Monster Hunter: Legends Of The Guild Film Review

 


Netflix fans the company has been absolutely killing it as of late especially when it comes to their animated output which regardless of quality their animated output has always gotten alot people on the internet / online talking and well now the company is back yet again. With yet another new animated film and so join me as I review the newest animated film that's being released by Netflix Capcom with the film in question being called simply just "Monster Hunter: Legends Of The Guild" enjoy.

The plot of this film is an amateur monster hunter called Aiden finds out from a more experienced monster hunter called Julius and so both Aiden , Julius and some more monster hunters called Nadia , Mae and Ravi have just a few short days in order to fully protect Aiden's village from the dragon's warpath. Now then in terms of what I personally thought about the plot of this very / particular film / movie in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the plot of this very / particular film / movie was rather entertaining and as well as being very / fully engaging but I do very strongly feel infact the plot of this very / particular film / movie was rather rushed in parts.  


Starring in this film is the always great and the always super freaking talented Dante Basco as Aiden , Erica Lindbeck as Lea , Brando Eaton as Julius and Karen Strassman as Genovan and Ebbi. Also starring in this very film is Stephen Kramer Glickman as Nox , Brian Beacock as Navid , Katie Leigh as Elder Daazeel , G. K. Bowes as Nadia , Jay Preston as Mitul , Ben Rausch as Gibson , Caroline Caliston as Mae and Dan McCoy as Ravi.

Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular film in all honest I in all honesty thought / felt that the acting that's featured / presented to to us in this very / particular film was at best OK. Which is a shame because this film does in all honesty have some really good voice actors who do in turn turn in some really good performances it's the acting of the villagers that lets the acting in this film down since alot of the voice acting for the villagers at least is really freaking bad but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest honest opinion anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this film is Base FX and The Monk Studio and in all honesty i've never even heard of any of these two animation studious which is a shame due to / because of what i'm going to say next. This is because of the fact that I really did like the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular film and even tho the animation look a bit dodgy in some places the overall quality of the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular film was indeed really freaking high quality animation in my opinion anyways / at least.
 

Now then incase you are wondering the answer is yes this is film is so much /very easily better the the 2020 film Monster Hunter. This is simply because not only is this film very fun to watch but it's actually got an actually good story behind it / to tell which pure and simply wasn't / was not the case for the 2020 live action Monster Hunter film which is a shame because unlike this film the 2020 live action Monster Hunter film has the stunning Milla Jovovich and well having the very stunning Milla Jovovich starring / appearing in your film is always a good thing in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then there are a few things that I personally didn't like about this film the first of which being that for a film that's called Monster Hunter there are very little actual monsters in this film. Granted yes there are some monsters in this film but for a film that's called Monster Hunter you expect there to be alot more actual monsters then there actually are in my opinion anyways / at least and the other thing that I didn't like like about this film is the fact that this film just felt rushed which is something that I will be getting into more later on in this very review because it is such a big issue in this film in my opinion anyways / at least.  


In terms of what I thought about the actual monster designs for this film in all honesty I in all honesty thought that the monster designs that are featured / presented to us in this very / particular film are pretty average / basic at best. This because there's very little to no creativity in the designs for the monsters that we actually get to see in this film but when we do get to see a cool looking monster it really is something to behold it's just a shame then that we have to sit through seeing numerous bad looking to OK / average looking monster designs just to see one actually good looking monster design in my opinion anyways / at least.

Now then this film has a shockingly short grand total running time of exactly fifty eight minuets and fifty three seconds and well this short running time is a huge issue for me personally. Since you very easily could have had this film come in at least one hour and thirty minuets this is because the plotline / storyline for this film could very easily cover that one hour and thirty minuet running time but with the film being as short as it is it does mean that alot plot points and plotlines / storylines get rushed all because this film has to hit a a certain plot point by a certain time and so in this case I honestly did indeed wish that this film was alot more longer just so all of the things that that i've just mentioned / talked about could happen more organically and not feel rushed at all but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honesty opinion anyways / at least.


Now then since this film is being listed as an action film that means that there are actual action scenes / action sequences in this very / particular film and that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action scenes / action sequences that are featured / presented to us in this very film and well just like with what I thought about the acting that's in this film the action that's featured / presented to us in this very / particular film is at best OK. This is because the action that's seen in this film starts to feel repetitive and with the story feeling very rushed in parts it made it very hard for to get into alot of the action sequences / action scenes that are in this film in my opinion anyways / at least.  


Overall this film is very mixed bag of affairs for me personally since for every one thing that the film gets right it then goes and gets two more things in a row wrong but like I said this film is easily better then the 2020 live action Monster Hunter film which was called simply just Monster Hunter. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very / particular film in this very / particular review and that means that this film gets a grand score of a freaking 5.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I got personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Descendants fandom wiki page , the official The Witcher fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from the actual film its self being Google Images this is simply because Google Images actually has a wide varitity of images from this film all of which are currently featured / up and on Google Images right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition.
