Looking for more entertainment news? Well, you've come to the right place! Let's dive into the latest buzz surrounding the highly-anticipated film, Kraven The Hunter.
First things first, let's talk about the film's release. It hit cinemas on December 13 and opened with a worldwide gross of $43 million, which may seem like a decent number, but let's not forget its hefty budget of $110 million. Ouch. And sadly, the critics didn't hold back with their reviews, giving it a dismal 17% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
But despite all the negative feedback, Sony CEO Tony Vinciquerra stands by his film. In an interview with LA Times, he defended Kraven, stating that it "is not a bad film." He went on to express his confusion over the critical reception, especially since it was his last film launch before leaving the studio.
Kraven follows the story of Sergei Kravinoff, played by the talented Aaron Taylor-Johnson, as he becomes the notorious hunter known as Kraven. His troubled relationship with his gangster father serves as his motivation to become the greatest and most feared hunter. Alongside Taylor-Johnson, the star-studded cast includes Ariana DeBose, Christopher Abbott, Fred Hechinger, and Alessandro Nivola.
While the critics may have not been too kind to Kraven, the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is surprisingly high at 74%. This raises the question of whether the film is truly as bad as the critics claim or if there is a disconnect between the critics and the audience.
Tony also addressed the criticism surrounding another Sony Marvel film, Madame Web, stating that it was "not a bad film" and that it did well on Netflix. He believes that the critics unfairly destroyed the film, much like they did with Venom, which was a hit among audiences despite its negative critical reception.
Speaking of Venom, it seems to be one of the only successful films in the Sony Marvel franchise, with the recent third installment being less popular among viewers. The same can be said for Madame Web and Morbius, which have become the subjects of internet memes. The audience's relationship with these films is a bit unclear, with some genuinely enjoying them while others may be jumping on the bandwagon of hate.
But let's not forget about Aaron's performance in Kraven. Despite the film's overall negative reception, he has received praise for his portrayal of the titular character. And who knows, we may see him in future Spider-Man films, as there have been talks of bringing in other Sony characters, although only Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock has made an appearance in the beloved trilogy.
So there you have it, the latest on Kraven The Hunter. What do you think of the film? Are you on the side of the critics or the audience? Let us know by getting in touch with our entertainment team. We'd love to hear from you!
