Review of Monster Hunter (2020) by Insaneseishiro — 08 Mar 2021

This is the worst movie I have seen in my entire life and I am not saying that lightely. Sure, it is objectivly better than a movie like "the room" or the infamous "Star wars holiday special", but while you can enjoy those movies ironicly and laugh at how bad they are, this one is just bad and there is nothing to laugh about.

It commits the moviesin of beeing utterly uninteresting, from start to finish, and void of any originality(Let's not even get started on beeing faithfull to the sourcematerial, pretty sure nobody ever had any hopes for this to be close the gamefranchise, in anything other than monstervisuals).

If you saw the trailer, you already saw all of the interesting visuals, and can safely skip this movie, because thats it, there is not a single bit of decent CGI, that wasn't created as promotional material.

The rest of the movie are bland shots of the desert, and actionshots with so many jumpcats and mostly during rain/night that you can hardly make out anything(at times the camera was so jumpy that my girlfriend actually got motionsick and even I, who rarely is affected by stuff like that, got a slight headache).

Once the movie finally had dragged itself to the featurelenght finishline, the only thing I felt was slight relief that it was finally over. No anger, no happiness, just the end of emotionless boredom.

Doesn't matter if you are a fan of MH or not, do yourself the favor and don't watch this, it just is an utter garbage film.
