Say what you will about the often critically derided films in the \u201cResident Evil\u201d series, there\u2019s at least a sense of style behind them that\u2019s entirely missing for the first hour of \u201cMonster Hunter.\u201d That hour is bafflingly incompetent, failing to give viewers even the basic action they presume comes with a purchase or rental of something called \u201cMonster Hunter.\u201d At around the 70-minute mark, the Anderson who knows how to use excess for entertainment wakes up,\u00a0but it will be too late for most people, who will either be asleep or figuring out if there\u2019s a way to get a refund on their VOD rental. And then Anderson sabotages any goodwill he could have left with his viewers by dropping a non-ending designed purely to tease a sequel that seems unlikely to ever be. When it was announced, the hope was this could launch another series like \u201cResident Evil.\u201d Sadly, this is going to be closer to \u201cSoldier\u201d on Anderson&#8217;s resume. Maybe they could get the gang together for more zombie dogs?<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>\u201cMonster Hunter\u201d opens in a vast desert in country with a group of U.S. Army Rangers on patrol, led by Captain Natalie Artemis (Milla Jovovich). What looks like a combination sandstorm\/thunderstorm rises on the horizon, and Natalie and her team are suddenly thrust into an alternate universe alongside ours that is basically more desert, but with giant, terrifying creatures. Instead of world-building, which has defeated some of his most enjoyable escapism, Anderson goes for a vast desert wasteland aesthetic, and it\u2019s a fatal flaw. You can\u2019t make a movie called \u201cMonster Hunter\u201d that\u2019s boring to look at it, and this is one of Anderson&#8217;s flattest films in every way.<\/p>\n<p>After Anderson dispatches with most of Natalie\u2019s crew, he unites his heroine with someone from this world called \u201cThe Hunter,\u201d played by Tony Jaa. If you\u2019re thinking, \u201cOh, cool, a Jovovich vs. Jaa fight has some potential,\u201d I was on the same page, but Anderson can\u2019t even pull that off. Working with editor Doobie White, he cuts every sequence in \u201cMonster Hunter\u201d into a hyperactive cinematic gruel so everything just looks and feels the same, at least for the first hour. Even when Jaa gets to show off some of his notable skills \u2026 we barely get to see them because of the choppy filmmaking.   <\/p>\n<p>What about the monsters? Shouldn\u2019t a movie called \u201cMonster Hunter\u201d that\u2019s co-produced by Toho scratch that itch for fans of \u201cGodzilla\u201d movies? Again, that mark is missed. The creature design isn\u2019t even as elaborate or detailed as the games, feeling like the bare minimum required to satisfy a memo to an effects studio that says \u201cmake a big monster.\u201d Some of the creature design in the \u201cRE\u201d movies can be grotesquely creative, but the decisions here in terms of monsters feel safe and boring.   <\/p>\n<p>And then something very bizarre h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens. About two-thirds of the way into \u201cMonster Hunter\u201d it\u2019s almost like Anderson and Jovovich get so bored that they just decide to start the wackier sequel earlier. Spotted briefly in the prologue, a scenery-chewing Ron Perlman drops into the action accompanied by a team of hunters that includes a giant cat who acts like a human. And in this moment you realize that <em>all<\/em> of \u201cMonster Hunter\u201d needed to be this weird. It\u2019s not a great film at any point, but there\u2019s style and creativity in the last act that\u2019s a stark contrast to the dull noise that came before. If you\u2019re gonna transport a star like Milla Jovovich to a land of monsters, why strand her in the desert for an hour and then basically become a different, more stylish movie in the final act? By the time Anderson figures out the right tone for this project, you\u2019ll be hunting for a better movie.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Brian Tallerico\" src=\"https:\/\/static.rogerebert.com\/uploads\/user\/primary_image\/brian-tallerico\/featured_BT2019.jpg\" title=\"Brian Tallerico\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><figcaption>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brian_Tallerico\"><\/span>Brian Tallerico<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Brian Tallerico is the Editor of RogerEbert.com, and also covers television, film, Blu-ray, and video games.
