Just watch After Earth as well... ... it an ok movie ..and it seem pretty short .. The effect are great ... but it seem like to me that the film was a show reel for Will Smith son trying to show case that he can act and cry in a movie ... but his charisma is just not there and even Will Smith character is not a good casting.... 6.5/10

Was the Shymalan twist as bad as I am expecting?

Monsters University:

Fun movie, but lacking the imagination that made Monsters, Inc and other Disney Pixar films so amazing. The humor was still good and it wasn't boring at all. The bond formed by Mike and Sullivan will make you feel good (but it won't tug your heart like Sullivan and Boo). Some small details that linked itself to Monsters, Inc was appreciated (like how the rivalry between Randall and Sullivan formed) so that it felt like a sequel instead of a generic college movie using Monsters, Inc characters. I felt the final act (the real reason that Oozma Kappa won and what subsequently happened afterwards) was jarring compared to the rest of the movie. It felt unneeded and cheapened the what the film was trying to achieve. Overall, worth watching.

Yeah, the nods and stuff was nice, but that ending was kind of disappointing for me. Albeit, it was pretty good but like you said, it just didn't feel as Magical for me.

An interesting comment about super hero movies:
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/vid...little-bitches
I totally agree with this guy about a balance being needed. Michael Bay's Transformers films were too much on the opposite end of the spectrum (for the Transformers themselves) -- it was too much about their godlike abilities and what they could do etc., with bugger all about WHO they were and what internally motivated them. It's hard for audiences to really invest in any of the Transformers characters really, rather the films tried to get audiences to invest in the human characters... which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but again - balance. E.T. had audiences emotionally investing in both Elliott and E.T., not just Elliott.
