MH Movie: Thoughts?

[KSHOUKII]

Another weird question from good ol- KSHOUKII

Honestly I'm a bit on edge since remembering that the movie exists gave me anxiety.
The most I know is that it's an isekai based around MHW and it looks like Field Team Leader will be accompanying our main lead.

Not too excited about the plot, but I'll see it anyways when it comes out.

But what about you guys? You seeing it? Why? Not seeing it? Also why? Let's discuss 🤔🤨

So here's the problem, a hunt has a maximum time of 50 minutes, even with multiple monsters in it, and I mean, if you save your loadouts, prep shouldn't take more then 5 minutes, 10 if we are really generous

This movie is gonna be longer then an hour, and that just shows you it will only feature noob hunters ;D

Movie will be one Diablos hunt lmaoo

Judging from the early trailer, I'm not giving this movie a penny.

I am not sure if it will be good though.

It will likely be a bit like Jurassic Park.

I read that the plot is supposedly gonna involve some form of dimensional or time travelling where the main character has to stop the monsters from coming to our world through a portal or something.

Basically, real life modern weapons are likely going to be in play and to save costs on building the filming set, it will likely have a large part of the movie in real life locations or in Wildspire Waste.

So, my guess is it is gonna turn out to be Jurassic Park with guns.

Oh, man...when I read that synopsis a while back, I thought somebody was pulling a prank. And isn't the guy who made the Resident Evil movies making this one too (it was either that, or Jovovich was starring in it, I forget, I know it was something RE related :P). IDK how I feel about this...I mean, I've knocked on movies I ended up enjoying (Child's Play and Pet Sematary were guilty pleasures in the end) but even a diehard RE fan like me won't vouch for the flicks.

I assume, like many, that it will be bad. People are gonna watch it anyway tho lol.


I'm more curious about what's happened with that animated short they were working on :/

It doesn't look that terrible, I would watch it, but I would be too embarrassed to be seen watching a movie about a game.

A movie based on a video game is essentially just a long, unskippable cutscene with no gameplay to speak of.
That might make it a Game of the Year contender from many of the mainstream gaming sites.

Not to be unfairly negative, but I think the odds it's anything but really bad are very low. It's a cold day in hell if it's even tolerable for people who aren't hardcore into the series. It's also not the kind of game that people have attachment to because of story or characters. It's really the worst possible kind of game to make a movie of.

If Warcraft couldn't make a good movie after so many years in development I truly think it's next to impossible for a Monster Hunter movie to be good.

It's just gonna be another piece of Hollywood drab. The movie takes place In the modern day so they wouldn't have to work hard or spend much on making props, on top of that they can do Jeep product placements. It's going to be a Monster Hunter movie mostly in name and considering the director, It's going to be an incoherently hilarious trainwreck to watch.

You can't get carves off of movie footage so most MH fans will have little use for it.

Yea I've seen it
It looks okay
It's the plot itself that doesn't sit right with me. Like Tony Jaa is Field Team Leader and it looks like he spends the whole film with Mila
When in game he is with you for three quests then has his own stuff to deal with like working with the commander on new targets and monsters of interest. Honestly it would make more sense if Handler and Seeker went with Mila and Jaa just showed up now and then. The synopsis even brought up "mysterious nomad" for Jaa's character and I was a bit confused. But again, getting nitpicky because that is the one thing I'm hard focused on

It just seemed like Paul was super into World when he was getting interviewed on the latest film updates. He even brought up Wildspire Waste in it "desert clip is supposed to be the Wildspire), hell even Handler and Admiral are there.

He could have used 4U since I personally think it had so much to offer in terms of story. Or the lore of the universe itself like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Paul wth. He says he really loves the series and is a long-time follower of it (he played the original PS2 MonHun, he says), so I was a bit confused since he chose MHW but I guess since MHW was alot of people's entry point into the series it kinda made sense? But man, a wormhole???

Yeah, sadly I don't think any of the backdrop of the series will be explored. I think it's just going to be a MHW love letter as it's been such a huge hit that has drawn new players. Not all doom and gloom though, dumb movies can still be fun and there's a non-zero chance that even if the movie isn't deep it's still enjoyable. Seeing Xeno'Jiva in movie budget CGI would certainly be a sight to behold. Here's hoping.
