Rodney Barnes (472 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Monster Hunter World in Video Games

One of the Best Multiplayers
I did not play any of the first Monster Hunter game. My son played it a lot and loved it. He talked me into getting Monster Hunter World and I am glad he did. You are an elite hunter trying to keep the dangerous monsters from taking over. At the same time however, the Monsters are essential to the ecosystem. It is your typical level up type of game but it delivers on many fronts. I love the story and the so called technology of this universe. If you have trouble taking down a monster....no worries. You can call for backup and have a four player team to go on a hunt. There is not a lack of anything to do. You can gather different types of plants, elements and yes bugs to help craft gear. The only thing I don't like is the time you have to wait to call for help. You can't call for backup on the story missions until after a cut scene. Most times the monster is in your face and attacking you when you can call for backup. I could go and on about this game but I won't. It's worth buying....you won't be disappointed

I am a big fan of the Monster Hunter games, That is a consistently good game series. This movie was good in the sense that it stayed true to a lot of elements in the game, but disappoints in story mode. Instead of this being a straight fantasy movie that takes place in the game world, they made it a dimensional crossover into the Monster Hunter world. Jovovich and her team of Army Rangers are looking for a lost team that got pulled into the other world by a storm. They all except her meet their end due to the creatures of that world. The dialogue between Jaa and Jovovich in the movie was tiresome. In the sense he didn't talk English and they were communicating through single words and gestures. It was not until you meet Pearlman's character until you get more good dialogue. The fight scenes and the action was very good. Milla is a badass as always. The ending was set up for sequel. The only thing that I think needs to be done is to get another director and someone else to do the Soundtrack for this franchise. I thought the music was terrible. If you love playing Monster Hunter...then give this movie a chance.
