I really liked the intros from MH3/3U. At least when the monsters used a "random attack" (ie. Gobul, Volvidon), it was for an actual purpose, like going after a prey monster.

The intros from FU and earlier? Total crap. Those monsters really DID do "random attacks". Take Khezu's intro for example, doing an electric shock for absolutely no reason. Or Tigrex, charging at the camera for no reason.

I think you people are calling 3U's intros bad because you're comparing them to the intros in 4U, which incorporate the hunter into the scene. Doing that allows the producers to come up with a whole new variety of intro scenarios. Still, MH3/3U's intros weren't bad at all, they just look less "involved" when you compare them to the ones from 4U.
