The film doesn't understand a single character it tries to adapt to screen and the whole movie often feels created by AI. pic.twitter.com/SVGStU1kER
#KravenTheHunter is the perfect example to teach on film schools of how badly messed up your editing, story and performances. There’s only one good action sequence, but awful stuff. Glad this universe is ending. pic.twitter.com/KXCrMIPYQx

KRAVEN THE HUNTER is one of the most souless movies ever made. Even JC Chandor has made something so soulless and generic. "Kraven with a K"#KravenTheHunter pic.twitter.com/bpLqeUIUwO

A big ol bucket of NAH. While I liked the action, it cutaway from it so quick one didn’t get to enjoy it! AWFUL acting, terrible script and a waste of Aaron Taylor Johnson, who I actually enjoyed in the role! Wayyyy too quick, not a great story… farewell. pic.twitter.com/is3HBwTLXh
Sony's Spider-Man Universe doesn't go with a bang, but a whimper.#KravenTheHunter is clichéd at all turns. ATJ tries to make the most of it, yet the script holds it back. Action is a bit fun, but it's muddled with much pompous exposition.

#KravenTheHunter is a knockout! Aaron Taylor-Johnson embodies Kraven with his physique, charisma, and raw savagery. The R-rating pays off big time. This film is bloody, raw, and brutal while offering a story that does this iconic villain justice.

Kraven the Hunter is the visceral, action-packed origin story of how and why one of Marvel's most iconic villains came to be. Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays Kraven, a man whose complex relationship with his ruthless father, Nikolai Kravinoff (Russell Crowe), starts him down a path of vengeance with brutal consequences, motivating him to become not only the greatest hunter in the world, but also one of its most feared.
J.C. Chandor is directing the movie from a script by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Iron Man), and it also stars Ariana DeBose as Calypso, Russell Crowe as Nikolai Kravinoff, Fred Hechinger as Chameleon, Alessandro Nivola as an unknown villain, Levi Miller, and Catch-22 star Christopher Abbott as the main villain, The Foreigner.
Kraven the Hunter movie in theaters nationwide on December 13th, 2024.
