Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild

I've been a long time Monster Hunter fan and it's clear that some love went into this movie, the script is full of references to the game and in-jokes. The models all look great but the animation is janky and weirdly bouncy at times.

My main complaint is the story, things are just constantly happening and the pacing is way too fast. This leads to what should be emotional moments just falling flat and those moments themselves just being brushed aside because there's no time to linger on them.

If this was a series it might have had the time it needed to develop these characters more and get you to care for them. Not offensively bad, just mediocre.

The animation is not the best, especially for a movie made in 2021. Looks like a cut scene from a game made in 2010 or something.

Nothing has any weight, not the weapons, not the creatures nor the people. Everything moves so fast. Even when they are just talking, they have these crazy arm movements.

Also the pacing is all over the place.

This movie is leaving a lot left to be desired.

Had me laughing the entire time because it's just so extremely awful in every way imaginable.

Bad editing, rushed.

The sound mix it's awful.

The animation is mediocre.

The plot is ok.

The monster hunter ingredients are the best of the movie.

I would recommend it if only you are a fan of the VG and you are curious.

How come in 2021 images still look like 1990s videogames? Everything else evolved but not computer graphics?
