I don't expect anyone was expecting real world soldiers in a Monster Hunter movie.

Huh that doesn't look good. Well it's from the director of the Resident Evil movies so I already expected it to be bad.

Just give me Gore Magala and Zinogre and it won't a total waste of time.
BTW, that Black Diablo looks good definetelly the best part of the teaser.

Oh god! The generic trailer music coupled by "soldier" talk in a Monster Hunter media. To think this is really happening...

The first line in the trailer perfectly articulates my feelings about this.

"What the hell is that"

Anderson, a man who's so bland he's incapable of being genuinely entertaining or entertainingly bad. It's amazing how he can never see the potential in the source material

Can't wait till the director writes a apologize msg.

How hard is it to tell an interesting story in the MH universe? Stuff like this is why Hollywood deserves its slow and painful demise.

a budget of 60 million, sounds paltry, cause it is. The film being written and directed by Anderson, as well as starring Anderson's wife, has cash grab written all over it. There is nothing in here worth seeing, not drunk, not high, not on acid, nor in a coma.

They had a story worth telling in Monster Hunter Stories. An all ages picture using the story line from MHS would have been far better than this. But see, if they did that, then Anderson couldn't cast his wife in the main role, nor take all the credit for the screen play. This is just a cynical exercise in taking the studio money and running.

Had the volume down and misheard the opening lines:

"What the hell is that?"
"A MISTAKE!"

On the topic on modern military weapons, though:

Quote:
the soldiers are shocked to discover that this hostile and unknown environment is home to enormous and terrifying monsters immune to their firepower.


That's why Milla's using these weapons in other promotional material.





Doesn't mean it'll be any good. But it's worth clarifying that it's not just Gate.

Yeah we already knew that. I just think that they put a really lame first teaser, It would have been better if it at least showed a bot of what Monster Hunter is.

Come on at least a few slashes with the iconic weapons (pls not just those ugly world's bone weapons.)

Huh that doesn't look good.

But yes, nothing I've seen has looked impressive in any way.

Yeah I did. I like to seed discord as a hobby Twisted Evil

The first leaked view told us that the movie was going to show at least part of the modern society.

But on other hand it also showed that the monsters models look good.

The movie is going to be slaughtered critically on that premise alone.

But I had zero hopes for this film to begin with.
