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.
Featured reviews
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..

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!
As a dork who loves silly fantasy-high school musicals, this this was a fun way to veg out at the end of a long day! The songs were catchy, and you could tell the actors were having fun with their roles.
I will note I know nothing about this franchise and just happened to come across the movie on the hotel's tv. Not sure what fans of Monster High universe will think, but as a total newbie the characters were fun, especially Frankie. Loved seeing the inclusion of non/binary characters too.
Recommend for a fun, Halloween movie for those who love the spooky season but can't handle actually horror/terror movies.

In this adaptation that seems more like a parody of the original series both cgi and cartoon, we get a whole new universe where one of the popular characters, Clawdeen is a half human breed completely ruining the storyline to Frankie's Boyfriend Shriek. Not only does Clawdeen not have Draculaura's cousin Thad as a boyfriend but she seems to be a love interest for Deuce the Gorgan, the boyfriend to Cleo however he has became an ex-boyfriend in this film. Not only are Clawdeen's siblings missing but also several other characters. Each personality is different and the fact that Clawdeen was originally an Afro-Latina, Draculaura a Transylvanian, or Lagoona an Australian. This also sets up a different dynamic in the school.
This is pretty fine musical and school story with a teense bit heroic student friends. Not too much as origin but not that far from it.
Characters are very similar, good choice here.
The only but critical minus is origin Clawdeen - why oh why she is half human here?? She is not! Hyde was half human! Wanted concept about humamonstafobia and solving it in one heroic jest - go with the origin person who you can work with! But no. And why no is the reason this movie fails the own choosing concept and fail itself big time. Sorry I want rate it higher for every else good stuff in movie but that only fail ruined it for good.

- 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.
