As a longtime comic book enthusiast and moviegoer who has witnessed both the highs and lows of superhero adaptations, it’s always a bittersweet experience to see a beloved character like Kraven the Hunter receive such a lukewarm reception. With each new entry in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, I find myself crossing my fingers, hoping for a fresh take on these iconic characters that can live up to their potential. Unfortunately, it seems that Kraven the Hunter has joined the ranks of Morbius and Madame Web as another disappointing addition to this franchise.
Initial reactions towards the film “Kraven the Hunter” are out, suggesting it might join the list of poorly received movies in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe series. As of now, based on 48 reviews, the movie has a dismal approval rating of only 17% on Rotten Tomatoes. Although a Critics Consensus hasn’t been stated yet, a quick scan through the published reviews reveals criticisms ranging from the script to special effects and an inconsistent tone. The average score across these reviews is a rather low 3.8 out of 10.
A number of reviews praise Kraven the Hunter as an enjoyable comic book adaptation due to its action scenes, connections to broader Marvel Comics storylines, and sprinkles of humor. Yet, this positive sentiment is relatively uncommon. The general consensus is that Kraven the Hunter leaves Sony’s Spider-Man Universe on a disappointing note.
Ever since the debut of Sony’s Spider-Man Universe with “Venom” in 2018, critical appreciation hasn’t exactly been pouring in. None of the subsequent releases managed to secure a “Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes; the highest was Venom: Let There Be Carnage from 2021, which garnered a 58% approval rating. The early reviews for Kraven the Hunter are aligning with those of the heavily criticized Morbius (15%) and Madame Web (11%). It’s worth noting that among this group, the Venom franchise – with scores of 30% and 41% – appears to be the most favored.
2024 was a challenging year for Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, as movies like Madame Web failed to captivate audiences with just $100.4 million in global earnings, and Venom: The Last Dance underperformed, becoming the lowest-grossing film in the Venom series. This decline in audience interest seems to have prompted Sony to reconsider their approach to Marvel spin-offs. Instead, they are focusing on projects such as Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 and the much-anticipated animated sequel Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, while they strategize their future moves.
Prior to the release of these reviews, it was already anticipated that Kraven the Hunter might struggle at the box office, potentially even underperforming Madame Web. It’s clear that such unfavorable feedback won’t help the movie, especially when pitted against blockbusters like Moana 2 and Wicked, which have been popular choices this holiday season. Unfortunately, Kraven the Hunter seems to offer little as an alternative for older cinema-goers, with the R-rated action film Gladiator II garnering much more positive responses. Despite a slight dip in sales ($12.5 million domestic gross last weekend), Ridley Scott’s latest is expected to maintain its appeal among its intended audience.
As a movie enthusiast, I’ve just finished watching “Kraven the Hunter” and I must say, it seems that many other viewers share my sentiments. Currently, there are numerous reviews yet to be posted on Rotten Tomatoes, but given the initial response, it appears that the film may not achieve a favorable score.
