Monster Hunter

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.

What does merit taking seriously is the screen presence of Jovovich -- an action icon easily up there with Keanu Reeves, in some respects her male equivalent.

Monster Hunter is exactly what you think it is going to be, nothing more, and certainly nothing less, and I'm okay with that.

We're left to process a Post-it-sized plot, numbing fight sequences and dialogue along the lines of "My God!" and "Aargh!"

Monster Hunter is so unapologetically itself, it warms your heart.

It's the formless slog you've come to expect from Anderson, and if you're OK with that then Monster Hunter is definitely worth tracking down.

Richard Whittaker
Austin Chronicle
It's not self-aware enough to qualify as camp, or self-satisfied enough to be smug. It simply aims low and delivers, and right now, that's enough.

Adam Graham
Detroit News
Monster Hunter is red meat to any cynical moviegoer of the modern age looking for exhibit A. It's been commodified and globalized to the point of nonidentity.

Hunter Lanier
Film Threat
Anderson stays within his interests as a filmmaker, preferring the creation of eye candy over telling an exciting story.

Brian Orndorf

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. [It] asks you to let every fantastical second wash over you.

The brand makes an ideal canvas for Anderson to unleash carnage.

Battle Royale With Cheese
Looking fabulous and mean and mighty unclean Milla does war with the beasts in a lovely, noisy entertainment that reminds us, when there's so much bleating about the need for strong female leads, that she's been working that side of the street since 2002.

Loud, violent video game adaptation is mostly forgettable.
