As a person who has seen Superman: The Arctic Giant, but not this film, I can say TAG is a good short that certainly does live up to your title a bit, though I can't make the call on whether it fits the title more than this film.

I watched this movie during a plane flight. I didn't really enjoy it. The characters bored me and there wasn't much of a story.

What a disappointment
This is arguably one of the most disappointing films I've ever laid witness to.
Monsters Vs. Aliens. A Sci-Fi comedy that pays homage to the monster movies of the 1950s. That alone on paper sounds like such an awesome idea. Think of the untapped potential in that concept alone.
I was psyched. Think of the possibilities!
Then the cheesy trailers and concept/promotional art came out.
Oh my god humanity you did it again, you screwed up the 'un-screw-up-able'. Forget the story and half-arsed comedy routine/lame puns for now. I honestly don't care about that. Let's just focus our attention on the look and feel of the character designs... its like DreamWorks didn't even care. The humans, the monsters, the aliens, they all look aesthetically-speaking, goofy at best, and hideously ugly at worse.
I cannot comprehend how you could fudge this up. You have an entire world of Kaiju and giant monsters to draw inspiration from guys. Toho of Japan has practically done your research and homework for you! Yet you go out of your way to be "original" and come up with some pretty ludicrous designs. This astounds me...
Insectosaurus is your idea of... your fictional-universe equivalent/expy of... Godzilla? You people ARE HIGH if you sincerely think that abomination of 'derpiness' is an intimidating, awe-inspiring, marketable monster creature. And its not even cute! I can understand if you were going for the 'ugly-cute appeal'. But look at your own work - your efforts clearly fall flat of that expectation.
How can I get invested or immersed in your work if you clearly weren't?
You know what's really sad? Look up "Superman: The Arctic Giant". Go on. Look it up. That was created back in 1942. Superman's adventures defeating a Godzilla-like monster that terrorizes the city. That ancient cartoon has more dignity, is far more faithful to the title of this film "Monsters (Artic Giant) Vs. Aliens." (Superman), than Dream Work's entire $175 million production made in 2009.
One can only hope that "Godzilla: All Monsters Attack!" will someday get the green light. If there's any semblance of justice in this world, of course: http://tomkrohne.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/godzilla-all-monsters-attack-cartoon.html
