Took my daughter to see this last night. It wasn't as bad as the reviews were making it out to be. The action was pretty good and the fight scenes were well choreographed. Overall the story itself was ok. Nothing special but entertaining. My main issue was with the way it ended. You will need to stay for the credits because they literally just ended the movie after a battle. Even with the bit shown during the credits, it's like they didn't know how to finish the movie. You can tell that they are trying to shoehorn a 2nd movie. Their fix to ensure this is set up was to basically put up a "To be continued" sign at the end. It's not an actual sign but I hope you get what I'm saying.

Overall if you're feeling trapped in your house and you want to get out and enjoy a movie I'd go see it. We had a fun afternoon munching on popcorn and watching some monster action on the big screen.

Ok where to start?
The CGI was impressive with some quite cool looking slow-mo shots. I suppose the choreography is good too. Oh, and there’s a few witty and amusing jokes and one liners.
However, not one character is overly likeable. There is no character background, there is no character development, and to be frank, there is no character at all.
All in all, it’s watchable. I’ve seen many worse movies. If you’re in the mood for mindless action and want your finger to be continually on the volume button turning it down for loud monsters and up for muttered dialogue, then this is the movie for you.

I enjoyed it, but don’t go in with high expectations.

This movie offers a unique experience. It gives you one of the most genuine and undoctored glimpses into the soilless eyes of corporate Hollywood


There is no love for making movies
There is no love for the source material
The only interest is making something with the specific goal of being a "Blockbuster".
There is nothing to it but the intent of making money.

There's legit nothing to this movie.
Every shot you see is made just for cool trailer moments....
The Characters have no life or personality to them, They don't make any emotional connection with the any viewer I feel.
The acting........
There's no real plot or pacing
The effects can be good at times but its far and few in-between
The fighting and action scenes are rendered useless with the unprecedented amount of jump cuts done in editing....


I enjoy movies that might have glaring flaws, or even be considered bad, I'm not a heartless critic... But there are no redeemable qualities about this movie.
You can't even spin it as a "So Bad It's Good" movie, its just that incompetent on every imaginable level.

0/10 - Genuinely

As expected the movie has lots of CGI which is ok but the story is lame. I just watched it for the sake of Milla. One more thing, I hate the music. Unfortunately, just a timekiller movie.

I was gonna give it a 4 but I fell asleep and missed 50 minutes so ppphhhfffrrrttt

i didn't pass 10mins to know how fucked the movie is.

This movie is shockingly bad considering the special effects are great and it has good actors.
The writing is childlike and pacing is terrible. None of the characters have any depth or behave even remotely believably.

Mindless, meaningless fun, with a truck load of CGI and very little story. I enjoyed it, but I know it is really rubbish

Watching a PWSA movie is like eating an extremely salty popcorn. It does taste like popcorn, but the intense flavor ends up being unpleasant. The director gives what he thinks is expected, and don't expect characters development. Non-stop action edited as if it were a two hours trailer, one second per shot. A mix between "Mad Max" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", better in the scenes with Milla Jovovich and Tony Jaa. Diablo!

Monster Hunter was actually a pleasant surprise to me. I shouldn't really be surprised, as I usually like whatever Paul W. S. Anderson puts out, but this one kind of flew under the radar. To be honest...I didn't know anything about it apart from that Milla was in it.

The action is good, the monsters look great, the acting is surprisingly good for the material they had to work with because...well...what Monster Hunter lacks is a decent story. Don't get me wrong...what little there is, works fine as a way to drive things forward.

Monster Hunter is no instant classic, but I enjoyed it. That may be my love for monster movies talking, but I think this one has something to offer to most people that likes action as well.

Now I just need to get into the Monster Hunter games I bought, but never ended up playing...

Unwatchable! Half an hour and take it out, I can't take this crap anymore Anderson and Jovovich, killing another video game franchise.

God, this movie is hideous. I can't put that in words.

Turned it off after 45 minutes. Biggest pile of trash I've seen in a long long time! Bleh!

Could've been better, could've been worse. Open ending for a sequel is useless as I don't know whou would spend the money for it :) It's that type of the movie you watch and forget. Week or two later you really don't remember anything. There is no special moment, nothing. If you like Milla and monsters you will probably like it but not more than 5 stars out of ten.

I had no interest in the story line. Just not my kind of movie, So i thought. Now I love the Resident Evils, I'm a complete zombie buff, but monsters!!?!. The cast is up there,. Mostly Milla Jovovich & Tony Jaa battle the big ass dragon/monsters & unbelievable massive spider creatures with the help of Ron Perlman (SOA). The effects are excellent & yes the storyline is believable, I totally recommend you giv'er a watch. I definitely was entertained. Wouldn't mind a part 2 even!!

This is a terrible movie. Weak sauce!:no_good_tone4:

Exactly what you would expect from a movie adaptation of a game.

Couple of OK predictable jump-scares, decent effects, Milla in her type-cast role.

Ron was maybe the most interesting character, features for a total of 4 scenes, max, total screen-time maybe < 30s.

What the hell was that sequel bait ending
Why didnt they show the full gore magala fight
So bad

OH. MY. GOD!!! WHAT A LAME ENDING. Almost 2 hours wasted just to get in a conclusion that there will be a sequel to this left-to-desire so-called movie because, come on, it can't end like that!!!

Definitely loved the cat lmao but that's about it.

Depending on your expectations you'll either be disappointed or highly entertained. It works both ways.
Me, I was looking to pass a couple of hours time and it works just fine at that. There is practically no plot to speak of. It's monsters, shooting, fire, a bit of dialogue but mostly just some form of action. It looks pretty good, though.
As a one-off I can live with that but this seems to be an attempt to establish a franchise. I think I can do without.
Somewhere between a "5" and a "6" but I go with the "5" because the "6" would ultimately be just for the CGI.

Good visuals, generic plot. Why's there only a single Palico in the entire movie!:expressionless:

Half way through and it feels humiliating to continue watching.

It was a very fun experience...
One Part Kaiju
One Part Video Game fan service
And One Part “how much abuse can Milla Jovovich take?”
