Monster Hunt Ratings & Reviews
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The movie is a mixed bag, but one filled with imagination and ingenuity, and as such as nuts as Monster Hunt proves to be it's also just enjoyable enough to make dealing with its wildly perverse lapses into pandemonium worth enduring.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
There's a charm that makes Monster Hunt worth seeing if only for curiosity's sake.
Baret News
Kam Williams
Kid-friendly fare amusing enough to entertain adults, too, provided their brains are on pause!
Nerdist
Kyle Anderson
The effort into the sets, costumes, and cinematography are immaculate and everything is done for fun. Just don't expect Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
Entertainment Weekly
Devan Coggan
The plot is even more nonsensical than it sounds, but the monsters' high-energy antics and the humans' martial-arts skills make for a delightfully bizarre adventure romp.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
An oddball mlange 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.
CinemaBlend
Gregory Wakeman
While its world is set-up quickly and the spectacular visual effects immediately sparkle and impress, Monster Hunt soon disintegrates into mayhem.
Common Sense Media
S. Jhoanna Robledo
Chinese fantasy mega-hit has lots of martial arts action.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
This film is pleasantly cheesy, and probably more interesting than anything that's currently being marketed to your not-so-picky kids. Try it, they'll like it.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Some of this recalls Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West," minus the brilliance.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The film is far from perfect, but it's certainly ambitious, often entertaining and, compared to the feeble competition from new American films of the moment, a singing, dancing, stomping and chomping "Citizen Kane."
Los Angeles Times
Charles Solomon
"Monster Hunt" broke box office records in China, but American viewers may wonder why this confused and confusing adventure-comedy enthralled audiences there.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
Director Raman Hui mixes martial-arts fights and slapstick comedy (lots of mugging by Jing) into a whimsical, fast-paced monster mash.
Blu-ray.com
Brian 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.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
[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.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
"Monster Hunt" has visual appeal to spare, but the allure ends there.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Scene after scene of violent standoffs, narrow escapes, and weird-looking creatures-like Star Wars but with a lot more slapstick and fart jokes.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
If 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.
Village Voice
Sherilyn Connelly
Raman Hui's Monster Hunt is a kid-friendly adventure fantasy that may be too slowly paced for its target demographic.
Variety
Maggie Lee
Its technical wizardry and zippy, Hollywood-influenced storytelling smarts dwarf any brand of tyke-skewing entertainment China has ever come up with.
