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. Read full review

There’s something truly electric about the pure, visual storytelling of Monster Hunter. Read full review

There’s a couple badass heroes with humongous swords, a few big scaly monstrosities, and frequently not much else. The minimalism is consistent with Anderson’s career-long devotion to delivering caloric content with an unlikely combo of classical unities and pounding, insta-dated electronic beats. The movie’s called Monster Hunter—what more could it reasonably need? Read full review

Paul W.S. Anderson has simply combined the established iconography of the popular Capcom game franchise with prefab movie moments. Read full review

You can’t make a movie called Monster Hunter that’s boring to look at it, and this is one of Anderson's flattest films in every way. Read full review

Monster Hunter runs just over an hour and a half but feels about twice that long thanks to its listless, meandering plot devoid of a central focus or any meaningful world-building. Read full review

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. Read full review
