Love and Monsters

- Zokkiie29. Januar 2026A surprisingly sweet and exciting ride that’s way better than you might expect. The monsters look great, the world feels creative, and Dylan O’Brien carries the movie with a lot of charm and heart. It balances humor, action, and romance really well, and it’s easy to get invested in the journey. It’s not trying to be super serious — it just wants to be fun, and it totally succeeds
- Nathaniel “KingBear” Reifenheiser4. Oktober 2025Wait, wait, wait. You’re telling me Love and Monsters scored higher on Rotten Tomatoes than on IMDb? I trusted you, IMDb. And Letterboxd has this sitting at a 3.2?! Absolutely criminal. This movie deserved better. It got dumped into 2020, when everyone was locked inside and the world felt like an apocalypse already — worst release timing possible. Dylan O’Brien plays the most relatable post-apocalyptic hero: scared, weak, hiding from everything… until he decides he’s done being afraid and crosses monster country to find his childhood sweetheart. Along the way, he finds a dog. And that alone should have earned it a sequel. The acting? On point. The story? Heartfelt and adventurous. The visuals? Gorgeous. This isn’t just another monster movie — it’s an underrated gem that deserved more love.
- Hakihiko16. Dezember 2024A Fun Post-Apocalyptic Adventure "Love and Monsters" is an enjoyable post-apocalyptic adventure with a fun mix of action, humor, and emotion. The film strikes a decent balance between lighthearted entertainment and deeper themes of survival and personal growth. Dylan O'Brien delivers a charming performance as Joel, a hapless yet relatable protagonist who evolves from a scared, inexperienced survivor to someone who takes charge of his destiny. The supporting cast, including Jessica Henwick as Aimee and Michael Rooker as Clyde, adds layers of personality to the story, making Joel's journey more engaging. The inclusion of Boy, the dog, is an adorable highlight and provides plenty of emotional beats. Visually, the film impresses with creative and well-designed monsters, blending CGI and practical effects effectively. The vibrant post-apocalyptic world feels alive and uniquely imagined, a refreshing take in a genre that often leans toward bleakness. However, the plot is relatively straightforward and doesn't offer many surprises, with some character arcs feeling a bit underdeveloped. The movie's tone, while fun, sometimes struggles to fully explore the emotional weight of its premise. Overall, "Love and Monsters" is a solid, entertaining watch with enough heart and creativity to make it memorable, though it doesn't quite reach the heights of genre classics.
