Why We Need a Sequel to the 2020 Monster Hunter Movie

From the silver screen to the unforgettable volume of games, Capcom’s “Monster Hunter” franchise has always been a crowd-puller, never failing to capture the thrill of its fitting name from legions of fans. That is why, the 2020 film adaptation, despite mixed reception, has caused a clamor for a sequel. This article presents an argument as to why we need a follow-up to the movie, bringing together an array of reasons – from its potential profitability to the overwhelming fan response.

When “Monster Hunter” landed on Netflix, it became a big hit! Lots of people were excited to see the movie, especially those who already loved the video game series it was based on. It was a huge success for Netflix, with millions of people watching it in its first few weeks. While it had a bit of a rocky start in theaters, being on Netflix gave it a second chance and a whole new audience to enjoy its action-packed battles against giant monsters.

In the ever-competitive world of entertainment, the Monster Hunter series has carved its niche, making it an influential player. With millions of gamers across the globe actively engaging with the game since its 2004 launch, its cinematic adaptation was always poised to attract a large audience. Despite its polarizing reviews, the movie served to introduce this behemoth franchise to a newer, largerVR audience to join the original faithful players. Another movie would not only satiate their hunger for more intense monster-hunting action but would also further expand the franchise’s influence and larger fan base.

While the 2020 film covered a significant portion of the acclaimed Monster Hunter lore, it still left many storylines half explored and unanswered questions unexplored. From the unfinished plot about the Admiral and the Fated Four, to the critical exploration of the legend of the heroic first Monster Hunter, there is much ground left undiscovered. A sequel provides the perfect opportunity to tap into this vast pool of source material,  allowing the grandeur of the story to shine in all its glory.

The movie while far from ideal, was a visual marvel, showcasing stunning graphics with intricately detailed creatures and captivating landscapes. Since its release, we have witnessed dramatic advancements in the realm of special effects and CGI. A sequel could capitalize on these technological breakthroughs, promising to deliver an even more immersive cinematic experience that could effectively deliver the intensity and thrilling unexpectedness of a Monster Hunter game encounter.

Finally, considering all these factors, a definitive sequel to the 2020 Monster Hunter movie, not only makes financial sense but also holds the potential to uplift the storytelling and immerse the audience even deeper into the  world of monsters and heroes conjured by Capcom. After all, sequels are not just about revisiting the familiar; they are also an avenue for exploration, evolution, and enhanced engagement. If executed brilliantly, the Monster Hunter movie sequel can prove to be a game-changer, solidifying the franchise’s place in the pantheon of enduringly popular entertainment worlds.
