with the track record of great performances in Pixar films.Billy Crystal, John Goodman, and Steve Buscemi grasp their charactersand give them entirely different motivations compared to the original.Instead of a hardworking team, the two have a rivalry, and thesupporting cast of their fraternity supply more relatability with agreat variety of lovable monsters who help fill the story with evenmore heart.
The compatibility with Mike and Sully can be a bit surprising, for oneis the study hard teachers pet, and the other a natural born scarestudent. And just as you think your more like one, the other comes inand you realize that even monsters can be scared of the real world justlike us today. Fear of what life has in store, and if we have thetalent to fulfill our dreams. This is a theme a lot of critics aremissing, and shines making it worthy of being a great Pixar movie andprequel to a great classic.
The story isn't terribly generic as one may think, and every act ismore different from the last. Starting with the clash between Mike andSully, then onto the scare games, an intense series of games thatdeclare supremacy of M.U. For the third and final act couldn't be moresurprising though. It not only serves as a great climax, but somethingthat we can once again commend Pixar for telling great stories in outof the box thinking that we should think paying for the $10 dollarticket is worth it. And boy did I think this movie was worth it, for Iwill be definitely be seeing it a second and possibly third time. Itwasn't a prequel we originally wanted, but it was a film that we andPixar needed. And boy am I glad it happened.
Monsters University (2013) Review by jonedney124 from United Kingdom
When I first heard about this and saw trailers, I felt like it would beOK, a good laugh but not enough to really challenge other Pixar films.I can safely say that I was wrong on that score, for it manages to notonly be successful prequel to the original film but also a great filmin its own right. Billy Crystal and John Goodman slip effortlessly backinto their roles as Mike Wazowski and Sully despite playing youngerversions of themselves. The other main highlight of the voice cast isHelen Mirren's intimidating Dean Hardscrabble, who is a menacingpresence and I'm sure the design of her character was modelled onMaleficent from Sleeping Beauty. Steve Buscemi's Randall also returnsand although I felt that he would have a stronger part in the movie,the seeds are sown for his villainous ways in the original.
What astounded me was the creativity throughout the film, the effortthat had gone into the university environment and the monsters thatinhabited it (there's one monster who has university down pat in ahilarious moment that all students will understand!). The newcharacters that become Mike and Sully's friends, the Oozma Kappa gang,are all adorable and memorable, providing a lot of the film's humour aswell as one of its most touching moments towards the end. The film isconsistently hilarious but also remembers that it has to develop theinitial rivalry then friendship of Mike and Sulley. The world set up inthe original is also included more than I thought it would (a couple oftrips to Monsters Inc. itself) and there are some brilliant cameos fromtwo memorable characters from Inc.
Although the friend I was watching it with said that the film was lowstakes, as you knew how it would end, I found that the film stillmanaged to feel fresh despite dealing with underdog clichés and theproblem of being a prequel. In a Q and A after the preview screening,the director and producer said that this was about when your dreamsdon't come true: a strangely anti-Disney philosophy in many ways butone that is honest and teaches kids reality about the world of work,none more so than a delightful montage of pictures explaining how Mikeand Sully ended up in their respective positions in Inc. I haven't seenCars 2 (not sure I want to) and although I enjoyed Brave, it isdefinitely lesser Pixar fare whereas Monsters University sees them backat the top, creating a touching and hilarious story that will hopefullysee them get back to dishing out the quality every time.
I am a bit confused as to some of the critical reviews, and why thisfilm currently has 75% on Rotten Tomatoes is beyond me. I sincerelyhope this will go up, because it should be nearer 90. I watched FindingNemo in 3D in April and although Nemo isn't my favourite Pixar, MU iseasily as good as that. One critic argues that this film is too similarto The Internship...well that's the Internship's problem, as this filmwill have been longer in the making undoubtedly and judging from IMDbscore doesn't seem to have anywhere near the same creativity andimagination behind it. This may not scale the heights of the Toy Storytrilogy but it most certainly is not forgettable and the fact that Inearly shed a tear at one point (and it was NOT for the main twocharacters funnily enough) proves that the film gives more than just'how did Sulley and Mike become friends'. If everyone keeps expectingPixar to produce a Toy Story every time and if they leave a film havingnot experienced that and express their disappointment/outrage as aresult, that's unfair. My favourite Pixars are Toy Story 1-3, MonstersInc and Wall-E (10/10), then Incredibles, Up, Finding Nemo, Bug's Life(9/10) and I would place Monsters University just after A Bug's Lifebut in many ways it's probably better.
9/10 (RT had better follow suit)
