What to Know

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.

Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 16, 2016 Full Review Devan Coggan Entertainment Weekly 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. Rated: B- Jan 25, 2016 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 22, 2016 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine It has a few misfired jokes and an occasional lapse in energy, but all up it is all tremendously good fun. Rated: 7/10 Mar 4, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens It's Monster Love for Monster Hunt! It's a pure delight! Nov 5, 2019 Full Review J.R. Southall Starburst 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.

Wolfgang G Monster Hunt ist eine 3D- Fantasy- Action Komödie von Raman Hui… Menschen und Monster haben in ihren getrennten Welten gelebt, aber nach der Geburt von Wuba… Ein episches Fantasy-Abenteuer, eine gut verpackte Familienunterhaltung, die voll durchgeknallt und liebenswert ist… Die ihre Originalität von den erstklassiger CG-Animation erhält… Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/10/23 Full Review robert p What a really screwed up Movie this was, it's got everything you could imagine from magic, monsters, love story, and fighters that are ranked by tokens from 1 to 10. I do not know if there is a Monster Hunt 2 but I am going to search for it. Also, the special effects from the monsters to magic is great also, thus my *4 & 1/2* star rating!!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a wacky movie, which of course makes it hard to judge. It's definitely not an action movie, I'll just say that Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Liam D The Movie is strange with a musical number and a Birth scene but it's cute with solid effects and fight sequences Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/21 Full Review adam b Directors cut: Ben dn Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member i extremely enjoyed this, it had everything, It made me laugh, It made me cry. It had action/Fantasy/family drama with a love story. i could not wait to see the second. i am totally looking forward to a 3rd movie fingers crossed ;) #baby Groot & Wuba should hang out##AWSOME## Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
