The animation is a bit all over the place, but it has heart. I like how they show the lives of those who aren't in the guild and what it means to them when an elder dragon is approaching (as opposed to hunters spamming sticky shots to the head). I also like seeing the monsters, armors and weapons. This is the right way to make a monster hunter movie, show the world, the people, the equipment and the monsters.

That being said, I really wish that this film was a mini series instead so we can get more of the characters' backgrounds. It was a little too fast paced to really appreciate some of the characters and let the moments we have with them sink in. I really hope this is a platform for a series because I'd LOVE to see more.

The fact that this film was only an hour long was a crime. If it was given the time it needed, ad was allowed to be 2 hours long, the movie honestly would have been pretty good. But right now, it is just "ok". The time limit does heavily limit movie and the entire thing just feels rushed. So many scenes should have been 2-3 times longer than they should have been. Also, many of the characters never had a chance to bond with the other characters, so we end up with a bunch of people who act like they are best friends, but seemingly had no time to bond. The animation quality is... decent. Its nothing that is going to blow your mind, but does show that the movie maybe didnt have an amazing budget for animation. The fight scenes are actually pretty bad, the hunters move pretty wierd IMO, and... you know how in action movies there will be a jump-cut every time the actors punch? Thats basically what happens here. *monster attacks* JUMP-CUT *hunter attacks* JUMP-CUT. One scene will end with the monster flailing it's head in pain/recoil, then the movie will cut to a new angle, where the monster is walking menacingly as if it wasnt just smacked in the face. The way the movie was made, makes it so that ONLY monster hunter fans will understand or get any real enjoyment out of it. If you arent a monster hunter fan, you will just sit there going "what is happening?" and "What the f am i looking at". The writing quality isnt super amazing either. So, the hunters are trying to come up with a plan, but the writers dont clue the audience in on what the plan is. This results in the writers seemingly pulling solutions out of their ass, and kinda ruins any sense of tension, since they can just do anything, since the audience doesnt know the limits of what they prepared for. Lastly, Aiden's final solution to overcome the "villain" is completely unsatisfying, the writers never put an emphasis on this aspect of the village, so when Aiden executes his plan, I didnt go, OOHHHHH!!!! I went "oh, wtf. I think that should that thing off for like 10 seconds in the beginning on the movie.

Alatreon is known to exist but is an enigma because approaching it close enough for study has an almost 100% mortality rate what with how elementally unstable the monster is. On the other hand, Fatalis's records are only accessible by lower ranking hunters in a need-to-know basis because the Hunters Guild fears either a repeat of the past, or some reckless hunter seeking it for glory and ending up becoming plastered to its hide as armor instead.

The original comment is right, the hunter’s guild did burn their research on alatreon because the higher ups thought the monster was a myth.

This movie had the weirdest handling of death scenes that I have ever seen. Usually, inconsistent writing makes it so a death scene is either way too dramatic, or they try to make it into a tasteless joke. This was nothing like that. You could literally blink and not know the two biggest moments of drama even happened. I was wondering what happened to the blacksmith dude after he took a fire attack for 0.3 seconds, and they just go on, play some relieved music and a minute later mention that the guy dead, by the way. Mae's death I did not even notice, and thought they made a funeral for her kinsect before I even started catching on that she might be in a better place. The pacing was lightning fast throughout the whole movie, and all of this plays well into the point of the movie that we are part of nature like the monsters we hunt. But you would expect that an hour long movie will slow down at least to the extent that the game does when you cart, but no, it just keeps on going.

They definitely put in a lot of love into it as far as being faithful to the game. In fact I think this is the most faithful adaptions of anything ever. They even got the movement and attacks on the monsters down to a T and made a point to feature them. Honestly a series of this would be amazing. They just need to adjust the animation a bit and maybe fix the pacing issues (which maybe less of an issue as a series like you said) and the writing (just a little bit). It could be something really really great! The series would need to have more of an introduction into the world though so this can be successful with those who don't know anything about MH. Which might be one of the other downsides is that you probably won't enjoy this if you are not a fan. But I am totally fine with that.

Unfortunately Netflix UK didn’t have a Japanese dub, which I’d rather have just because it’s a bit more anime then. Overall I quite liked it. Too fast paced and the animation was a bit lacking at times, and it was cringey because it was obviously aimed at kids. The fight animation was overall pretty bad since most of the time the hunters were just swinging at air, I’d have liked to see more moves from the series like the heavenly blade dance. But besides that, it captured the tone of Monster Hunter almost perfectly. Especially the short speeches about balance with nature. The puns were the worst part of the series in my opinion. Especially the Alatreon pun. Even high ranking members of the guild have never heard of alatreon, and those who do know of it burn records of it and refuse to use its name as if it were Voldemort. So it’s a bit weird for some random village kid to be using it SPOILERS FROM HERE ON I did not expect that ending. After a film set up with the tone of a Disney show I did not expect two characters to be VIOLENTLY killed off. There’s more actual death in this kids show than the 16-rated videogame franchise it’s based on.

Even though the movie had a few issues here and there, I think this is the overall 100x better than the live action. First starter, the main character isn’t perfect which is great because it’s shows that he’s a rookie compared to the other Hunters while making it more believable. Also the monster are animated perfectly. Almost all the monsters use their signature attacks aside from Nerscylla but that’s was Juvenile. I think this movie was meant for fans of the franchise which is a good thing.

It managed to be marginally better then the actual live action, but I couldn't help but feel it was one of those "made for TV" kind of movies. Also there were 5 hunters, you just knew at least 1 of them was going to die. The most I could say is, it's fine, but that's about it. Also I'm pretty sure that Dante Basco (Prince Zuko) is the voice actor of Aidan.

I don't like that the fighting doesn't look as over the top as the gameplay. they didn't really use any iconic weapon animations, like no insect glaive helicopter or demon mode for dualblades. Anime usually has over the top fighting, so why not here?

I loved this movie, seeing people right out of monster hunter 4. Wanted more, cause yeah how short this is, does go by quick. Like in end of icebourne, how the general does the name drop of Adien, and how he asked to say hello to Julius back home, that made me smile when I first did it. Loved this movie, hope they do more in the future :)

It really had heart. The Lve Action movie was a soulless "Let's cash in on these stupid fanboys who like this stuff" cashgrab movie they made just for brand recognition. But this was a movie made for the fans to enjoy. Yeah it had a few issues, the animations weren't GREAT and because it was so short it moved very fast, but i was going "hey i recognize that" or "i got that reference" the whole way through and after watching it i was in a good mood for having watched it, unlike that other movie. And if anything, i hope they'll make this a series.

This. The live action was so stupid cuz it included stuff that was 100% in tangent with the source material. What fan of the franchise, in their right mind, likes getting constantly hammered with the idea of "miLiTaRy sUpeRIoRItY" which is a concept that's totally alien from its origin? There's also the supernatural power bullshit they forced on the Long Sword hunter. I don't even remember his name anymore but Mila Jovovich's husband deserves the flak he gets. Every game franchise he touches gets butchered cuz he likes pretending to be a faithful fan when in fact he's just a corrupted money grubbing prick. The idiot thinks flawless CGI and pandering will attract fans of MH but in reality, the reception towards this Netflix spin-off proves that being faithful to the source, despite glaring flaws, is clearly how you bring justice to a beloved work.

I JUST finished watching it and I loved it! I really enjoyed all the references, the fact that the monsters are ACTUALLY dangerous, and the english Dub is really good, I especially enjoyed Julius and Nadia! My one negative critique, and this is really nitpicking, is that every time they hit a monster it lacks Oomfh if you know what I mean. Like, you can hardly tell that they are hitting the monsters because there isn't really and sound that helps distinguish they're actually hitting it. Other than that though it was great for an hour long movie based on a video game. I'm really hoping that they continue making these movies like how they did with all the CG resident Evil movies.

As a story it was mediocre, but as a Monster Hunter movie it was really good. I loved details like one hunter shouting out details that actually would be useful things to look for in the game. The hunt in the dark forest had a bunch of clunky editing but the other fights was from good to amazing. A fun movie that really respect the source material

As a MH player I enjoyed it but couldn't see myself recommending it to someone without that connection. One big area for improvement would be the sound effects duriing fight scenes. It needed a more intense score to bring you into the moment and those sounds of steel and bone. Instead I just kept hearing grunts from the hunters that were much louder than everything else. I hope they make more and keep iterating into a better final product that I can show to a friend and say "this captures the feeling of hunting"

Definitely wish we could have had a series, but it was still an enjoyable watch. I didn’t know these characters going into it but it’s still very much a monster hunter story. If you’ve played the games I think you can appreciate the film for what it is. Just seeing the monsters in action was worth it alone imho.

It would have probably benefited from either being a bit longer or being made as a show imo. That way each character could be developed more, and people who haven’t played Monster Hunter 4 (such as myself) could still grow quite attached to each hunter. One thing I loved about the movie, though, is how the monsters themselves are portrayed.

Absolutely agree with what I see in the comments already. Only complaint I had was that it felt as though the movie would have been a lot better just with 10 min worth of downtime throughout the movie. It moves along too fast with no quiet moments. It almost seems that there was a requirement for to be less than 60 min. Of course, far from perfect, but it's far closer to the heart of what makes MH lovable. I do also love the allusion to "the rule" with the final fight and the consequences of it.

I surprisingly really enjoyed the movie. I do agree that some times the animation in action looks a bit odd. But other then that my one gripe was the length, at first I thought it was a show then I saw it was only a short movie, I genuinely want more. Mae and Nox were hands down my favorite characters.

I love the story and what they try to tell, the thing is, I kinda hate the movie because the director and the animators here is probably extremely green. The choreography, the cinematography, the animations are simply dreadful- it just reeks "cheaply made". As someone who understands animation, when I see the movie it's like seeing a bunch of interns who still doesn't understand the 12 basic animation principles was dunked with a big project from the production house and trying their hardest to meet the deadline. The red flag of the terrible animated movie is when we can objectively say that someone with no proper education on animation that learns independently from the internet could do better animation with SFM despite all they ever make is bloody hentai, and that broke my heart because I'm a fan of Julius and Ace Cadet, the story is not utterly terrible, and I feel like they deserve better. I'm sorry if I'm dunkin' too much the talents behind this movie but I'm just utterly disappointed. ON ADDITIONAL NOTE: I found the Monsters are well animated, it's the 100% well-done part of the movie, the modelling is also quite fine.

In my opinion, the amount of time given in the movie was way better than the other one by far. It had the heart, spirit and charm that is in Monster Hunter and the art style fit so well. Now if they actually ended up making a full ongoing series, it would be cool to base it on Freedom Unite, maybe with the Huntsmen when he was young and new with each episode around hunting each monster from start to finish, eventually leading to the tower itself with an elder dragon at the very end. Either way, this was more like what I wanted from a Monster Hunter movie. I was pleased with it.

I remember when Capcom announced this project way back in 2018. Honestly, this film was worth the wait. The attention to lore detail alone was amazing. I love how they connect plot elements of the game. Hopefully, we get a physical release of this movie because its going on my shelf with the MH games. This movie made me tear up and brought joy of being a MH fan. Major probs to this film.

Hola Gaijin Hunter, i was thinking in a new challenge, base on the movie, you can try it out if you want, here are the rules: -Quest can be done just one time -You cannot hunt alone, always have to play with someone else (online or local but that player must follow the same rules) -neither player can go back to the base camp in the middle of a quest (also you cannot use a farcaster, if you need more ammo ask your parthner for it) And the most important rule -you CAN'T die, if you die just once, you have to delete your hunter/character and start all over again, is like a yolo challenge Those are the rules for this Legends of the guild challenge, sorry for my broken inglish but i speak spanish, saludos desde chile 💪

I really liked the movie. As a series, they could have expanded and shown some things a lot better, but it was good. And somehow cute. It may haven't been perfect in some things, and was very fast in my eyes in some places in terms of the progress of the story, but I still liked it very much. Some parts really made me laugh. Would like to watch a series of this kind or another movie, just more from the monster hunter universe (but only good stuff, not like the other "movie" ...), even if it seemed to have been made for the “younger ones.” Is that even english? Idk x'D

Personally I thought it was atrocious... But I loved it anyway. The pacing was incredibly rushed, leading to utterly bizarre character dynamics where the state of character's mental conditions and interpersonal relationships flipped almost sentence to sentence. But it was so authentic and fun that it just made me wish they told it in 3 hours worth of episodes rather than force it in under 1 hour. The potential for something truly amazing is there and deserves to be given another shot by the same team with more budget and more time.

I have to agree with what you say. All the storyline is on point, the monster's habits and moves are what we have seen in the game. I also have to agree on the part that, the story moved too fast and the animations are a little bit janky. But overall I liked it so much.
