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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 15, 2023

A soulless and apathetic product. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 18, 2022

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2022

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022

There are entertaining stretches here, but they compete with repetitive and often predictable ones.

| Original Score: 4/10 | May 17, 2022

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

| Jun 23, 2021

It's a shame, because Monster Hunter could have at least been a fun, dumb action movie, but what we're left with is a messy and uninteresting flick that's too afraid to go full camp and have fun with itself.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 22, 2021

It achieves a kind of jokey bombast.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 18, 2021

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 17, 2021

Monster Hunter [is] vapid, empty spectacle that sands down any potential geopolitical commentary.

| Jun 5, 2021

A spectacle with no life. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 17, 2021

There is an entertaining, lean action-adventure at the heart of Anderson's film, but either indecision over purpose or studio interference has compromised that vision with unnecessary and extraneous elements at either end.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 2, 2021

Shockingly fun and self-aware, Monster Hunter is a goddamn blast.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 20, 2021

Monster Hunter relies to heavily on Jovovich's screen charm but fails to develop a cohesive universe in which to build an engaging story. It takes itself too seriously to even enjoy it campiness and it is too campy to be considered a serious film.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 8, 2021

The script is bland, the premise seems too unbelievable, and the action scenes are too long.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 29, 2021

We must critique Monster Hunter for what it is, a filmic exercise with abundances and deficiencies. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 24, 2021

It is a relic of sorts, where the guts and action, unrefined and tawdry as they are, are at least based on a genuine creative impulse rather than a fake injection of meaning or purpose either in the form of symbolic social lectures or furthering an IP.

| Mar 17, 2021

Even if [Paul W.S] Anderson meant to approach "Monster Hunter" as a check-your-brain-at-the-door B-movie style, it lacks that much-needed sustainable sense of mindless fun to last until the end.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 10, 2021

The film's overall visual aesthetic is a confused and derivative hodgepodge, and audience enjoyment will depend upon their affection for the over-saturated genre.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 22, 2021

Too bland to be entertaining in a mindless, ridiculous way, and just meandering and monotonous in general.
