Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Sara Stewart, New York Post: 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. Read more
Maggie Lee, Variety: Its technical wizardry and zippy, Hollywood-influenced storytelling smarts dwarf any brand of tyke-skewing entertainment China has ever come up with. Read more
Noel Murray, AV Club: Scene after scene of violent standoffs, narrow escapes, and weird-looking creatures-like Star Wars but with a lot more slapstick and fart jokes. Read more
Peter Keough, Boston Globe: [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. Read more
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. Read more
Charles Solomon, Los Angeles Times: "Monster Hunt" broke box office records in China, but American viewers may wonder why this confused and confusing adventure-comedy enthralled audiences there. Read more
Nicolas Rapold, New York Times: Some of this recalls Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West," minus the brilliance. Read more
Soren Anderson, Seattle Times: Director Raman Hui mixes martial-arts fights and slapstick comedy (lots of mugging by Jing) into a whimsical, fast-paced monster mash. Read more
Sherilyn Connelly, Village Voice: Raman Hui's Monster Hunt is a kid-friendly adventure fantasy that may be too slowly paced for its target demographic. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: 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." Read more
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post: "Monster Hunt" has visual appeal to spare, but the allure ends there. Read more
