Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Paul W.S. Anderson and the crew traveled to remote locations in South Africa and Namibia to capture the film's expansive vistas.
- GoofsDuring the Rangers' initial contact with the solitary sand monster, one soldier is repeatedly firing a belt-fed automatic weapon at the creature, however while you see multiple muzzle flashes, the ammunition belt is stationary and not feeding through the weapon.
- Crazy creditsThere is a scene after the first set of credits involving a monster being fought and someone observing the fight from above.
- Alternate versionsNot long after its theatrical release in China, the film was pulled from cinemas and subsequently banned, because a joke in the film was deemed insulting ("What are my knees? What kind of knees are these? Chi-knees"). This joke has since been removed from all versions of the movie.

Featured review
It is what it is.....
I am not a fan of films based on video games. Most action films these days already feel like video games so why would we expect films based on video games to be any better? Because there is virtually NOTHING decent to see in a theater these days I decided to go see this with very low expectations. I know I can see just about anything at home streaming but I still would rather see a film in a movie theater.
Story? Forget that!!! Milla Jovovich stars as army Captain Artemis of a squad of soldiers who are in a desert and suddenly go into a portal. They are slaughtered by savage monsters. Jovovich lives and befriends the Hunter, played by Tony Jaa. Apparently, he is the main character in the video games but the Jovovich character is the main one here. The film has virtually no story. Very little dialogue. A staple of this type of film. Alot of CG monster creating havoc and Jovovich kicking butt. That's it.
Monster Hunter is pretty much what I thought it would be. Big, dumb and at best moderately entertaining. I expecting not to like it, but I did enough to have an average time.
Grade: C
