Movie Review: ‘Kraven the Hunter’ is another misfire in the Spider-Man universe | Hollywood

Kraven the Hunter can climb sheer walls like a gorilla, snatch fish out of streams like a bear and outrun deer. But there’s something this slab of human beef can’t do: Anchor a decent movie. Movie Review: ‘Kraven the Hunter’ is another misfire in the Spider-Man universe Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays the titular hero in “Kraven the Hunter,” the sixth attempt in Sony’s sputtering efforts to stock enemies for Spider-Man in movies that don’t feature the webslinger. It’s stuck in time, a callback to years ago when convoluted superhero origin stories were hot, and studios were dusting off even the poorest IP to tell stories.

Kraven, we learn, was born Sergei Kravinoff, the son of a Russian mobster who is turned into a superhero in …
