Table of Contents As the credits rolled on Sony’s Kraven the Hunter, ostensibly the last entry in Sony’s Spider-Man -less universe, all I could think about was that this movie would’ve been a success in 2004. Against all odds, I quite enjoyed Kraven the Hunter, going into it with low expectations and being mostly entertained throughout the film’s 120-plus minutes. It’s a rough movie, for sure, largely because it seems to be at war with itself over what it should be.
Recommended Videos Freaky little men doing freaky little things If I had to describe Kraven the Hunter in any way, that’s exactly how I’d do it. It’s a movie full of freaky actors doing silly things and saying silly lines. Sure, it’s never as silly as it should be, but it’s silly enough to make you chuckle a few times, often intentionally. Yes, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a hunk with a stereotypically attractive look.
However, the highlight is definitely Alessandro Nivola as the film’s main villain, Aleksei Sytsevich, aka The Rhino. There’s scenery chewing, and then there’s what Nivola is doing in Kraven the Hunter. This is Gary-Oldman-in-The-Professional levels of unhinged, and Nivola is delivering. It takes a really gifted actor to be this ridiculous and remain engaging without becoming obnoxious.
It doesn’t help that Chandor seems to be the only one interested in doing a version of Kraven more in line with today’s sensibilities. The cast seems to be on the same page about the type of movie they want to do, and it’s not the one Chandor is aiming for. Taylor-Johnson, Hechinger, Abbott, Crowe, and Nivola all range from over the top to bordering camp, instantly clashing with Chandor’s more stoic and gritty approach.
