      I hope in the future there are some director who love the world of Monster Hunter enough and brave enough to make a real movie about this magnificent world. Monster Hunter could be a simple story about some hunter trying to save their village with some subtle deep hidden lore behind. Some of Monster Hunter points I found when playing this game since the first game are the complex and believable creatures and ecosystems, the charming and humble native civilizations, the deep blury hidden lore depicting their histories and the idea of respecting nature and becoming hero who saved the village.

      I know you are joking but honestly I think what would have made it better is if a group of experienced hunters all unique in different sets and weapons took down the Rag with ease, just to showcase the difference between the characters seen and those that are famed for killing primal gods.

    A big part of what I've seen from Monster Hunter is also the variety and beauty of the environments...
    So, obviously, the whole movie took place in... The desert... Some dark caves... And a bleak rocky place also in the dark.

      That's basically what he did with the last resident evil movies too, it's way cheaper to make lame ass fights in the desert, you don't even have to put any cgi, it's just a desert.

    I have several gripes with this film, but my biggest one is how they used gore magala. Gore magala was introduced in MH4U, a game with a plot that pretty much completely centers around this monster. The reason why is because it sheds a virus known as the frenzy virus, which can drive monsters crazy, making them extremely dangerous. This could've made for an AMAZING plot. A young hunter just starting out, learning what it means to be a hunter while combatting the virus as she searches for its source, movie ending with a showdown between her and a freshly molted shagaru magala.
    But no. We got a fucking isekai.

      nah they absolutely no way they know that. They have done zero research in the game.
      Capcom really does a lot of attention to detail when it comes to monster designs example was zinogre spikes they were built in bee hive like things for the bugs to live in, diablos horn shouldn't be sharp in the first place, they were used to dig thru sand and rock so they would be heavily weathered and dull, they were used as a bulldozer not a drill so it's bullshit diablos can stab someone with that horn and apparently they brake their own horn off.
      Why would a diablos intentionally brake it’s own horn, we have a freaking deviant that became bloodbath diablos because he got ptsd from getting his horn broken
      nerscylla is afraid of sunlight?
      No fireballs from rathalos
      And instead of dynamite can't they just make a prop orangey-red mushroom and call it nitroshroom grind it turning it into paste and then boom power coating, hitting a monster with it causes extreme burn since nitroshroom are hot
      And apparently I think they're mistaking the switch axe for the charge blade, and insect glaive has no insect on it and in the end dual blades only has 1 blade now

      Here let me fix it for you, the tower we see in the movie I'm pretty sure its meant to be the tower we fight lucent nargacuga and other monsters in some of the games, that tower is in the middle of some ruins of an ancient civilization long lost even to the hunter commission, there's no records of it whatsoever, however reports indicate that something mysterious happens there as lots of very powerful monsters have been reportedly started gathering around near the tower, so in terms of what it could mean or do they could have had it be anything they wanted... monster hunter world (the game) kinda fucked it up by not adding the tower to the game and tying the knot there and instead went with the weird time-space storm, but I can see and understand why they took that direction since the game was still pretty early on, so yeah I get that making an isekai to the universe is maybe not the most appealing but the material for that is there, even the witcher crash portaled (?) into their world lol let's not act like a little bit of interdimensional shenaningans is gonna kill the immersion on a universe0 thats so crazy and fantastic like monster hunters

      @Carlos Guzman Yes, an interdimensional pathway exists in the game, I know. I remember Geralt dropping in for a CROSSOVER EVENT, which was awesome. But a crossover event in a game, introducing a famous character from another beloved IP is way different than a movie following some random soldiers from our world stumbling into the Monster Hunter world. It doesn't matter how you spin it. It was just a lame execution when we could've instead followed much more interesting characters that already exist in that world.

    It’s so odd that the movie is filled with inaccuracies, but still somehow integrated The Ancient Tower, which is pretty rarely talked about in game with only a few locations near or on the tower. I mean it’s not powered by lava or anything or creates storms, it’s pretty much just a dead ancient structure where powerful monsters tend to hang out.

    Just one note. The /choc-lat/ /choc-o-lat/ pronunciation bit is accurate. Lots of people who don't speak English as a first language, or use consonant clusters ('cl' 'bl' 'fr' for example) will often insert a vowel sound between the cluster better fit the pronunciation models they grew up with, regardless of wether they have read the word or not. I used to teach English in Vietnam and the kids would always say "balu" instead of "blue". Kids too young to read, even. That's just one example.

    • @DisgruntledArtist
      @DisgruntledArtist ปีที่แล้ว +49

      Well, no, not quite.
      Y'see, Hunters are descendants of genetically engineered humans who were modified (or created?) to hunt the monsters that, in turn, were basically so OP that the conventional weapons of the era couldn't handle them. The hunters don't die when KO'd because their bodies are insanely resilient (hence no fall damage) and they've got a buddy to drag them out of danger. They recover fast.
      So, too, do monsters. Even successful hunts don't necessarily result in a monster dying - just being wounded long enough for you to scavenge some organs from it before it starts waking up and murdering you again. Depends a bit, though.
      Amusingly the deaths of the soldiers make perfect sense, as do the modern weapons meaning nothing to the monsters themselves (or, at least, they shouldn't) -- the real screwup was Milia being capable of contributing, physically, to any engagement because she's... just a regular human. Even swinging the same weapon she should practically bounce off, or be unable to carry them effectively, because she's significantly weaker across the board.
      TL, DR: Monster Hunter lore actually explains all game mechanics in a plausible way but the movie ignored it and the games don't usually reference it because it's not relevant to the stories.

    Their rations get burned, their ammo spend, they run into a hunter that leads them to a village, and the soldiers have to start working on becoming proper hunters, using stealth, tactics, and weapons from this strange new world.
    Eventualy there is a rift in the group, as two of the hunters want to stay in this fantastical almost-magical realm but the others either have family or don't want to waste the time and effort they put into their career to be for nothing. and they split up to go and do their own thing until the latter group discovers how to go back but lacking the manpower to defeat the big af monster in front of the tower so they make a formal request to the hunters guild for help and they all team up for one last epic battle before they separate again, but this time on good terms.

    The gun at 4:26 doesn't take belts like a normal mechanical belt fed gun would. It's a mini gun, the "belt" you see is more of a bullet feeding strip where bullets slide thru. The guns firing rate is too high that using regular loose belts would jam it or pre-detonate a round 😵

      To be honest it's like shooting a bear with a 9mm for the monsters in MH. Anything short of a 50BMG will do absolutely nothing, and you DEFINITELY need heavier calibers to actually kill these critters quickly. Brachydios, Uragaan(and Radobaan too), and literally EVERY other 'armored' monster are the ones you'd need larger ordinance for.

Many countries have some variant of RPG to equip infantry with anti-armor capability, such as the SMAW in the US, the Panzerfaust 3 from Germany, or pretty much any shoulder-fired rocket-based anti-armor weapon.

    ohhh yeah, this was the movie I remember my dad and I going to see when he came home to visit me for our wedding, he was home in Jan 2021 for a week and a half and this was the last film we saw together, going to the movies was kind of our thing when I was growing up. Honestly the only thing I remember about this film was that it had terrible editing. But the CGI was pretty dang good.
    Anyway dad died in August of 2022 in his home in Puerto Rico (he had been living there for about 4 years at that point, but had been living here in Wisconsin up until then, so seeing him in 2021 for our wedding was a big deal for me after he had been gone for a couple of years).
    So this movie is kind of bitter sweet to me, it wasn't terrible but wasn't great either. There was nothing really else better in theaters at the time that he wanted to see, and we had both seen worse together (Transformers movies.. we saw 1 or 2 of those together). I remember seeing most of the 007 films together like Goldeneye, Skyfall, Spectre.. I remember we saw Blackhawk Down together in 2000. He cringed and freaked out at the scene with the leg artery. We went and saw Wing Commander WAY back in the day together (yes, that was a movie).
    And once we had our pictures taken outside the movie theater in front of the Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile. RIP dad
