Charlize Theron did an amazing job in the movie. After watching it, I can see why she won Best Actress. She completely transformed herself into the character. I don’t know how someone so gorgeous can put on that kind of weight just for a movie, but she did it.

Monster is based on a true story, and that always adds a little extra to a plot. You’re sitting there watching and whenever she kills another man, you realize, “This actually happened!” I thought the movie was a bit slow during quite a few parts and not all that entertaining, but it was great to watch Theron work her magic. A good story put to film.

I give the movie a B.
