Monsters and Critics is one of the larger independent web-only news and review publications, reaching over two million unique visitors per month.

The website has topics like movie reviews and politics. It allows visitors to comment on news related topics.

It was founded in 2003 by the site editor James Wray and the lead programmer Ulf Stabe, based in Glasgow, UK and Hamburg, Germany respectively.

The comments are not moderated at the point of publishing, but rather moderation is done after they are posted live on the site, on a rolling basis. This allows for a flow of conversation between users.

The group recently added a German language version, with the .de tld and the technology spin-off, The Tech Herald.
