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.

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..

Monster High Rocks!
I've loved Monster High since its inception in 2010. The books, the cartoons, and the dolls are incredible! This movie was fun with cool songs, great cast, and spooky situations. Frankie Stein has always been my favorite character and the fact they are non-binary is beautiful. It's all about being yourself, no matter what! Clawdeen Wolf is front and center this time around, while making new friends and embracing her true self. It's such a positive film that delivers love, acceptance, songs, dance, and the perfect amount of creepiness. The entire cast made this movie better than expected. I will watch it again and again. It's one of my favorite movies of the year!
Spooky and fang-tastic! Review from an OG fan
I'm an OG fan and have an extensive Monster High collection, so I am FULLY invested with this fandom.
I adored this movie, full stop. So many little references to past Monster High movies and dolls - so you can tell the writers did their homework. The sets, atmosphere and overall asthetic are creepy cool. Football with an actual foot? Loved it!
All the songs are bops. End of discussion.
Were some characters altered? Yes. But not a full overhaul like some reviews want you to believe. The characters still have their distinctive traits, but with a more modernized/updated feel. They are all portrayed as actual teenagers in the real world, with relatable insecurities and fears.
All the actors/actresses did such an amazing job with their characters, but Frankie was my absolute favourite in the film. I loved their comedic timing and they are just overall so enjoyable to watch.
My one criticism is that there wasn't enough Ghoulia! Maybe in the sequel she'll have more screen time.
Just give this a chance. It's a wonderful movie with TONS of monster heart and doesn't deserve the hate it's getting. Really hope we get a sequel!

Bring back the OG PLEASE
It is SO BAD, I wanna give you a zero, but that's not possible, so I give you a one.
This has literally ruined my whole childhood, I don't even want to call it a movie. It's a hellish nightmare that ruins the true Monster High.
The songs are very grindy and aren't good. Compared to Boo York, this was more like letting your drunk uncle on the karaoke machine.
The character's are not true to their original selves and it is TRIGGERING. Draculaura is not her usual fun personality and she is also missing her iconic accent. Abbie has no accent either! Lagoona is no longer an Aussie! Frankie looks 50 years old not like a teenager. CLEO AND DEUCE AREN'T TOGETHER.
I JUST HATE IT.
I want the original MH back and would honestly sell my organs for it.

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.

- TriviaThis 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.
