    Monster Hunter (Paul W.S. Anderson)

    Didn't even know this was coming.



    "Behind our world, there is another: a world of dangerous and powerful monsters that rule their domain with deadly ferocity. When Lt. Artemis (Jovovich) and her loyal soldiers are transported from our world to the new world, the unflappable lieutenant receives the shock of her life. In her desperate battle for survival against enormous enemies with incredible powers and unstoppable, revolting attacks, Artemis will team up with a mysterious man who has found a way to fight back."

    Also, getting transported from real world to fantasy land. Ugh. Does that happen in the games?

    Paul WS Anderson should just give up on these silly video game movies and deliver what all the fans have been asking for for 20 years now: a sequel to Soldier.

    This thing has been in development so long Monster Hunter has long since left behind any description as a "worldwide phenomenon." Even at its peak, that would have been generous, though I suppose it could have been much more popular internationally. This looks and sounds like I expected. Its moment has long passed.

    However, thank you corona for delaying the new Paul W.S. Anderson movie for as long as possible.

    I found it interesting reading that Milla has the highest on screen kill count in movie history. And I think number 2 is not even close.
    I'm not being dramatic, I just feel like I'm going to throw up my heart and my head is going to fly away like a bird.

    Dare I say this may be a better Paul WS Anderson offering than usual? Which is still kinda damning with faint praise.

    Reviews are out, and surprisingly enough it seems Paul W.S. Anderson has made a poignant and genuinely epic action adventure.

    Ok, maybe he hasn't but I just wanted to type that and see how it came across.

    It came across like a pack of lies lol. I'm looking forward to it, but have no illusions about what to expect. I think its genuinely adorable that he gets him and his wife paid to make schlock, good for them. I imagine these work areas are lighthearted and fun.
