Old_Nash Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) First (Leaked) teaser trailer Well... Smell like a Hellboy, but a bit of MiB Internacional Edited June 18, 2019 by Old_Nash Quote
Mazinger Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Hmm, that wasn’t all the impressive. My only exposure to the MH world is via Marvel VS Capcom:Infinite, but that looked a bit off. Quote
kajnrig Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Directed by perennial Resident Evil director Paul Anderson IIRC, hence why it stars his wife Mila Jovovich. Last I heard it was going to be a Gate-style story where a portal opens up and MH monsters start pouring through. The main characters are a modern military outfit who find their weapons ineffective and learn to fashion weapons from the monsters themselves in order to fight them. As a premise, it's better than it could be... is probably the most positive spin I can put on it. Quote

So it's more an unofficial live action adaptation for Gate: Thus the Japanese Self-Defense Force Fought There? Quote
Tking22 Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) I absolutely hate what this guy did with the Resident Evil films, I can't find a single positive thing to say about any one of those films, even for turn your brain off action schlock, they're frakking terrible. But, I loved the MK movie, it will always hold a special place in my heart, it was 90s as hell, and awesome. That all said, I am a MASSIVE Monster Hunter whore, I've played EVERY game in the series to over 100 hours each minimum, hundreds of hours on certain titles, and that Diablos looked fantastic, and like Diablos. Tony Jaa too? I'm in, if even just for the expensive CG versions of what look like really accurate takes on some of my favorite MH monsters. The premise of a gate works for me, the MH games themselves have little to no story, with the story really only being highlighted in the newest game, Monster Hunter World, which this film apparently takes the majority of it's inspiration from, every game is mostly about you being a random hunter that constantly needs new shoes so you have to find and kill bigger meaner monsters, over and over.

Bolt Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Looks interesting, at least some monster eye candy.. Quote
sqidd Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Another missed opportunity. The book series Monster Hunter International could absolutely be the next break out franchise but no one is taking the risk. Probably not Avengers big. But it could be Matrix big. At a minimum it could be a killer TV (Netflix or something) series. Now that I think about it a bit it would be better as a TV series. That goes for most stuff though. Quote
Old_Nash Posted November 19, 2020 Author Posted November 19, 2020 Chinese trailer. With more monsters and weapons Quote

Tking22 Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 Mouscular Chef? Now that's Monster Hunter! I'm now cautiously optimistic. Quote
