Dog’s Movie House: “Kraven The Hunter” Competent Comic Movie With Little Reason To Exist!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at Sony’s new Marvel movie titled “Kraven The Hunter.” Kraven is one of the more notoble villains in Spider-Man’s rogues’ gallery, mainly because despite his desire to kill the wall crawler, Kraven has a rather staunch moral code. Kraven’s Last Hunt is one of the most respected comic book stories in the history of Marvel and it would have been fascinating to see that story told onscreen. But that’s not what we get here. Instead we get an origin story dealing with Kraven (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and the relationship with his criminal father Nickolai (Russell Crowe) and half-brother Dmitri (Fred Heshinger) and the events that lead him to becoming the legendary hunter. It’s a competently told story yet there is an overwhelming sense of “why?”
