Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Kraven in Kraven the Hunter
I don't like Kraven the Hunter. No, I'm not talking about Sony's latest Marvel spin-off or the film's main character that Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays . I'm talking about the original character from Marvel Comics. While not the worst foe in Spider-Man's prestigious rogues gallery, Kraven is also far from the best.
✕ Remove Ads 'Kraven the Hunter's Performances Won't Satisfy Comics Fans or Movie Goers Even after I've solidified myself as part of the anti-Kraven fan club, I can safely tell you that this is not a comic-accurate representation of the title character.
✕ Remove Ads There's also another villain in the film with Christopher Abbott's"The Foreigner", who is just all sorts of bizarre. Not only is this character just an odd choice to include , but they also have a superpower that practically makes them an overpowered unbeatable god without any real explanation.
Kraven the Hunter is a representation of everything that's wrong with the term"We'll fix it in post-production." A good percentage of the movie is character interactions on a green screen or ADR for off-screen dialogue. At least, it's mostly off-screen, but sometimes, we get treated to some of the worst dubbing I've ever seen in a major motion picture.
Speaking of CGI, just about every digital effect in Kraven the Hunter is laughably unconvincing. All the animals look like cartoon characters, and the non-real animals don't fare much better. Even something as conceptually simple as gunshot wounds looks so incredibly fake that a mere tiny prosthetic would probably have been a better creative choice.
This might sound like a dog pile on Sony, and while I do think this spin-off series was a poorly developed concept, the reputable production company still deserves a lot of credit for their positive contributions to the genre. The Spider-Verse films alone are evidence that they can produce quality content if not also movies that Marvel Studios would never have made.
