Monster High Live Action Review

Monster High -The Movie- is a live adaptation of Mattel's Monster High franchise, and was part of the launch of generation 3.  It came out in October of 2022, last year.  Yes, I'm very late to the party.  I kept trying to find it free somewhere, no dice.  I finally bit the bullet and paid for it this month.  One hundred percent worth it tho!  It's got a low budget charm, with singing and dancing, and heavy costume makeup.

The story was super cute, and well written.  The dialogue was punny and punchy and funny and all things I like.   The costumes and makeup looked cheap, but well intentioned.  A teensy bit of 3D modeling was well placed.  The singing and dancing were fantastic.  I love singing and dancing.

This movie introduced the new versions of old Monster High characters, and it did a great job!  Frankie was AMAZING!  I love them so much!  Clawdeen did a good job taking the main character spot.  Draculaura had her own drama but didn't outshine everyone else.  Deuce has a personality!  Deuce was an accessory in g1, and now he's his own character.  Good for him.  Cleo was pretty Mean-Girls-y but I guess it's necessary in these sorts of movies.  I loved this movie and can't wait for the sequel!
