Yeah, I´m not really feeling hopeful towards this. As it has been said here before, movies based on video games are rarely good, Sure, I might be wrong, but...

MH doesn´t have much story to begin with, true, so just how badly screwed up the story might be is another debate for another day. I´m leaning as well on the possibility that the writing is going to leave a lot to be desired but we will get some spectacular effects. Even though special effects alone can´t really save a really badly written movie. That was my main concern with this year´s remake of The Jungle Book: awesome effects from trailer one but I was expecting the story to be lacking, especially since it was based on the animated 60´s movie rather than the actual book (yes, I much prefer Kipling´s tone to the animated adaptation). But that movie actually turned out to be surprisingly good for me, and better than the version it was remaking.

With all this being said, however... I´m definitely going to watch it, regardless of the reviews. :P Even if it turns out to not be as good as the games, I just won´t pass up the chance of seeing the monsters on the theaters.
