Set in a world where monsters and humans co-exist, Monster Hunt 2 tells the story of Wuba, a baby monster destined to be king. Wuba, born to human parents, holds the key to uniting the human and monster realms. Can he evade the evil monster king looking to capture him while stopping an all-out monster civil war?
The Hollywood Reporter by Clarence Tsui
While the film is a much more powerful visual feast than the original Monster Hunt from two years ago, it offers little in terms of expanding the first film's themes or pushing the storyline significantly forward.
Monster Hunt 2 is so perfectly good-natured and so utterly nonsensical that it makes not-thinking-about-it basically an act of self-preservation, for which, bless its bouncing, gurgling, flolloping heart.
Screen International by John Berra
It’s not until the end credits roll that one realises that Monster Hunt 2 is essentially an amiable detour in a bigger story, or enterprise, since Wuba is no closer to fulfilling his destiny. Yet when you have a star of Tony Leung’s magnitude selling out with such panache, it seems churlish to complain.

Monster Hunt 2 is charming enough on a scene-to-scene basis that its success is worth noting.
