  "I've been quite generous in how I've received (the apparently now finished) <em>'Sony’s Spider-Man Universe'</em>, but even I can't give you any positives for this one. <em>'Venom'</em> is its peak, though I genuinely enjoyed <em>'Madame Web'</em> (don't @ me) and even (the not good) <em>'Morbius'</em> didn't overly bother me. <em>'Kraven the Hunter'</em>, however, did well and truly bore me. Aaron Taylor-Johnson offers a glimmer of hope, but this makes for a looooong 2hrs 7mins (why that long, I have no idea). The first few scenes, whilst nothing exceptional, are actually perfectly OK - I thought so, anyway. Though pretty much from the introduction of a young Calypso (no hate on Ariana DeBose btw, I like her and she tries) the movie quickly spirals. The characters of Russell Crowe and Alessandro Nivola (he, too, tries) are, to put it kindly, rather irritating. Christopher Abbott's role has some potential attached to it, though that countdown thing got repetitive real fast; almost as quick as 1... 2... nevermind. The stuff with Fred Hechinger's part, meanwhile, is bizarre, sure it makes sense based on his (bad) final scene but the whole voice bit felt silly at every moment; esp. when imitating Crowe's Nikolai. Probably for the best that this character and franchise ends here."

  "Kraven was what I would call a good holiday action film that probably didn't get a good chance. I have no idea why it seems every Marvel associated movie is getting the fan negativity treatment. Not every movie will be a triple A Endgame film. Kraven was a secondary character at best in the comics so I think you have to set your expectations appropriately. I hope that the movie does well on streaming and physical sales. I would have liked to see how the story arc would have gone in future films but unfortunately it probably won't get a sequel. My advice to anyone watching movies these days is go see it yourself and don't believe the charged reviews. I thought the story was good, the acting was fine and the special effects were done well and more grounded and gritty than your normal super hero movies. Kraven was another antihero type in this film and I think that worked well for his introduction. Another point is like many comic book movies, this wasn't necessarily true to the comics but I enjoyed the character and story nonetheless."
