Monster Hunt

Overall, 'Monster Hunt' will entice kids and adults alike.

While the narrative is not as brisk and efficient as it should have been, and the dubbing is completely clueless, there's plenty of charm and Confucian depth to keep you beguiled and interested.

There is nothing really monster-like about these well-rendered characters. They're not scary-looking; in fact, they resemble inflated toys. And in terms of emotional quotient, they express the same kind of feelings as the humans do. There is a moral angle here - that about learning how to coexist, acceptance and other good values. This one will keep the kids entertained.

Monster Hunt may rely on a weak script, but nonetheless, it is an entertaining film. The monsters are adorable and will absorb you into their fantasy world. For that alone, it's worth a watch.
