I thought I was the only one.

What is going on in this movie? Time travel?

Hype rising.

From what I've heard, it's like the anime GATE in which military dudes find a portal and end up in monster hunter world.

I wonder how they'll go from military issue clothing to just monster hunter gear, will they buy it in a shop? How do they know how to wield huge weapons? Is there gonna be some carving and crafting? This will be a beautiful train wreck.

As a MonHun vet of over at least 4000 hours in all games, I feel like a mockery is being made of the franchise.

Looks like it was shot in some non discript eastern Europe country over a couple of weeks ala a Millennium Films release :/

I don't know why but Tony's face looks shopped on.

So we're going to see Milla keep missing her charged attacks right?

Oof... just realized this is a Paul W.S. Anderson movie. I should have known since Milla Jovovich is starring. I'm gonna wait to watch this on an airline.

I mean come on guys, do you really think it's practical to try and have a 10 foot long greatsword for a movie? It's fine for what it is.

It's a movie whereby the source material has you repetitively hitting giant animals for almost an hour until it dies then carving lance which is in fact a giant swordfish.

Go all in with it or don't lol

The posters completely miss the mark. Look at all Monster Hunter box art. How dynamic and intense they are with a player character going against a flagship monster. This open barren poster with the character tucked in the corner doesn't sell me on it. Fucking show me a MONSTER if it's gonna a be called Monster Hunter.

Should've gone with a poster like Tri.

Expecting this to be trash of the worst kind, but who knows, if they get the creatures right it might be worth it for just that alone. But so far we've seen exactly zero monsters, lol.

If they don't have Hunting Monsters and carving them up to make new gear, the film will be a failure.

Why the fuck does he have an M4 Carbine in a movie thats supposed to be a movie based on Monster Hunter with big ass swords and bows?

That's like making a movie based on Final Fantasy but with the only weapons being small knives. It just feels so wrong, and not in a good way.
I mean, ignoring the movie stuff, bowguns are advanced enough to be handheld gatling guns, so it's not like the tech isnt there

also MH is a post apocalyptic universe why is the military lady going to an alternate dimension instead of the future

you know... the real stars of this franchise are the monsters... not humans... the posters should be nothing but different monsters with a short explanation of the monster

edit: maybe they aren't showing the monsters because I bet there's only 1 monster and if they show it they'll spoil it.

At best we get a decent MH movie, at worse we get a hilariously bad video game movie that YouTubers can make fun of for decades to come.
