genre: comedy, horror
Somehow, I had very different ideas about this movie. I mean, Frankenstein teaming up with Dracula, a mummy, a lizard-type being, and a werewolf. After finally having seen the movie, I was so wrong about the concept.
The Monster Squad is a reference to the kids in the movie taking it upon themselves to defeat those monsters. If you have to compare this movie to a similar type, then one could mention The Goonies. I love The Goonies, but that really was more meant for kids. While Monster Squad is mostly fun, it is also exciting. The kids are very likeable and for once, the adults in the movie take them seriously as well. Super 8, with all its promises and effects, could not offer what Monster Squad did, although you do have to overlook some of the outdated (and even for then, low-budget) effects. Still, it is part of the charm.
If you get the chance, don't pass it up. You will enjoy it!
