There are two kinds of people in the world: those who enjoy watching Milla Jovovich kick the crap out of supernatural beasties and those who don’t. If you already know which one you are, then you know exactly how you’ll receive her latest film,
Monster Hunter. The film, based on the popular Capcom video game, reunites Jovovich with her husband/director Paul W.S. Anderson. The duo previously made 6 films in the
Resident Evil franchise, offering up stylish and schlocky B-movie delights over the course of nearly two decades.
Luckily for me, as a connoisseur of
Resident Evil and the Jovovich/Anderson oeuvre, I was primed for
Monster Hunter: au secours!

For roughly two-thirds of its running time, the big-screen video game adaptation “Monster Hunter” feels like an attempt to answer a question no one has asked: What would the “Jurassic Park” movies be like if they were drained of all sense of wonder? The film rallies toward the end with a few genuinely spectacular images, but even its best scenes fail to justify a tedious first hour.
Written and directed by the veteran genre movie impresario Paul W.S. Anderson, “Monster Hunter” stars the battle-tested action-adventure actor Milla Jovovich, who also anchored Anderson’s “Resident Evil” films. She brings her usual spark to the role of Natalie Artemis, a no-nonsense U.S. Army officer who is leading her troops on a desert mission when a sandstorm transports them to another dimension dominated by enormous, predatory, dinosaur-like animals.
