MONSTER HUNTER

This makes RE look like a masterpiece. These China funded movies are usually all shockingly bad.

I'll watch it later, but I bet it still won't be as bad as 2012

Guess again. At least 2012 had an end. I've seen some shocking sequel baiting in my time but this just left me speechless.

Very much a popcorn movie. Enjoyed the special effects but the ending was like what ???

Spoiler

also all they had to do to protect Earth was get the glowing stones from Earth and bring them back to the other world. Job done no more gateway.

Was it funded by the Chinese? I cant find anything related to that.

Anyway, never played any of the games but the movie was similar to the RE movie recipe. Take a game IP, take little bits of the premise of the game, add in movie action, big monsters and explosions, Mila Jovovitch and Paul WS Anderson, a poor script and bake for 30 mins..

It was stupid but a bit of brain out fun. I didnt even realise it was Tony Jaa until about half way through.

I LIKED THIS FILM! Aside from the usual Tony Jaa bouncing around like a man on viagra antics, the monsters themselves looked superb thanks to TOHO and I actually enjoyed the film having never played any of the games. With Atmos sound, things went up a notch especially during the early scenes and I just enjoyed the popcorn romp throughout. There is just one wtf moment for me and that involved a cook of sorts.
