Funny, Witty, Entertaining and Well done. There were a few things that they could of done without such as the tattoo dude in his underwear. There are a few instances of innuendo that kids won't get but is funny for the adults. This was really well done for the most part and has a pretty good message of being yourself and using what you enjoy to become great as well as making your own destiny rather than trying to live other's destinies. This does have gambling and the underground in it, it also has tattooing and tattoo removal in it regarding a super-fan in his underwear, so if that's a big deal for you then don't watch. However, this is a good and clean family movie that was well done. It was funny, cute, heartwarming and entertaining. This is wrestling at its finest without the language and other obscenities as with "Real" wrestling. It was a surprise that we all enjoyed.

Movie was enjoyable (Kaiju WWE with a innovative Salsa dancing fight technique), but animation was not top tier, especially with simplistic human designs and animation, and inferior fur :-(. Nevetheless, there were some funny pop references to LeBron/Cleveland and Creed/Rocky, among others :-)

When the movie starts, you see a TV commercial for Monster Wrestling mash-up with beautiful animation and some incredible drawings and artistic style! It's a great introduction.. but it seems like budget and creativity ran out right there.

Almost every line feels "too chatty" and forgettable, at times annoying and excessive. The animation and (human) models feel and look too generic, as if this was made in 2010. The story is too simplistic, and happenings coincidental. The progress rushed and the ending unearned. Personally, I consider this the worse kind of script, the one that feels underwritten with uncharismatic and barely developed characters. Worst of all, for a dance-centric plot, there's basically no music accompanying or elevating the matches. It would have been so easy to try and pump the audience with good sound mixing/editing and tune choices.

As it is, feels like a cheap product with no effort and love put into it.. though I can imagine it might be decent enough to watch with kids.

It's fun. It's not a pixar masterpiece, it's not an emoji movie level disappointment. It's a fun time, it's a well made movie, and it has the creativity behind its monsters to boot. Didn't disappoint for me. Sure, it has some corny moments and some moments that do not make sense, but it's a fun time. Check it out, it could be for you.

I appreciate the fact that it didn't take itself too serious but instead went about it's business of simply entertaining. And it achieved that cos I laughed.

Believe me, I have a high sense of humor. Making me laugh isn't an easy feat.

So for it's efforts, I give it an Eight.
