Leave your thoughts about Monster Hunt.
| New York PostSara StewartIf you’re willing to overlook some monstrously big plot holes and logic gaps, this half-animated Chinese blockbuster is an agreeably bonkers, occasionally disturbing cinematic ride. |
| StarburstJ.R. SouthallThose who manage to make it through the cultural differences will find Monster Hunt a charming, emotionally engaging and moreover intelligent film, one which will handsomely repay their suspension of some admittedly quite wilful disbelief. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughHe (Hui) does not achieve the surreal grandeur of Hayao Miyazaki’s animated films, but he has enough imagination and talent to engage his audience on its own level. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayMonster Hunt combines a lot of qualities from the other items on the all-timer’s list: epic action, elaborate special effects, broad comedy, and a style that could best be described as “exhausting.” |
| The Film StageJared MobarakThere’s a charm to this that makes Monster Hunt worth seeing if only for curiosity’s sake. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn oddball mélange of action, slapstick, sentimentality and ghoulishness, all wrapped up into one big, galumphing package... more a curiosity than a delight, but the adventurous might want to give the sweet-and-sour dish a try. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian Orndorf"Monster Hunt" is an acquired taste, but those able to dial into its special frequency of fantasy and pandemonium are rewarded with a breezy, amusing extravaganza. |
| New York TimesNicolas RapoldSome of this recalls Stephen Chow’s “Journey to the West,” minus the brilliance. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsChinese blockbuster Monster Hunt is a sappy, crowd-pleasing, tonally wonky fantasy-adventure/comedy that pits dorky-looking monsters against over-acting cornball comedians/monster-hunters. |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoChinese fantasy mega-hit has lots of martial arts action. |
