Gajah Watch: Space Chimps & Meet Dave...

Space Chimps:

Going into this film, my expectations were not very high, and I got it right. The animation was ok, nothing special, not as good as Monsters, Inc or even Finding Nemo, but the movie was enjoyable. It has it moments, like the scientists to the Beverly Hills Cop theme. That was freaking hilarious. The show would have been better if the indian scientists had more screen time. Other than the chimp punts, the storyline was ok, the plot was slightly predictible but the characters were cute and lovelable.

Meet Dave:

Eddie Murphy. Need I say more? This time he really saved the show. If it was some other average comedian, this movie would have been worse than Blair Witch Project 1 and 2 combine. Meet Dave has a very bad plot. The storyline is slightly confusing and random. Its like they are trying to take you in one direction but then totally shifts to another course. I mean, some may argue that its the twist in the show and yes, maybe that is what the writers were thinking when creating the movie, but I think they are trying to add too much elements to the story instead of focusing on good parts. Quantity was what they were trying to achieve not quality, but with Eddie Murphy, at least, there are some memorable laughs.
