When a monster queen gives birth to a cute prince, the child faces an immediate threat from other fantastic creatures and the humans who hunt them.

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.

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

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-

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

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

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.

Rated: 8/10

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…

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!!!!

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
