like the little furry guy themselves and this be a movie with a very promising start that end up nowhere fun . axton pick up meek creature and unaware of consequence if simple handling instruction be ignore . end result be a bunch of little monster that terrorize small town . the intro be fine and phoebe cates look spectacular and and some of the initial monster action be amuse . but like too many in the spielberg or lucas action fantasy genre and film be gory and unpleasant and mean spirit when the go get tough . not recommend .
