There are monsters, there are explosions and there is Ron Perlman with beautifully feathered hair. This is a film that is all about spectacle. There is no need to ask questions or wonder about certain aspects of the plot: This is another dimension populated with monsters, that’s all you need to know. Monster Hunter asks you to let every fantastical second wash over you.
Action sequences are choreographed and edited with a degree of tight conceptual and spatial coherency that puts nearly any Marvel movie to shame, whether close-quarters scuffles or epic woman-on-kaiju confrontations.

The movie is very well crafted in a way that it is easy to understand for someone who has never played this game "Monster Hunter" before. The movie does a phenomenal job at representing the game, Monster Hunter, and maintains the mood and suspense throughout the movie. The movie provides a newer experience for the game’s fanbase and introduces the world to the game in an innovative way. Whether critics give this movie a ruthless or a wholesome review, it has shaped the industry in plenty of ways. Going from a game can be difficult but the director does a phenomenal job at crafting this movie in a suspenseful and thrilling manner. I think this movie is one of those movies everyone should watch at least once for Milla Jovovich’s terrific acting performance. Her acting is spot on throughout the film and the plot makes you feel as if you are inside the game. The sequel to this movie is something I personally look forward to and you would too if you watch the movie.

If you’re already a fan of the game – and want to see Jovovich at her baddie-squashing best, then you’re in for a treat. And a little brainless escapism never hurt the rest of us either.
It's all peak Anderson, which sadly also means his inability to put a story together.
A few flashes of amused chemistry between the two actors represent all the human interest in this unimaginative sci-fi actioner, but that doesn't mean the pic's relentless focus on giant-monster battles won't please the director's fans.
For roughly two-thirds of its running time, the big-screen video game adaptation Monster Hunter feels like an attempt to answer a question no one has asked: What would the “Jurassic Park” movies be like if they were drained of all sense of wonder? The film rallies toward the end with a few genuinely spectacular images, but even its best scenes fail to justify a tedious first hour.
Series fans will feel cheated by such a chintzy and incurious take on something they love, while the rest of us will be left wondering how the source material earned itself any fans in the first place.
Well it could have been worse. Paul WS Anderson is still the best Anderson even when he misses the mark and Milla is charming as always.
Report
Whether it's game enthusiasts or fans of monster genres, after watching this poorly made and low-quality university graduation project, they are likely to feel deeply disappointed and may even question whether Paul W.S. Anderson has ever actually played the game himself.

Kein Film für mich. Total überdreht und unlogisch aus meiner sicht.. habe ihn nicht einmal zuende gesehen daher ich es nach 40 minuten immernoch als schlecht empfand.
