	Media	Author	Review
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A few flashes of amused chemistry between [Jovovich and Jaa] represent all the human interest in this unimaginative sci-fi actioner, but that doesn't mean (...) [it] won't please the director's fans"
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"The film rallies toward the end with a few genuinely spectacular images, but even its best scenes fail to justify a tedious first hour."
		Peter Debruge Variety	"Very little of 'Monster Hunter' makes sense, but it’s visually interesting at least and not un-fun to stream at home with a friend"
		Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"If making these movies were easy, more people would be doing it (...) [Anderson] is a dexterous director of set pieces, with an excellent sense of space and scale"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"One of 2020's worst films (...) Series fans will feel cheated by such a chintzy and incurious take on something they love"
		Kambole Campbell Empire	"Despite a muddled final act, 'Monster Hunter' is satisfyingly efficient, a quick-fire thrill-ride of creepy thrills, nasty kills, and of course, monster-hunting (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Zaki Hasan IGN	"'Monster Hunter' runs just over an hour and a half but feels about twice that long thanks to its listless, meandering plot devoid of a central focus or any meaningful world-building."
		Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"There’s inherent silliness to it all, highlighted by some cheesy writing. Yet you’re likely to have a blast anyway (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Pat Brown Slant	"[It] proves unable to sustain the fun of its total disregard for purported mainstream values like originality, character development, and verisimilitude (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
