Critics Consensus

This freewheeling adventure may be too daffy for some audiences, but flamboyant creature designs and an irrepressible sense of playfulness make Monster Hunt undeniably fun.

2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Devan Coggan Entertainment Weekly 01/25/2016

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. Go to Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com 01/22/2016
2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine 03/04/2020
7/10
It has a few misfired jokes and an occasional lapse in energy, but all up it is all tremendously good fun. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/05/2019
It's Monster Love for Monster Hunt! It's a pure delight! Go to Full Review J.R. Southall Starburst 01/18/2018
8/10
Those who manage to make it through the cultural differences will find Monster Hunt a charming, emotionally engaging and moreover intelligent film, one which will handsomely repay their suspension of some admittedly quite wilful disbelief. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jesus B @RT71254475 Mar 4 Me parece una película que representa bastante bien a China en cuanto a cultura y comedia. La película es interesante, enternecedora y hasta divertida, pero creo que no tiene un público como tal en mente ya que a pesar de que parece estar dirigida para un público infantil, tiene tintes demasiado orientados a un público mucho más adulto. A pesar de ello, es una película que me agradó y si bien no le di una buena nota fue por lo anterior y por el hecho que, para ser una película bastante reciente (2015), sus efectos no parecen muy ad hoc a la época y parecen más bien efectos de principios de los 2000. Tomando en cuenta lo anterior, sí puedo recomendarla a personas que les guste la cultura asiática, principalmente la china, y a aquellos que les divierte ver películas que mezclan la realidad y la fantasía. Al menos, vale la pena darle una oportunidad.
