As we eagerly anticipate the release of the new Marvel film, Kraven The Hunter, we can't help but reminisce about the previous page and wonder what's up next. This latest addition to the franchise, starring the talented Aaron Taylor-Johnson, has already received quite the buzz, but not all of it is positive. With a Rotten Tomatoes rating almost as disastrous as the infamous Madame Web box office flop, many are questioning if this film will live up to the hype.
Set to hit UK cinemas today, Kraven The Hunter follows the story of Sergei Kravinoff, also known as Kraven, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Motivated by his strained relationship with his gangster father, Kraven takes on the mantle of the greatest and most feared hunter. Based on the popular comic book series, the film also features an all-star cast including Ariana DeBose, Christopher Abbott, Fred Hechinger, and Alessandro Nivola.
But as early reviews start to trickle in, it seems that the days of big superhero blockbusters may be behind us. Critics have given Kraven The Hunter an abysmal 14% rating, just slightly above Madame Web's 11% - which many have dubbed as the worst Marvel film to date. The AU Review described it as a "misguided actioner" that marks the end of Sony's Spider-Man Cinematic Universe with a disappointing whimper.
Not all hope is lost, as general viewers have given the film a higher audience score of 68%. But for those who trust the opinions of critics, it may be best to lower your expectations for Kraven The Hunter. The Sun called it "cringeworthy" and "disjointed", while MovieFreak.com described it as the definition of "meh". The Chicago Sun Times stated that it is an "undercooked pile of steaming mediocrity" and the Seattle Times suggested Kraven should "hunt down a better movie" for his next outing.
Even esteemed publications like The Daily Telegraph and Empire had harsh words for the film. The former stated that "rock bottom" has been reached for the parade of supervillains and superheroes, while the latter added that the movie is "limp, tired, and uninvolving superhero fare" compared to director J.C. Chandor's past successes.
On the bright side, Aaron Taylor-Johnson's other film, Nosferatu, has received praise from critics, boasting an impressive 93% rating on the Tomatometer. In an interview, the actor opened up about the violent nature of Kraven The Hunter and the need to do justice to his character. He also revealed that the film has been in development for three years, emphasizing the importance of getting it right.
Despite the mixed reviews, Kraven The Hunter has finally hit UK cinemas. If you're a fan of action-packed R-rated movies, this may be right up your alley. But if you're looking for a Marvel film that lives up to the standards set by the previous blockbusters, you may want to lower your expectations. Have you seen Kraven The Hunter yet?
