Kraven the Hunter (2024)★ 5.8/10

This film doesn't even deserve a 500-word critique. It's simply outdated, mediocre, and overly verbose. By the time you stand up to leave, you feel as if it's two hours of your life wasted.

Well, it looks like Sony has finally managed to ruin its own Spider-Man universe. They’d rather lose money on films like Morbius, Madame Web, and now Kraven the Hunter, than make a Spider-Man 4 with Tobey Maguire.

Apart from a few standout fight sequences, the rest of the film is weighed down by clunky dialogue and awkward pacing. Neither the protagonist nor the supporting cast behaves in a way that feels logically consistent, which makes it hard to care about anyone involved.

The action isn’t impressive enough to hold interest, and the gangster drama elements are too undercooked to be effective. The film never really clarifies Kraven’s powers either—he seems slightly stronger and faster than average, but that’s about it. The entire narrative feels disjointed, like a string of unrelated scenes stitched together.

There have been five Sony Spider-Man Universe movies so far: VENOM 1-3, MORBIUS, and MADAME WEB. To me, they are in the range between fine and the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Now, the sixth (and thankfully final) instalment is KRAVEN THE HUNTER. Yet again, the filmmakers try and give a bad guy the chance to be good. This tells the origin story of yet another Spider-Man villain that doesn’t have Spider-Man in it. After the death of their mother, Sergei Kravinoff (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and his brother Dmitri (Fred Hechinger) get taken in by their ruthless crime lord with a weakness allergy father Nikolai (Russel Crowe). Sergei gets his powers in a dumb way, then he becomes the world’s greatest hunter. Throw in a few more baddies into the mix such as Rhino (Alessandro Nicola) and a guy literally called “The Foreigner” (Christopher Abbott, and you have one hell of a party. Oh yeah, there’s a love interest named Calypso (Ariana DeBose) who literally doesn’t need to be here. I actually had hope for this movie. When I heard it was going to be rated 14A I was like finally! A movie about a violent villain is actually going to be violent! I thought it would’ve started with VENOM, but whatever. To be fair, the violent action was entertaining in this one, despite the bad CGI. Some of the actors had fun, despite the horrible script. Given time, I could’ve written it better. It blows my mind how many talented actors signed up for this. ADR (Automated Dialog Replacement) is a pretty common practice in filmmaking, where they re-record dialog to make it sound better. Normally, it’s not noticeable, until now. Sometimes if you stare at people’s mouths while they’re speaking, the sound doesn’t even link with the dialog. The best part about KRAVEN THE HUNTER is the action, and the fact that this mediocre universe is finally coming to a whimpering end. Still, not as atrocious as MADAME WEB. Rest in pieces.

Después de un accidente de cacería cuando era adolescente, Sergei Kravinoff adquiere las habilidades de un león y dedica su vida a cazar criminales como un justiciero por cuenta propia. Pero un grupo criminal que quiere detenerlo secuestra a su hermano y le tiende una trampa.

buena pelicula

Bem, parece que a Sony finalmente conseguiu arruinar o seu próprio universo do Homem-Aranha. Eles preferem desperdiçar dinheiro em filmes como Morbius, Madame Web e agora Kraven, o Caçador, do que fazer um Homem-Aranha 4 com Tobey Maguire.

Este filme não merece nem uma crítica de 500 palavras. É simplesmente desatualizado, medíocre e excessivamente detalhado. No momento em que você se levanta para sair, você sente como se fossem duas horas de sua vida desperdiçadas.
