Paul W.S. Anderson adapts yet another video game into a feature film with Monster Hunter. The story followers an American Army unit that is transported to another world that’s full of giant monsters that they must do battle with in order to survive. Starring Milla Jovovich (of course), Tony Jaa, and Ron Perlman, the cast isn’t too bad, but the performances are phoned in at best; except for Jovovich, who does her usual action-hero shtick. And while the CGI is pretty good and features some interesting creature designs, it all feels like mindless video game action. B-movie shlock, Monster Hunter has some entertaining monster fights, but it’s all rather pointless and goes nowhere.
