Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild

My god....this was horrible. Saw this on netchi--I mean Netflix. And this was just not my cup of tea as far as animations go. The movie is based off a video game that is pretty involved and cool to play if you have friends. And this might have been done in CGI or whatever format they are calling 3D films nowadays, but it had the quailty of a middle schooler's effort in writing a scripted story. I recommend seeing the real-time movie. That was not a work of art, but it was entertaining and held the attention.

This animation should have been rated-E for everyone. I guess I'm just spoiled on japanese animation because Final Fantasy: Advent Children kept me on the edge of my seat, and had me hitting the rewind button so I could watch an entire action sequence again. That decidedly did NOT happen with this animation. This animation had me pausing the movie to see how much time was left before it ended.

The voice acting is not abyssmal but it's definitely not worth what was paid to the actors. No one's voice seemed to match their character except for the black guy. lol Wait. I take that back. The old lady sounded like an old lady. As for the four other women in the animation, I strongly believe they all were voiced by one female.
The pacing was horrible too. In some instances the film was shoving tons of info at the viewer, and in other instances you mentally tripped because the characters would say the names of creatures without any indication of what made the creatures a nuisance or imminent threat. I think it was supposed to show the production company had knowledge of the game's lore, but the delivery made the lines seem more like senseless filler since they did not contribute to the main story directly.

This movie starts with a young guy who is not the most manly nor mature looking person, but is supposed to give off an air of a seasoned Hunter. He did not. He gave off no such air because he had zero facial hair. Not uncommon i...
