Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting It retreads familiar themes from high school musicals that came before, but the spooky twist adds a fun layer that could make an excellent gateway for a budding monster kid. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 24, 2022 Full Review Heather Hogan Autostraddle Between all the magic and mayhem and singing and dancing and general spooky revelry in Monster High, there’s all kinds of good lessons about accepting ourselves and each other, exactly as we are. Oct 10, 2022 Full Review Kristen Maldonado Pop Culture Planet [A] mix of Disney’s Zombies franchise meets Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. While the story is a bit forced and cheesy at times, the catchy musical numbers are genuinely good and where the film really shines. Oct 16, 2022 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media In the vein of Disney's popular Zombies films, Monster High: The Movie lets characters work out typical teen angst and identity issues under the guise of fantasy figures from the monster world. Rated: 3/5 Oct 12, 2022 Full Review John Serba Decider A shallow swamp content to slosh around in basic ideas about self-acceptance, diversity, and accepting others’ different beliefs without ever being particularly substantive. Oct 7, 2022 Full Review Tessa Smith Mama's Geeky Catchy songs and fun dance numbers make this musical something the whole family can enjoy. A great way to teach kids about inclusion and acceptance. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Emily H I would like to say its HORRIBLE but also since its monster high i dont know what to say. First cast isnt the greatest yes they are good actors but the characters design is BAD instead of re-making the original monster high thcharacters they could have created a new generation or the monster high "kids" or just kept the ORIGINAL characters Secondly why is cleo and deuce over? They are literally the best couple in monster high and have many moments dedicated for each other but you decided to put clawbeen who has NO interest in dating and let her date deuce cuz why? There is no reason to change the WHOLE story if you are gonna change the WHOLE story might as well change ALL the characters. Thirdly i dont mind the new design but i do mind the new personalities. Bring back their old personalities and a bit of their old designs too. Too much has changed. Four. The effects are bad. Characters designs bad. Clawbeen aint a slay like before and bring back to original please. As a fan of the G1 monster high bring back the old monster high. I personally dont mind the body types but i do mind the story line about everything. Music isnt bad and the dancing is something. But all i care about and from the reviews on tiktok. We clearly enjoyed the old version more. This was disappointing but for respect. 1.5 stars. Cuz at the end of the day the company of monster high still keeps the G1 dolls alive Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Cristian s Desde el desconocimiento absoluto al fandom que representa tengo que decir que me gusto bastante. Buen ritmo, historia simple pero entretenida, colorida, pocas canciones para ser un musical pero pegadizas. La estética me parece que estuvo genial, conozco de vista a los personajes nomas pero cumplio para ser una película modesta. Esperaba algo liviano y divertido que me haga pasar un buen rato, es exactamente lo que obtuve. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review Go W Uma obra do século XXI. Em seu ambiente horripilante o roteiro nos leva por reviravoltas regadas por músicas que nos ajuda a contar a história com coreografias muito boas. Uma aventura que nos mostra que podemos ser quem somos. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Aurora B I love watching these movies I hope they continue making these.... I'm currently wondering what happens after 3 and 4 like does clawdeen, Frankie and draclaura go t college and does clawdeen, and duce continue their relationship???? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Alice W It was horrid. Not at ALL true to the original storyline. I grew up watching all the monster high movies and this was nothing like any of those movies. I would never let my children watch such a bad movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Mada S I'd see the first and second movie 6 in a row, and I'd have to say wow these movies are so good . And I'd really enjoyed seeing the dance choreography rewatching them the cast and crew did such a incredible job with these two films. Brovo 👏 These films are awesome.
