Would I recommend YOU to pay to see this in the theater? SURE, WHY NOT?!?! IT'S ENTERTAINING....IF....AND ONLY IF YOU SEE IT IN EITHER 3D AND/OR IMAX OR DOLBY. IF YOU SEE IT JUST REGULAR, YOU MAY NOT GET THE FULL EFFECT OR DRIFT ASLEEP....
My Critique On "Monster Hunter" is this - it's a movie that is action-packed; no doubt about that......
Film Synopsis: An elite military force team, (played by Meagan Good, Diego Bonata, Josh Helman, T.I. Harris, and Jin Au-Yeung) led by US Army Ranger Captain Natalie Artemis (played by Milla Jovovich), fall through a portal into a world populated by giant monsters. They meet a hunter (played by Tony Jaa) who helps them try to survive in the world and right against the monsters as they seek a way back home.
Classification of Film: Action, Fantasy, & Adventure
......but there are also movies that can have the "main" element or component of a specific genre and still not be a great Box Office Success and this is one of those films.
I feel that the film had all the movements and action simply to keep the audience/s well-entertained and alert. Keeping it candid with you, the film did not suck, but it was only about two characters and that is The Hunter and the Captain.
As soon as the film comes on, I asked myself that question that I DETEST so very much and that is this: "Why are they showing the ending to the film first?" That is my biggest pet peeve in the film industry when end of the film first and then work their way backwards? What do they get out of that? What is their reasoning or purpose behind that? Do you know? Be cause I have no clue!
All I kept seeing was the Resident Evil movies when I saw Jovovich in this film because I felt like I was watching that with a mixture of Godzilla or something. Don't get me wrong. The movie was good - but it was not great.
When the Hunter and Captain Artemis finally did meet up and he discovered his love for what "chocolate" was and hey began bonding and working together to get her and the rest of her team back home, that is when the comedy started to fall into place within the film.
That was funny to me. It is always funny to me when someone who doesn't know something about another world finally discovers something about and is intrigued and the way that they react over it is just hysterical. Lol!
In conclusion, I will not bash the film like I am seeing other reviews doing because I do not think that it deserves bashing. I feel that it was good, but could have been better and the holes that were not explained should have been explained (not giving spoilers here, but speaking in code here in case YOU do decide to watch the film).
IT WAS NUMBER ONE AT THE BOX OFFICE OPENING WEEKEND, BUT I WOULD NOT RUSH OUT TO SEE IT UNLESS YOU ILL SEE IT IN AN AWESOME FORMAT LIKE DOLBY OR IMAX OR 3D!
