Spoiler alert here and now although let's be fair, even if you haven't seen, you should care that much.

So I just wanna talk about this and get somethings out about it all.
I went in with low expectations because if you don't expect much, you can't be disappointed. Sadly, it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was at the start and that's why it was worse than I expected.
This movie could really have benefited from an R rating but that would never happen. There were people impaled on horns and heads crushed by monsters, yet there wasn't a single drop of blood. Sure, there'd be red stains on clothes from wounds but when it came down to it, there wasn't any real gore. On top of that, it played out like a horror movie for the first 30-40 minutes and that's just... I mean, for a movie adaptation, a different genre could be good and do its own thing instead of trying to do an inferior copy of the game, but after these 30-40 minutes, it reverts back to what the games follow so... it was completely pointless and dumb.

The two worlds thing, I think the movie took the whole, 'New World' from Monster Hunter World a little too literally and I'm not sure if that was a stupid creative idea or they literally didn't understand cuz they had no idea what the games were about.
The monsters though, they looked pretty good... from afar. But once you got closer to them, their CGI effects stood out so badly to the background, it looked like the quality of a B grade horror movie... which for 30-40 minutes, it technically was.
There was a hunter from the start that got knocked overboard and eventually teams up with Milla Jovovich's Artemis, I don't know if he had a name because the movie was so bad I couldn't really care to listen or pay attention to the dialouge. Yes I'm aware that in the world of Monster Hunter, they don't speak english so I'm ok with them not speaking english, but for fucks sake, throw in some sub titles. There were characters talking to each other in their language and you couldn't understand any of it because there wasn't even any context clues.
So anyway, let's just call this hunter, Hunter as that's what they decided on calling each other, Hunter and Artemis was Ranger.

So Hunter saw Ranger and her team driving across the sand and tried to warn them about the Diablos. They open fired on him because you know, American's are trigger happy and to be fair, he did send a threatening red chalk way over their heads.
So they get attacked by the Diablos and as they try to retreat, he tries to help from afar, having a never ending supply of explosive arrows apparently.
Then the team get attacked by Nerscylla and while they run, he tries to fight them off with more explosive arrows to give them a chance to escape before having to retreat himself.
Some cliche horror movie tropes later, some obvious Alien rip off scenes and Ranger survives and starts wandering around, looking for a way home.
While exploring a shipwreck, Hunter attacks her, ties her hands together and takes her back to his little camp.
Why? Who the fuck knows.
She cuts herself loose, attacks him and ties him up.
The two fight again, they fall, Hunter falls into the Nerscylla nest but Ranger pulls him out and they stop fighting.
Yeah, that's the dumbest shit, so far. Not to mention they bond over chocolate.
I don't know if Americans have only ever really had Hershey's chocolate, but that shit is disgusting and it would not bring two enemies together.

So blah blah, stuff happens before they run into Hunter's party where Ron Perlman plays Admiral.
Now although I agree he was probably the best choice for the part. The costume is done so badly, instead of the very tall and extremely strong Admiral he's meant to be, he looks like a short, fat, old man. He's not even taller than Ranger. I actually had a little hope for him being in this movie but it was quickly dashed.

Skip straight to the end, and I don't mean I'm skipping straight to the end, I mean it literaly skips any sort of traversing the land and just goes straight to the end. Here comes the thing everyone has been waiting for, the Rathalos. How do you kill a Rathalos, it's weakest right before it fires.
So basically watch the end of How to Train your Dragon and that's the end of Monster Hunter.
What's worse is Ranger returns home mid battle with the Rathalos but of course, that's not enough so the Rathalos also follows her home.
Now, here I started to have a little hope for because according to leaks over a year ago, I was under the impression there was going to be a fight between a Rathalos and Gore Magala in LA Airport. Seemed like the stupid shit this movie would bring but surprisingly it was just the Rathalos in the desert.
Now the army was there to recover Ranger before they were attacked by the Rathalos and open fire.
Now when the original team at the start of the movie shoot thousands of bullets at the Diablos and it does nothing. I can kinda accept that, Diablos's shell is something that should be hard and should be able to resist some simple bullets.
But a Rathalos shouldn't be able to take the kind of fire power it received without taking even a little damage. Ranger cut a whole in its wing with a tiny knife but gunfire from a military grade air craft does nothing?
There's guns in the world of Monster Hunter, they do kill monsters.

So they kill it via How to Train your Dragon methods and all is good, except the portal between worlds is still open and suddenly, a Gore Magala comes out of nowhere to fight them.
Ok, Gore Magala, now this is a rare monster, maybe a genuine fight with hunters vs monster would be interesting.
And roll credits.
Now that was infuriating but imagine how much worse it is when there's and end credit scene of them still fighting the Gore Magala while someone in a hood watches from afar.
I don't know about you but if this somehow gets approved for a sequel, someone really doesn't want to keep their money.

The movie was dumb, it involved America because apparently every action movie needs americans to come in and save the day. It had the potential, in spite of that but they still ruined it.
Character's were terrible, CGI was ugly and story, well writing more than one and a half pages might have been better.
My expectations were low but upon watching it, it raised them during certain parts only to show me I was right in the first place and made the disappointment all the more terrible.

I love Monster Hunter, been playing since Tri Ultimate but this movie was a disgrace. Don't waste your time.
