Went in not knowing much about it. Only that everyone seems to really like it. I left the theater with a smile on my face and I had a great time while watching it. So funny, good fight scenes, and a really good and interesting story. I really enjoyed the movie and cannot wait till my friends watch it. Defiantly going to get it on DVD when that comes out and convince them to watch it.

I am a fan of the video game series. Have been for years. When I heard they where making a movie I got excited to see how they would use the characters from the game to build a story and what monsters they would fight. This movie has 0 story to it. The characters have 0 background to them. The main character has a ring from loved one that she keeps in a case in her pocket so you know she has people back home and thats all you learn about for any of the characters. Also 30 minutes of the movie is the main character fighting the hunter she runs into. Honestly they spent more time on that fight than all the monster fightering combined. Felt like they spent so much time on her with the hunter and them planning to get around the Diablos that they had to rush the rest of the movie. All the story is in the movie is oh tower with lightning, might be portal. They run into the captain he takes them there and then they fight Rathalos and movie ends. Thats it. I literally told you everything that happens in the movie and I don't feel like I spoiled anything. Theres literally nothing to spoil because there is literally no story at all. I knew the movie was bad going into it and I still came out disappointed. The trailers for the movies coming out soon that played before the movie had more story and feeling in them than the actual movie I was there to see. (A better way to do it would have been to start at a base camp in the game, doesn't have to be as big as the one from world. The story would be they are settling in the land and the monsters are there making it difficult. The main character could be a kid wanting to show he can join the main team of hunters, and shows him practicing since he was young. There could be a problem with a big monster that needs to be dealt with but the main monster team is busy and the kid with his palico and his buddy with his palico could step up and go on the mission to prove themselves. They set out to track down the monster and they could run into other monsters on the way and have an adventure building up to the climax where they fight the big main monster. They kill it and someone in a flying ship comes and takes the body away to use to make weapons and armor and to take them home. They go back and party when someone comes in panicking about a new big monster. The 2 guys look at each other then the palicos. Smile and then run off to go help. End credits.) Basically basing it off of a mission from the games. Would have been so much better. The whole bring people from earth thing is so over used and dum at this point. The game already has good characters and story why not use that.
