Trivia
Director Paul W.S. Anderson cast his wife Milla Jovovich as the lead in Monster Hunter following the success of their previous collaborations on the Resident Evil film series. This was the sixth time Anderson directed Jovovich in leading roles, after four Resident Evil films and one Three Musketeers movie.

Goofs
During the Rangers' initial contact with the solitary sand monster, one soldier is repeatedly firing a belt-fed automatic weapon at the creature, however while you see multiple muzzle flashes, the ammunition belt is stationary and not feeding through the weapon.

Quotes
Marshall: This shit is officially above my pay grade.

Crazy credits
There is a scene after the first set of credits involving a monster being fought and someone observing the fight from above.

Alternate versions
Not long after its theatrical release in China, the film was pulled from cinemas and subsequently banned, because a joke in the film was deemed insulting ("What are my knees? What kind of knees are these? Chi-knees"). This joke has since been removed from all versions of the movie.

lower expectations

Ranger Artemis (Milla Jovovich) leads her soldiers on a mission to find a missing squad. They are hit by a mysterious lightning sandstorm and get transported to another world. It's a world of monsters and monster hunters like a nameless local hunter (Tony Jaa).

Apparently, this is based on a video game. I'm not familiar with it. Quite frankly, I'm not familiar with most newer video games but I am familiar with filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson and his wife Milla Jovovich. Expectations are low and this movie barely clears them. Jovovich is fine. She's familiar with this type of action fantasy but I really wish they didn't have a sing along. Compared with other video game inspired movies, this is fine but that's not saying much. I would like for Artemis to start with better chemistry with Tony Jaa's character. It may be better to keep T.I. for a little longer. I don't know if The Admiral is a character from the game but he really shouldn't speak English. At first, I thought that he came from our world. That would have been better or else, he should just not speak English. All in all, I have no need to watch this again. Once is more than enough.
