Imagine being handed the Monster Hunter IP and the story you come up with is to isekai your wife as a US army.
Paul WS Anderson should be banned from making video game movies. He's not good at it, and his wife isn't either. She's been in good movies, but action is not her forte.
Automatic 0/10. Fuck Paul WS Anderson's hacky movies.
@@neonicon8500 he should be banned, that's it, just banned
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.
@@soulreaver6546 Banned from what?
Yes.
This movie would have been most accurate if a HR 999 hunter joined the party and wiped the floor with the monster, and pranced on its dead body while the hunter and artemis carved it for parts.
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.
i will never forget that one dude that joined my session and killed a master rank tempered kirrin in litteral 5 min while not even having that much stronger gear
Don’t forget some high level dick coming and giving you all kind of overpowered modded weapons for free
@@fish5645yeah i saw pearlmans character and was like “this dude gotta ATLEAST be HR” and he proceeded to get immediately burned by the rath on his first attack.
kabuki dance
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.
The Isekai is fine if the solider died faster am we got more buddy comedy as the focus
@@senritsujumpsuit6021 It's not fine, it will never be fine. We could of had so much better.
@@DireNemesis Ah, the curse of live-action video game movies.
Gore Magala’s inclusion was the (4) ultimate slap in the face.
I mean, imagine if the teased sequel was the post-main story with the ace hunters and Seregios and all that. God what could’ve been.
@@DireNemesis how am I wrong kill off the others faster am have more of her training in this new world then have them meeting others be the final scene
“Rathalos is Capcom’s Pikachu.” Is how I would explain Rathalos.
underrated comment right here
Ah, yes the starter monsta
Monster Hunter's Pikachu. Capcom's Pikachu is either Rockman or Ryu
@@atcera8714ryu is mario and ken is luigi
what's a pikachu?
Note that the switch axe didn't turn into a sword, but released a shockwave like a charge blade
well the switch axe can explode i guess
Bro, the "hunter" carries a fuckin bow and uses a great sword at the same time... they broke weapon rules so god damned hard.
Its as if they had a breif glance and didnt look any further
They should've just had her Dual Wield some Great Swords, shits insane but at least it's interesting 😂
@darthprodigal9401 well they "predicted " being able to use two weapons in the same time in the new monster hunter wilds
8:23 is actually perfectly accurate.
Black Diablos has those stupid slidey moves, where she bursts out of the ground/walls and just slides away for ages, so even if you manage to dodge or block you have to run after her.
in a game? yeah, sure
but in a movie catered to the broader audience (they don't even show the Diablos' slippery animation like in the games), it's just gonna make them think it's got terrible continuity problems to make an already shit adaptation even worse
@@johncarver357 I'm pretty sure general audiences are familiar with the concept of momentum.
would've loved it if they showed this happening
When fighting Tempered black Diablos in World all you hear is: "Toro Toro Toro" as she proceeds to stream roll over and over and over again
4 Ultimate's Apex Diablos taught me that no matter how far you are, no matter how fast you are, you will never escape the charge.
The useless fact I liked the most about the movie is the fact they remembered Nerscylla had two types of venom (Jaws have damaging venom and stinger has sleeping venom)
But then they decided to use base Nerscylla instead of the one that literally lives in the desert
Do you honestly think they did more reasearch than to google "spider monster in monster hunter"? Please, your expectations are too high
@@Selnathorn i just wanted rathalos, rathian, diablos, bagel, pickle and pepega slam.....and maybe SSJSS wukong
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
you mean the nerscylla that literally spiderman webs on air
@@eldeuls1237 it's possible to stab a person with virtually anything, as long as enough force is applied. Sure, Diablos' horns are dull, but it has a lot of strength (you know, how else would it be able to dig through tons of sand), so I don't see a problem with it being able to stab a puny human with it's horns
The whole teleportation thing is so strange to me, even The Witcher crossover made a tiny bit more sense lol
"...I hate portals."
Pukei-Pukei is a real one ✊😤
@@exterminatusbutton8723 Yeah but can it be a real one somewhere safer? I don't want to do that fight again...
I like the Witcher series but I'm still refusing to "talk to Geralt of Rivia"
Even the FFXIV collab made more sense
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.
Real exciting choices, Paul Anderson. Three different kinds of rock.
Got really excited when they got to what looked like the ancient forest. Even though the ancient forest doesnt have a tower off in the distance to the south. Then they immediately burned it to the ground
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 hate when they do that it is just mediocre, like Paul Anderson, MEDIOCRE.
how the hell does this guy keep getting the film rights for every big franchise?
He's relatively easy to work & sales pretty well in general
So..... capcom : don't care, pay us & whatever
@@somechinesedude5466 This movie underperformed though and they still want to make sequels for it....bruh (The budget for it was $60mln and it earned $46mln at box office). Goddamn Paul W Anderson....
@@Hikaeme-od3zqwho cares about box office anymore? Age of cinema is over. Most people consume streaming choices
Because resident evil made a lot of money and the suit ties hope it happens again
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti Nothing will beat a true movie experience, streaming is just another option. I absolutely want more good movies to go out and see, it's silly to say "who cares" when all you mean is "I don't care".
They really made the hunter into a caveman. They literally have flying ships. I'm pretty sure they would know what a dam chocolate is. Also that is the nicest Rathalos, I'm surprised it's not flying in the air 80% of the time and barraging them with fireballs. Is that a gore magala? Okay I appreciate the ending, because it would have just ended with their death.
Tbf who's to say they'd have cocoa in there world to begin with?? If you play any mh game from 4u up you'd know that aside from what looks like a steak literally everything from the herbs to the meat are completely different
@@wanted2657 But they know what dango is. We are not working with consistent rules here so it's no real use to contemplate the existence of cocoa or not
@@Selnathorn Rise was made after the movie
@@557deadpool There is a platter in World that consists of cake and marshmallows dipped in chocolate.
Yeah I don't think they did much um
research. for this. guessing.
But yes you're right, the MH world feels like it's as advanced as it needs to be, living in that sort of world. In some ways it's more advanced than ours, because they have access to monster materials that do stuff like create fire or ice or whatever.
I do think it's kinda cute that the guy accepted the role cause his son wanted him to. It's neat.
I guess... Just don't google his daughter
@@rpg500e why?
@@rpg500e why, tell us why goddamnit
@@nonameno5717 he said some very strange stuff about his daughter, let’s just leave it like that
@@ethanbaileylol2283 well, let's leave it then
The interdimensional angle killed this for me. The monsters, armor, and weapons pulled straight from Monster Hunter World look fantastic. The movie should've just focused on a group of hunters doing progressively more dangerous hunts. Maybe they discover some insane threat creeping towards their village that they've gotta deal with.
Yup, it's what made me not watch it. There's no reason for the dimension hop thing.
Forgot to add, the Netflix one has none of that.
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.
and just add the fanservice factor at the end: the hunters get overwhelmed by a monster, they are about to die and then the sapphire star shows up and defeats it, so the people that played world would say "YOO THAT'S ME" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✍✍✍✍✍✍
I will always be astounded by the fact that they haven't made a monster of the week type show for it.
Or a nature documentary type show
Fun fact, theres actually a pretty good Monster Hunter manga written by the guy who made Fairy Tail.
@@dallasmeeker5577 do you know the name of it or where I could read it?
@@dallasmeeker5577 WHERE
@@SunshowerWonderlab it's very short unfortunately, but it's still pretty good. It's called Monster Hunter Orage
The "belt" of the minigun is not supposed to move, its actually a "feed chute" with the belt moving inside it. Also RPG is pretty commonly used referring to any kind of rocket launcher system (Rocket Propelled Grenade), not just the one weapon that actually has the name officially. I know this is nerdy stuff but I thought I would mention it.
Random fun fact: The RPG in RPG-7 doesn't even stand for Rocket Propelled Grenade. It means Handheld, Antitank, Grenade launcher.
@@Danjianothat makes no sense
@@lizardjoe4224 Its not English. Its Russian. Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomot, not Rocket Propelled Grenade.
12:30 no fall damage. Staying faithful to the game 😆
To be fair: The no fall damage only applies to Hunters.
... Because they're literal superhumans who are insanely durable, heal rapidly, and are incredibly strong.
Milia should have still gotten squished by a bug.
@@DisgruntledArtist She's got cheat codes for plot armor, after all take a look at the Resident Evil flicks she even outdid the main characters there, bugs have got no chance.🤣
@@DisgruntledArtist yet, she managed to put up a great fight against the hunter.
@@rustyhowe3907 lmao
The interdimensional thing feels similar to when humans have to be the main characters in movies like Transformers or Godzilla. Hollywood thinks we need something very similar to ourselves to relate to so they introduce army soldiers from our world going to the Monster Hunter world instead of a movie just being about that world by itself.
Which is stupid, because having army people as protagonists instantly makes me less sympathetic towards them.
It's like that trope in kids movies. Instead of just making a movie about smurfs and their world, they just have to send them into real life new york city. Because the story is not interesting if it's not happening in a big city.
It's just a dumb trend and such lazy writing. Instead of actually having to work to build a believable world, just have regular military humans be Isekai'd to another world. I'm sure it saves them a ton of money on set and costume designs too. Whole movie looks like it takes place on the most boring MH1 map.
Avatar somehow got this right
@@gashousesgeekhouse2851 To be fair, that's a whole new IP with the entire story written around that concept, so it feels very natural. It's not an existing world from a separate piece of fiction being meshed with ours.
The “fight” with Artemis and the hunter, who is actually the field team leader meaning he is a seasoned hunter and not some caveman like the movie depicts him, is by far the silliest thing. Monster hunter humans are literal super humans, they swing hilariously large weapons like they’re featherweight, tank some anime super moves and shrug them off, and have zero fall damage. How the HELL did Artemis even land a single hit on the field team leader? Lmao
Because either A. Paul Anderson is a simp and wanted to make her a mary sue or B. This is military propaganda where they completely disregarded previous established lore that could make a really interesting story and just say fuck it ‘America rules cuz we have guns hoo ha ha’ just like the transformers movies
Things I've noticed from the movie that are different from the game:
1. Rathalos is huge in the movie
2. Monster Armor is too weak
3. Only 1 Palico is seen in the movie
4. The main lobby absolutely different
Shh, blud that's gold crown rathalos, rare spawn
Thats greater rathalos which was temporarily in the game
Nerscylla just being a generic spider
The characters from world are portrayed as cavemen which i fucking hate
In the game itself, they had a collab quest where you actually play as Artemis, and it turns out the reason the Admiral knows English is because after the end of the movie, Artemis ends up In the past before the events of the movie. She apparently was taking notes on the monster hunter language and was able to totally decipher it. She wrote it down and gave it to the admiral and finally went home after. So apparently she's a master linguist too lmao
I swear this is one of, if not, the most convoluted video game films I've ever seen. Seriously, what the fuck was Paul smoking?
@@GuessImaGuestoff topic but I adore your Archie Shadow icon so much
Great game series, but this movie is like a weird fever dream. It’s like this movie was made by someone who heard about Monster Hunter through a wall. A thick wall.
Just like the Resident Evil movies. The first two were alright, but everything else was God awful. Paul should give up video game movies, but he's not good at making them, and his wife isn't good at acting in them. I've seen her act well in movies, but I can't think of a single action movie she was believable in besides maybe the first RE movie, but she doesn't do much action stuff in it
@@neonicon8500 He should make a sequel to Event Horizon
@@corvus8638 Oh.....noooooooooo xD
@@corvus8638 starring Milla Jovovich
A thick brick wall.
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.
we don't know for sure what the tower actually does or who created it or what the purpose was or pretty much anything about it at all, while we can't say it does anything we certanly can't really say either that its just there "dead", we don't really know.
they needed a convenient plot device for the isekai to work and well i assume they came across it in their bare minimum of research
This from rise right? Dont remember any of this from world
@@lordofstuff_ I don't know where the hell my comment is disappearing for, but i wanted to add on to say that most of the lore about the ancient civilisation is taken from spinoff games, the MMO, and art/concept books, so it isn't all considered canon. the equal dragon weapon for example is just an unused concept taken from an art book. so yeah keep that in mind when looking into these things lol
@@lordofstuff_. It’s from multiple MH games and just MH lore.
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.
It actually takes a serious amount of drilling an pronunciation games to overcome things like that, but if it doesn't hinder understanding, it's really not that important to have 'perfect ' pronunciation, which doesn't exist anyway
yup, it's the same with japanese, outside of "n" all their consonants are followed by vowels so they have a hard time saying some foreign words.
@@666FallenShadow And wouldn't you know it, the Wyverian language is based off of Japanese! (at least I'm pretty sure it is)
Thank you ! I was about to say "how many languages does he speak to affirm this nonsense ?" 😂
That sounded pretty "French" actually...
Also I triple dare him to pronounce my name correctly(anglophones tends to say "Hey-nik" while there's absolutely no h sound in it!😅
Here's something funny. I have a DVD of the movie and under the special features menu there is a "the making of" video and Paul w.s Anderson was talking about the monsters In the film, points out cephalos (which was only in the movie for like 5 seconds) and calls it a remobra. These two monsters have nothing to do with each other and it just shows that they had little to no clue about the source material.
One is a sand shark, the other a winged snake. Almost couldn't get futher apart.
This is actually crazy, really shows they didn’t even play any of the games, just did some 10 minute research and called it a day
“Swing them around like paper”
Every great sword main:”Should we tell him?”
Hi Elvis. Just so you're aware, the XM134 minigun uses an encased ammunition feed tube, the rounds are rapidly moving through that linkage you see. TH-cam any video of a minigun firing and you'll see the 'hose' the ammo moves through. The gun consumes ammo so quickly that it needs to have a static feeding position or it would immediately jam or break the round linkage.
Now if only audio had the sexy BRRRRRR
@@mr.cyanide4484 ahhhh fuk yeaahhh...
The ammo belt within the feed tube is not moving - or "feeding".
You can see for a split second when the camera is over her left shoulder and the monster is in frame that the gun fires but the belt is stationary within the feed tube.
@@leafleap didn't notice tbh, given I avoided this garbage can of a movie lol good callout
I noticed at ~ 4:55 a guy is firing a M249 for a brief second, and the belt is not feeding despite muzzle flashes of him firing.
I honestly couldnt stop laughing at the video game adaptations that Paul W.S Anderson may fuck up next with Milla Jovovich lmao
The fact that she's still alive, after so many deadly situations, is actually canon in Monster Hunter games, where hunters only get knocked out instead of dying in the most gruesome ways. That doesn't explain the other soldiers' deaths, but who am I to criticize such a masterpiece?!
Well in lore they say monsters rip apart monsters.
I guess carting is also in the lore, but in rise that one hunter had to retire for months so she max able to hunt again.
In world they just kill of characters off screen all the time.
But who to came up with nercylla being scared of sun and laying es into humans😂
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.
@@iloverpgs1052 Well dont forget that Monster Hunter World: Iceborne chickened out of killing off the Excitable A-Lister in the final battle against FATALIS!! Same dragon that rests in the ruins of a castle he solely leveled but yet he can't melt one man XD
Dying is pretty normal in Monster Hunter but you rarely see it in the screen: Lunastra killed two hunters in the animated movie, village in Stories 1 where MC lives, Kokoto Chief's wife, Castle Schrade, Utsushi saying Narwa wiped a team. I reckon some hunters are near death, but they are saved by the Palicoes in the last second.
Jovobitch had plot armor here, considering she's just a regular human unlike the field leader.
@@DisgruntledArtist Wasnt that all only in a Japanese Book about Concepts that didnt make it into the games, therefore not canon?
As an insect glaive main, the worst part about this movie is that Tony Jaa uses a glaive without a kinsect.
Also the Admiral performs an SAED with a switchaxe.
I was thinking about this. If they explored more of the ecology side of monster hunter instead of "BIG MONSTER, CAVEMAN HIT", then it would have been awesome to have an experienced hunter introduce their kinsect as a pet/friend. I've recently been obsessing over the MHGU kinsects and a Gullshad or a Windchopper would have been amazing. Pretty and not too intimidating.
FR I WAS ACTUALLY FUMING AS AN IG MAIN
Thank you for reviewing this movie. Everytime I think of this movie I pop a blood vessel with how angry it makes me. I am a die hard MH fan
same. Every once in a while i am subjected to the misfortune of remembering it exists and then i just seethe. i could rant about all the ways this film betrays the franchise for hours
Idk, were you really expecting much?
yet, it could have been WORSE!
@@darthprodigal9401no it really is the worst thing i have ever seen, mary sues, complete disregard for any established lore, racism, army propaganda, etc. It’s like a spit in the face except said spit was actually from alatreon as it then burns you alive with the oily substance it spat you with
I watched this with my brother who plays World and Rise, my dad who knows nothing about MH but likes dumb action movies and loves Tony Jaa, we all had big goofy grins on our faces. It was dumb fun (especially after a few drinks) with some good monster gore. Considering I just came from playing Monster Hunter Stories Wings of Ruin which was all about “monsters are our friends :)” and “monsters injure people they don’t kill them (on screen)” so seeing some pretty gruesome gore was a bit shocking but kind of hilarious.
Still better than the uncharted movie.
@@ronniewhitedx Big disagree, i feel uncharted was a good movie..and i know nothing about the game. But i will say it probably would of been 100x better if it was faithful, which... obviously, its a video game adaptation that fails at adapting the video game.
@@DireNemesis If Im being honest I didn't hate the movie. It just felt a little too.... Unoriginal.
Popcorn flix are my guilty pleasure. I’ll have to watch this then.
@@ronniewhitedx Omg… That just reminded me of the ‘Still a Better Love Story than Twilight’ meme.
When my grandma told me this movie was awesome.... I knew it was going to be interesting... watched it with her and I told her I loved it. I couldn't let her down. Lol. I don't understand why she loves this movie, I tried to explain to her the game and I just gave up lmao. Great video brother.
I love explaining games to my grandma. She thought breath of the wild was very violent and was confused as to why I kept fighting things
@@eldritchcupcakes3195 Lol that's cute tbh, when I was a kid my grandparents would catch me mowing hoardes of pedestrians in GTA Sanandreas just because I was on a time gated mission 💀
@@SanilJadhav711 damn my mom would’ve never let me get any gta. I grew up watching my dad play Skyrim
I saw this film with my dad when he came back home for my wedding, it was the last film we ever saw together. It was not good, but good enough.
@@casedistorted I don't remember the last movie i went and saw with my dad i think it was the first star trek remake, I do remember seeing the previews because the district 9 preview came on and saw peter Jackson was involved and we loved his movies.
Y'know, the whole "bringing modern weaponry into video games" trope can be pretty good if executed decently. It's just a shame that they pick the absolute worst fanfiction writers off of something like Wattpad or AO3 to write their scripts.
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.
@Mr Buttocks
I'd pay to watch a movie where they called in a tactical nuke on Fatalis.
But honestly? If the Monster Hunter weapons are so good against monsters, actual military equipment would *shred* through them.
@@wesleyward5901 Remember pretty much every human IN Monster Hunter are far superior to 'us' physically. Things that would turn us into a smear on the ground, they shrug off like it was nothing.
Oh and take a GOOD look at the monsters and you tell me out guns can hurt them. You need high caliber bullets to reliably kill bears for gods sake, and you need what amounts to a small cannon to kill elephants. The monsters in MH are bigger, tougher, and FASTER than elephants by quite the margin.
@@wesleyward5901 problem is, no it wouldn't. Hell even real world creatures need stupid big guns to hurt and kill (elephants, rhinos)
Now imagine an elephant the size of a small building with armor plating like a triceratops.
Or a spider the size of a buss, with foot thick chitin armor.
Or how about a literal living volcano
@razorcloud1
You're right, but what did humans do when regular guns didn't work on big animals like the elephant? They made the elephant gun. Hunanity would develop weapon capable of harming these monsters and besides, even if bullets don't work, explosives definitely would.
Ron Pearlman is the weirdest casting choice that seems to be miscasted in a lot of movies
But he was born to play Hellboy
Ron Pearlman's movie casting is always really weird. He's either absolutely perfect for the role like Hellboy or he's completely out of place with almost zero in between.
He look the part lol
Paul W. S. Anderson movies are like those weird dreams you have, where you're walking down the street when suddenly Mila Jovovich is being punched to death by a gorilla, but even though she's basically mush at this point, she gets up with no injuries and suplexes the gorilla into a volcano. Then suddenly, for no reason, Donald Trump in a tutu riding a unicorn.
It makes sense for the Hunter holding her at knifepoint, considering they shot at him first without provocation, so now he has to prevent that the second time around
this would make sense, but Tony Jaa still helped the soldiers when they were running from the Nerscyllas after he almost got shot by them; why would he still help them if he knows that they're hostile?
@@smugigante7312 still didn't want them dying the nasty deaths from the spiders i guess
This is why prominent fans of series should be asked to take part in the scripting process for game adaptations.
I know this would never happen but little things like including that jingle when cooking the meat like you mentioned in the video would go a long way.
China cranks out tons of mobile game adaptions which are very much like the source material spinoff or direct adaptions
Hm. I'm not really sure. It's nice to have fanservice thrown in adaptations every now and then, but making faithful adaptations is a hard thing. Mostly because some things that work well for a game won't work that well for someone who's just watching because of the lack of interaction.
Movies like the latest Resident Evil are basically a load of fanservice that long time fans will get it and enjoy, but that doesn't make the movie less shitty.
No, fans should never be asked for script writing advice. So many fans are fucking dumb. I'm sorry, but it's true. But they should never let Paul WS Anderson direct another game movie. They need to find directors who are actual fans of the series to make a movie.
@@sonicstruggle7477 RE 7 would make for a good movie I think, and you could be pretty faithful unless it's something that has to do with another game. Like, you wouldn't need to include Chris at the end, just have Ethan kill the final boss himself. It'd be a mix of The Crazies and The Thing. Idk a reference for the final boss lol
@@neonicon8500 I completely agree with you that Paul WS Anderson should not be allowed to direct video game movie.
I partially agree about the fan aspect, yeah, don't just grab some random scrub or something, maybe someone like Gaijin Hunter, someone who job is basically knowing monter hunter.
As a Monster Hunter fan, holy shit was this a torturous ride lmao
Even if you’re not a fan of the series, you still have a bad time playing this
But AS a fan? Holy shit
Dark day as an MH fan
I liked it. Then I played the games. And I still liked it
Her an Hunter scenes are amazing thou if it replaced the army scenes with more them together it would be perfect for fans
Sounds like capcom
That chi-knees joke 😂 lmao not surprised China review bombed the heck out of it. Anything to spite america
I spent days on a rant about how bad this movie is, wish it wasn’t real
While the meowscular chef in MHW was a palico in the past (the admirals palico) not all of them are palicos, palico means those cats that hunt with the hunters, the general subrace is called felyne while the main race is Lynian. Melynx are also Lynians but the black ones. Also the Chakalakas and other similar creatures in MHW are also Lynians.
Completely unrelated, but not all cats in Monster Hunter are Palicoes. The species is called Felyne and Palicoes are just Felynes who've trained to go on hunts and fight monsters.
I think the military thing could work.
Have like 4 soldiers go in, they waste their ammunition shooting at every strange creature they see, unsure wether it's hostile or not.
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.
This sounds alot more better than what we got
"The game where people wield this ridiculously sized weapons and fly around like they're made of paper"
Now hold on a minute. They *look* like that only when you're good at the game, put the Greatsword in any newbie's hands and it's going to be the exactly like anchor it looks like.
My biggest complaint is the environment and the monsters, monster hunter literally has some of the most creative environments like the rotten vale. A literal ecosystem made from the corpses of others monsters. Yet they chose a basic desert with like three monsters. None of the monsters in the film even interact with each other, which was a core mechanic in the last monster hunter game 😭. They could’ve at least put a barroth or a kulu ya-ku in there man
Not my egg holding boy! T_T
The Barroth could've attacked the Diablos
Just for a short little clarification: that belt on the machinegun we're seeing isn't the actual belt, and it's more just a feeding guide so that the belts don't get tangled up while they dangle freely like what we would see with SAWs.
Jumps from barely beating a f'n rathalos directly into fighting a god damn gore magala
So first you said that they just started shooting at Tony Jaa's character without cause, which I agree. But then you called him out for holding someone at knife point when his last interaction with her group, they were the aggressors. So, of course, he'd proceed with caution, seeing that she's armed. Makes sense.
I thought the same thing.
Yeah. It makes sense for him to take her prisoner, they did try to kill him on sight. And you think instead of being a poopyhead to the guy who seems like a locale and knows what the hell is up with a beast like black Diablos and giant monstrous spiders existing, where in our world we don't have anything like. After her entire team just died no less, think she'd want some answers.
@@smusky4643yeah what the hell is up with her agression? The first 45 minutes of the movie is spent with person on person fighting in a monster hunter movie
Artemis not hitting the stampede is the most game accurate scene in this movie. DB mains are definitely like that.
[sigh] It's true. I can barely hit a dah'ren mohran with a ranged weapon.
This movie was so bad, Capcom discontinued the event quests tied to this movie in only a few months.
3:30 That really is the kind of stuff we would do in a combat situation. Singing cadence is just something that we do, regardless of how dire the situation might be.
Truth, people talk shit on it... but you revert to what you know, especially to de stress. So yeah rallying the troops in dire straits with some BS cadence is leadership 101 if you're not doing vital shit.
i love how they go from fighting a black diablos, to a rathalos and then ending with god damn gore magala, wich we dont even get to see them fight because its the end of the movie and there sure as hell aint gonna be a sequal
Well, at least they got Diablos' feet right
after Capcom told them they were originally modeled wrong, of course
Also, mh is filled with tons of interesting designs, blending fantasy and realism in amazing ways, yet they decided on:
Horn Dragon - Big Spider - Fire Dragon - Weird Dragon.
Of course, Rathalos is atleast understandable, being the Pikachu of the series, but they could have tried more to show the fantastic variety in the monsters
and even tho diablos looks correct, it's still wholly inaccurate. It does not move or act like one at all. It burrows like a nibelsnarf and hardly charges.
i gotta be the nerdy guy and say they're wyverns not dragons 🤓
@@purple_sticky_ballz3091 yes, but people outside the game series propably won't know about the intricate taxonomy of the monsters
i mean it would have been funny AF if the military guys would have stumpeld into a Kulu-ya-ku at first
who is like in world compelty passive
then shoot at it and it pulls out the giant rock and just on shots on of them right out of the vehicle XDD
justi magine thel ook if a giant boulder gets hurled towards you
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 😵
Thank you, was looking if someone corrected that
Adding Gore Magala at the end cause they thought they'd get a sequel. Cute.
"They're surrounded by way more substantial threats, it made no sense of them to bicker with each other."
This is pretty much what I was thinking the entirety of the Walking Dead series.
lmfao, I'm with you bro... BUT people are fucking people. You expect them to act rational in a horrible situation and they'll disappoint... Look at Morgan post Duane.
I'm actually surprised they got a couple of things right. Someone involved in the production must at least have played through some 1✰ quests
lol best comment, bro that's probably who their main film advisors were... "We cleared all the 1 star quests, we understand th game now!"
No joke, in an interview I saw, they did have some rando who had played MH:W for a bit advise them on in world accuracies.
I'm so happy to hear Elvis actually loves the MH games. Im a big fan of the series aswell and knowing that one of my favs youtubers actually likes the games is amazing to me.
Took some balls teasing the plague dragon at the end in 2020
isnt the plague dragon vaal hazak, that in the movie is gore magala, type unknown freny virus dragon
@@PhantomMiria22 technically yeah, im just putting it in a simple way
@@shadowthedragon7151 Two plague dragons for the price of one in the definitely real sequel that's totally coming out in 2025
4:49 nitpick the nitpick, the M72 LAW is an RPG. It's just not specifically *that* RPG, as in the RPG-7. Other anti-tank rocket propelled grenade launchers are still referred to as RPGs. 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.
Im so glad you said it, cause i was raring to go ove rit
i am also going to nitpick, the mini gun artemis uses is belt fed, it just has a tube covering the ammunition chain, because the gun fires so quickly it’s important to keep any dirt or debris out of the weapon bc if anything gets in the weapon it can wreck the gun
Paul Anderson making PVZ Movie: "insert his wife as the main unrelated character"
That movie was supposed to be made by Paul Anderson too?
I'm glad it got cancelled then honestly
Her name? Persephone Shooter, or P. Shooter for short
When he said that they were gonna get the nerscylla to sting the diablos I got excited because thought the was gonna be a turf war but no they just took the nerscylla stinger
If they ever did a remake/remaster of dino crisis, i could 100% see a dino crisis movie starring Mila Jovavich
Me and my girl at the time went to go watch this in theaters and I literally passed tf out from boredom before the middle of the movie and I don’t remember a thing from it 😭
The entire first part of the movie is some of the most boring drivel I have every had the misfortune of sitting through. I could not finish the movie it was that boring
Starts slow but cooks tf in the middle to end, diablos was Ruthless as ever, then Rathalos going crazy on the hunters and the army machines was awesome
11:34 No, he has a Power Phial Switch Axe, the flames are just an indication of the explosion which is not fire but RAW based not unlike an Impact Phial Charge Blade will have lighting blasts but is not thunder element.
The only weird thing here is that he was somehow able to use an Amped Elemental Discharge from the Charge Blade with a Switch Axe. That really makes no sense so i assume Anderson just mistook one weapon for the other because both have Axe mode.
Whats weird is that they build it up that artimes is strong and badass and she doesnt even kill the rathalos, she also doesnt use the greatsword (which she is seen using in promo material)
What I think is ridiculous is they had the whole Monster Hunter IP, and yet based the movie on a non canon crossover mission in metal gear: peacewalker where snake gets transported to monster hunter.
exactly, it's like one big fever dream event quest.
As a massive fan boy of the mh series for over 12 years I was actually disappointed that it was a live action movie adaptation. They should've made a short anime series based solely on a games story like 4u's main story and its high rank story.
yes that could have worked so well as low rank 4u actually has something of a story
The animated movie about the ace cadet is actually pretty okay
There is a manga of monster hunter. Pretty good read
@@UnagiTempura thats pretty good, my biggest gripe with that movie is the sound design. It's awful. But other than that it's decent
the worst part of this movie is that instead of rathalos it would have made way more sense to have fatalis lorewise and then he should have bitchslaped everyone except for the admiral so he could survive for the games ( I know it doesn’t make much sense but I think it’s better than what we got)
Never expected Elvis the Alien himself, to review this movie!
Me neither, it's a pleasant surprise
I mean he has reviewed a handful of Video Game Movies now. Resident Evil, Silent Hill and now Monster Hunter. I think the only ones left for him to review is Assassins Creed and Tomb Raider
@@academyjason
Oh come on, he HAS to review Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Those are goofy as fuck too
Why is it when he has done the resident evil movies…
@@EdgyZiggy Street Fighter Assassin's Fist would make for a great Review, actually, that movie was super fun to watch
The most annoying thing about this movie is that Gore Magala, my favorite monster in the series, is teased at the end and they dont even get to fight it
4:30 Elvis, it looks like the belt has a guard over the actual ammo. It's to prevent it getting caught on something while being fed into mini gun at the high speeds.
That piece going to the chain gun isnt the ammo, the ammo moved through it and its basically a cover to keep the ammo straight and un-kinked as it goes into the gun
'There are so many more substatial threats around them, it makes no sense that they would fight each other.'
The most realistic part of the movie.
I love MonHun but this movie takes a dump all over the world building especially in the first few minutes alone. Love seeing people rip it to shreds. Gore Magala you deserved so much better even as a post credits cameo.
4:45 ish, the "belt" on the minigun is meant to be stationary. What you are seeing is a guard, not the actual ammo. It's meant to guard sand and debris from getting into the internals of the firearm
8:30 actually as an OG monster hunter player, i can confirm that this is the kinda music people used to use in their speedruns back in the day, so in a way this is very accurate
one of my small nitpicks is ironically how absolutely massive they made some of the monsters look, like rathalos is a large monster, but this thing is like triple the size of a game rathalos
They did make that movie tie-in event quest in World where you fight an absolutly massive Rathalos. Though the event has since been removed due to movie rights.
@@33link333copywrong ruining stuff once again
7:15 that part is actually pretty accurate, people not knowing english will repeat words making letters you didnt say
I think it's incredibly funny that the Rathalos fight in FFXIV is more accurate to how Monster Hunter works than the actual Monster Hunter movie
Cause I would totally trust the guy who essentially made self insert fanfic out the re franchise to handle a monster hunter film .
This movie mad me so faking saaaaaaad man. Also, that rathalos was kinda ridiculously big.
Also, WTF? I had no clue Gore Magala was in the last scene!
The ending pissed me off so much, just as the film starts to finally feel like monster hunter it just abruptly ends
They're military, the military is issued special chocolate that Hershey makes specifically for soldiers deployed to hot climates. You can actually tell just looking at it that it actually is military chocolate too, so that is actually a really cool detail they included.
Making a documentary film about each monsters would.still be more entertaining
The actresses for Handler and Serious Handler totally should’ve switched rolls
Rathalos is a wyvern. Wyverns have 2 legs and wings, Dragons have 4 legs and wings. Elder dragons sometimes have 6 legs/wings. Ex. The gore megala has 4 legs and its wings are also legs.
I hope Sony does a Monster Hunter movie reboot with Eli Roth directing and writing, featuring Henry Cavill, Tom Hardy, & Angelina Jolie. Give it a 90 million dollar budget.
The funniest thing about this movie is it actually ties into Monster Hunter Worlds canon through an event quest in the game. So World is technically an Isekai
lol
damn I already don't like Worlds and now I don't like it even more lmao
@@TheVincenzoGaming why dont you like world? lol
@@gnat4999 he's a nerd 🤓
@@shen5533 How does having standards make them a nerd lol
The movie about the game where’s there is practically no story and characters rarely talk. And all the fun comes from hunting and coop with players
What could go wrong
A lot can go right this film would have been great if it focused more on the banter of her am the Hunter
also theirs a CG movie about the Red head from World
It's like making a movie about Minecraft
On the other hand though, if you have a rich open world with barely any story threads to hang on to, you can basically do whatever you want
You can tell plenty of interesting stories in the setting. Even with the premise they operated under you could go heavy on worldbuilding and learning. Exploring a world where the tech you're familiar with is actually worthless because the hunters themselves are the actual weapon, not the equipment they use (mostly because nobody else can reasonably wield their weapons) - the problem was that it was a fanfiction ignoring anything other than the most surface lore.
@@DisgruntledArtist reminds me of a Chinese show I know where a solider uses modern weapons for awhile; but has to combine them with the new worlds methods to live
@@senritsujumpsuit6021 Always a fun idea. :D
I really liked the second act, it reminded me a lot of Enemy Mine. Unfortunately everything after the oasis feels like a completely different movie.
I honestly would like to see Milla do a cameo in a game. That would honestly be really funny.
She did appear on Monster Hunter World, there was an event were we use her to hunt a giant rathalos.
In the Movie you can't kill a Monster with a Gatling and Rockets but you can Stab them to death with a Arrow!
Well how fun to be a light or Heavy gunner in the Game who shot Bullets and Explosives too.
TI was actually in a movie called takers. Which is a pretty decent guilty pleasure movie with a star studded cast
If I were adapting a video game to the screen I would literally be polling the fan base and doing my best to work with them to make it as good as possible
While the games have a fan base, I imagine trying to make it as broad and relatable as possible is still the more monetarily enticing option. Go big or go broke mentality, the for sure fans that want a true to form movie wouldn't bring in half of what the general public would, if the movie happens to catch on.
@@putinmahcochin1636 id think the fans would prefer a new hunter as mc then an issekai american military

My mom rented this movie for my whole family to watch. We thought it was some cool action movie for all ages but we were wrong. When it got to the part where that guy had eggs in his stomach we had to turn it off but I’m pretty sure my younger siblings are still emotionally scarred from it.
It was like watching the scarab beetle scene from The Mummy 😣
It was a very stupid movie & an insult to the games. The hunters are actually more advanced & they do have sweets. The monsters don't behave like they are supposed to & Nerscylla (the spider monster) is not from the desert, they aren't nocturnal, aren't afraid of the light & their young never grow inside animals. It was changed in the movie.(I guess the producers thought it would be cooler).
I hated that movie with a burning passion as someone who plays the games & I even if I didn't, it is a dumb movie with a popular actress in a desert the whole movie with 4 CGI monsters with an open ending.
@@lagopusvulpuz1571 EXACTLY AND I FUCKING HATE THE FACT THAT THEY MADE NERSCYLLA A GENERIC HORROR MOVIE SPIDER AND THE FACT THAT THEY MADE HUNTERS LIKE CAVEMEN WHEN WE HAVE GAMES LIKE WORLD AND RISE TO PROVE THEM WRONG
Honestly TI joining the cast of the movie because of his son is… kind of wholesome?
From what I can see he didn't do too bad either.
I'm just so sorry for his son that the movie turned out to be absolute garbage though.
too bad his role was just spider chow
I feel like all the petty combat between the Soldiers and Hunters was because they didn't have the CGI budget to add more monster scenes.
This movie physically hurt me
Fighting a ratholos irl would bescary asf it’s already got my anxiety up when I play the game tf am I going to do irl
The dumbest parts of this movie was not just the dumb language barrier between the hunter and Artemis, but also how they turned the world of Monster Hunter into this Dark and Gritty world and everyones like “the monsters outnumber us and we’re constantly fighting for our lives” when normally everyone in Monster Hunter is pretty happy and just enjoyed hunting monsters. Like yeah the world is dangerous and theres some world ending shit out there, but everyones pretty stoic and optimistic most of the time regardless.
The Monster Hunter world does use it's own language, so the language barrier makes perfect sense, doesn't mean they didn't handle it like shit though.
It's like deep rock. Sure, it's their job, and it's ridiculously dangerous, but the dwarves really just do it because they love it and have a good time. Monster hunter is the same
