I'm an OG fan and have an extensive Monster High collection, so I am FULLY invested with this fandom.
I adored this movie, full stop. So many little references to past Monster High movies and dolls - so you can tell the writers did their homework. The sets, atmosphere and overall asthetic are creepy cool. Football with an actual foot? Loved it!
All the songs are bops. End of discussion.
Were some characters altered? Yes. But not a full overhaul like some reviews want you to believe. The characters still have their distinctive traits, but with a more modernized/updated feel. They are all portrayed as actual teenagers in the real world, with relatable insecurities and fears.
All the actors/actresses did such an amazing job with their characters, but Frankie was my absolute favourite in the film. I loved their comedic timing and they are just overall so enjoyable to watch.
My one criticism is that there wasn't enough Ghoulia! Maybe in the sequel she'll have more screen time.
Just give this a chance. It's a wonderful movie with TONS of monster heart and doesn't deserve the hate it's getting. Really hope we get a sequel!
