Director

Certificate

Running Time
103 mins

Resident Evil series creator Paul W.S. Anderson teams up with his missus, Milla Jovovich, for the fifth time for this adaptation of yet another computer game franchise. This one’s about a US Army Ranger (Jovovich) who pops through a handy portal into a parallel world where gargantuan monsters are obligingly waiting to be hunted.

As with vitually all of Anderson’s other films, the effects are top-notch but the story leaves something to be desired. “Monster Hunter is mostly a mindless blur of action, held together by the slenderest threads of dialogue and plot – and exactly what many viewers will be looking for,” is the Rotten Tomatoes summation.
