The Sony/Marvel partnership (live-action edition) has been nothing short of a disaster, and Kraven the Hunter may be its worst film to date. Whether it's the waste of a surprisingly stacked cast (Aaron Taylor-Johnson has the screen time of a supporting character) or the atrocious script, I couldn’t help but laugh AT this film on multiple occasions - something I try to avoid. But it is just really, truly dumb. The decision making, the character development (or lack thereof), the effects... There are flashes (and I use that word generously) of what could have been, but it sure isn’t what we got. Let this partnership die.

As the reported swan-song for Sony's catastrophic Spider-Man universe, Kraven the Hunter brings it to a close in an appropriate manner. In other words, it's a total disaster from start to finish that you kinda can't help but have a blast laughing at. Its bizarrely stacked cast is wasted, the R-rating adds nothing, the ADR and editing are noticeably bad, and the bloated plot is unengaging. It's a product of pure, unbridled incompetency, and there’s a thousand meme-worthy moments that made me burst out laughing. So, for that, Sony-Verse, you hilariously wretched disaster, you will be missed.

There is so little care put into this film that it is a shame that it is tied to Marvel Entertainment, and I’m not even a Marvelite. Kraven the Hunter has so many inconsistencies and goofs that my theater was laughing at the unintentional awfulness and atrocious editing that jumps from scene-to-scene with little congruence. Add on pencil-thin story development, some super rough CGI, a range of inconsistent accents, and a cheesy script, and you can see how over two hours might be kind of a drag. It seems the comparisons to Madame Web are justified.
