Critics Consensus

Monster Hunter is mostly a mindless blur of action, held together by the slenderest threads of dialogue and plot -- and exactly what many viewers will be looking for.

It is a series of special effects sequences. Pretty ropey.

It achieves a kind of jokey bombast.

3/5

Despite a muddled final act, Monster Hunter is satisfyingly efficient, a quick-fire thrill-ride of creepy thrills, nasty kills, and of course, monster-hunting.

Paul W.S. Anderson once again takes a CAPCOM franchise and instead of adapting the source material faithfully in any way he just makes sure his wife looks as cool as possible and fills in the rest with light lore and visual nods. I’d avoid this one.

3/5

Monster Hunter ’s story is as simplistic as they come, but for fans of the game and director Paul W.S. Anderson, there’s more than enough exciting action to enjoy.

2.5/5

If nothing else, some people will enjoy it just for the non-stop action and CGI spectacle. But that doesn’t hide the glaring lack of story and character development.

A descent movie for the time we are in. With the covid being less and less, I needed a big studio production. Too many NETFLIX-ish movies holding us until the first big one next week (Godzilla Vs. King Kong). Impossible storyline, but worth it.

Very typical Milla J. Video game movie - very Residents Evil. Still entertaining considering this is the first movie we were able to watch since the covid lockdowns.
