Kraven the Hunter

By

 

 


Kraven the Hunter is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Sergei Kravinoff, better known as Kraven. The film is part of Sony's Spider-Man Universe and will be the first live-action film centered on Kraven.

PLOT SUMMARY

The story centers on Sergei Kravinoff (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), a member of a wealthy family and a skilled hunter, who has a dark and complex past with his father, Nikolai Kravinoff (Russell Crowe).

After a tragic hunting incident that nearly cost him his life, Sergei gains animal-like superpowers, including enhanced strength, speed, and senses. He vows to prove himself the world's greatest hunter, not with guns, but with his bare hands, and is determined to protect the wild.

The film will explore Kraven's origin story, from his harsh childhood to his evolution into a deadly anti-hero. His journey will bring him face-to-face with other supervillains like Rhino (Alessandro Nivola) and the Foreigner (Christopher Abbott).

REVIEW 

The best thing about "Kraven the Hunter" lies in the intensity of its brutal action and its total commitment to its promised R-rating. Director J.C. Chandor successfully brings a highly visceral and grounded feel to the superhero genre, particularly through Kraven's fight choreography, which relies on animal instincts. The film's commitment to a dark and uncompromising anti-hero narrative will delight audiences tired of conventional superhero formulas.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Sergei Kravinoff/Kraven is the star of the show. With his incredible physique and total dedication to the role, he conveys an elegant yet savage hunter persona, far from being a typical comic book villain. Russell Crowe also delivers a standout performance as Nikolai Kravinoff, his stern and domineering father, whose presence lays the dramatic foundation for the past trauma that shaped Kraven.

The only criticism of the film is that the childhood flashback segment explaining the origins of his powers feels a bit drawn out in the first act. The film spends quite a bit of time setting the stage for Kraven to fully embrace his criminal hunter identity. However, once the main hunt begins and Kraven returns to the concrete jungle, the film's pace becomes fast, adrenaline-pumping, and ends with a final confrontation that is completely physically satisfying, reminding us of an authentic and primal origin story.

ACTOR

  • Aaron Taylor-Johnson - Sergei Kravinoff / Kraven the Hunter

  • Russell Crowe - Nikolai Kravinoff (Ayah Kraven)

  • Ariana DeBose - Calypso

  • Fred Hechinger - Dmitri Smerdyakov / Chameleon (Saudara tiri Kraven)

  • Alessandro Nivola - Aleksei Sytsevich / Rhino

  • Christopher Abbott - Foreigner

IS IT WORTH IT ?

Yes, it's very worthy! From the visual concept, the story, to the final battle, it gives a good impression for this Kraven movie.

Rating: 8.0/10
