** A common critique of the movie is that while the world it takes place in seems incredibly interesting not much is done to flesh it out beyond wrestling. What kind of accomodations in architecture, transport or education would have to be made in a setting where humans and giant monsters share a planet? What does it cost to care for and train a professional monster athlete? Are there monsters with other jobs than wrestling? All very good questions - that the movie isn't remotely interested in answering.

* SoOkayItsAverage: While critics admitted to liking the general premise and praised the monster designs for being actually creative and fun, many were disappointed by the rather paint-by-numbers plot and the disappointingly flat characters that kept the movie from standing out in any way. General opinion on the film appears to be that it's a fun little flick to watch with your kids, nothing more nothing less.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Stop us if you heard this one before: A quirky underdog nobody believes in except for his trainer works himself up the ranks of [insert sport here] until he finally faces the lauded champion and secures a victory against all odds. Add a rather cookie cutter SavingTheOrphanage motivation and you have... pretty much every underdog sports story ever. Critics were not amused by just how predictable the movie's plot was and cited it as one of the movie's biggest weaknesses.
