attack of the 50ft e.t. creature on the independence day the earth stood still

I keep struggling to work out how to sort out the CircleLine sketch, so over the weekend I temporarily gave up and went to see Monsters vs Aliens instead. In 3D of course.

The 3D is great, it’s amusing in places and it has the feel of an updated 1950s, but once you get past all of the jokes and references to science fiction films and creature features, there isn’t much left. The character movement is grotesquely exaggerated, but I suppose that’s the point. Roll on Coraline.
