Critics Consensus

Despite flashes of inspiration, the singularly high-concept Monster Trucks shows that it takes more than monsters and trucks to create a compelling feature film.

I just can't wrapp my head around having this adorable monster baby be stuck in a truck, so initially, l could not get into this movie as it made me cringe every time I saw the monster baby being used as an engine for a car. It just seems so crazy! However, as the movie progressed, I began to look pass that and enjoy the movie. I gave this movie 4 1/2 stars because it is a family friendly movie, has a good hearted theme and wonderful ending. Because I am not a monster truck person, so maybe that is why I initially had an adverse reaction to this movie. Overall, it is an enjoyable and inspiring adventure movie.

Austin Chronicle

At times, Monster Trucks faintly echoes E.T., but it has all the grace of a jacked-up Ford F-150 with a four-link suspension and tractor tires crushing a row of cars by steamrolling atop them.

Rated: 1.5/5

Audiences could do (and have done) a lot worse than this genial throwback to a time when Kurt Russell was Disney's #1 living, breathing attraction.

These elements are all well and good, but if you're above the age of 12, it becomes considerably harder to reconcile the sporadic tone-deafness.

A by-the-numbers family friendly picture which is so harmless that it ends up being quite charming.

It doesn't have any kind of poisonous message, and it doesn't contain anything that might be seen as offensive or derogatory. It just doesn't have much of anything else either.
