    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Monster High: The Movie' elicits mixed reactions. Original series fans are disappointed by character, personality, and storyline changes. Critics point to subpar costumes, makeup, and special effects. Conversely, some viewers commend catchy songs, positive messages about acceptance and self-identity, and diverse representation. Acting and choreography receive praise, yet the plot is deemed predictable and generic. The reboot sparks divided opinions, with some appreciating the fresh approach and others mourning the loss of the original Monster High essence.

    BAD

    Watching this was PAINFUL! They changed the characters so you can almost not even recognize them. They made draculaura mean. In the original she was sweet. Clawdeen is apparently the main character when Frankenstein is supposed to be. They didint even try to make the costume look right. I seem so many cosplays on monster high character. And you think that a full on movie can do better than a teenager but NO. It's not enough that they made Cleo and Deuce break up, they also made Deuce look like jughead from riverdale. This is not a spoiler cuz it's revealed very early in the show, CLAWDEEN IS NOT SUPPOSED TO DATE DUECE. The whole original gang Is not even together. If their planning on making another movie (which I know they are) please make it better or you can traumatize children with bad CGI.

    And tbh I didint even a watch the whole thing, stopped at about halfway cuz I couldn't take it. I heard that it was bad but didint think this bad. If you are a parent thinking of watching this with your kid fine do it. But from someone who has watches every monster high movie on replay, I don't recommend for any monster high lover to watch this if you don't want to watch the movie with a disgusted look. Maybe this sound harsh but only my opinion.

    What?!

    As a extreme fan of monster high, for years I've watched all the movies and the series they had- I put on this film in hopes of a good recreation only to see a absl bombsite of a film. The characters bare no resemblance at all to the original characters, their personalities anrent even similar in the slightest, and their style? It's absolutely atrocious.

    I am disgusted and disappointed. Literally just scroll on TikTok and you will see better recreations than this FUNDED movie. If you think that I am sitting through over a hour of this monstrosity (No pun intended as this film doesn't deserve to even be joked about) then you are deluded.

    So so so incredibly disappointing if you know anything about the ORIGINAL monster high. If I could give it a zero and get it removed off every platform, I would.

    Monster high is a line of fashion dolls- why do they look like production gave them 50$ spirit halloween gift cards and they went to town??

    Boring plot, bad one liners, acting was less than sublime and full of plot holes.

    The songs.. THE SONGS- every scene change had a song. I had to genuinely skip through the songs.

    The whole movie was basically:

    Person a: i dont fit in!

    Person b: me too let me explain this in a song

    I honestly really had high hopes for this movie, but now i realize that Monster High was just a cash grab from a big company trying to profit off of an older generations nostalgia.

    Ironically, the movie just looked really cheap?

    This movie will likely follow me into my nightmares. Might be good for a horror movie marathon I suppose, but other than that a 1/10. Happy halloween..

    it was like kinda not great

    The outfits were not serving they were not giving what needed to be gave, frankies coral lipstick was horrific. Frankies outfit is one of the most atrocious character costumes ever, why is there a belt coming over their shoulder what was the point of the neon yellow belt chain what was the thought process everything about it is horrible, why are they blue, what the actual hell was going through the designers head, they mustve just picked random items off of shein and shoved them together into a horrible mess of an outfit beacuse what the hell was that. Did not serve, 0/10. They did not give the yassing.

    Freaky is No Longer Fabulous

    Whilst this movie in a technical sense isn't terrible, The newest revival to the monster high franchise has tarnished the legacy.

    My biggest gripe with the movie is the characters. As a Monster High fan since 2010, it's hard to let go of the childhood nostalgia. They of course needed to freshen up there outfits, hobbies and overall aesthetic to fit modern trends. However watching Big Bad Clawdeen Wolf in purple sneakers and awkward mom length skirts made me turn off this movie before even hitting play. Clawdeen was known for her leopard print fits and heels up to the heavens. Realistic for a 15 year old? No but no one is watching this for realism but rather an escape.

    Frankie being non-binary is an amazing edition to the series, but could've been more streamlined to be more visually appealing. Non-binary people such as Cara Delevingne or Miley Cyrus could've been used as a guideline for a modern ,cool FASHIONABLE character.

    Draculaura visually was one of the better characters, but her cold, not warm personality was a far cry from her previous self.

    With a character overall and higher budget, this movie could've been tolerable. Monster High didn't need a live action movie. Instead of a clean slate, Mattel needed to just scratch off the rust of an amazing franchise they already had.

    • Trivia
      This movie is set in an alternate universe from the original series and features many changes to the original Monster High characters. In the original series, Deuce was dating Cleo instead of Clawdeen (although this film states several times that he broke up with Cleo), Lagoona was Australian with blue skin instead of Latina with pink skin, Ghoulia spoke in moans instead of speaking normally, and some of the characters had distinctive accents (like Draculaura's Romanian accent, Clawdeen's New York accent, and Abbey's Russian accent) which were changed to normal American accents for the reboot.
