The Action
Some of the action choreography is good. Kraven at least has his own animalistic style. That’s something to enjoy. My only problem would be that the character is a little too over the top. It would seem that he has a little more than just animalistic strength and quickness. He can also survive tremendous blows without harm. I feel that the writers simply wanted to create cool scenes and didn’t care for anything like realism. Personally, I think the movie would have been better with more limitations placed on Kraven.
The Acting
Aaron Taylor-Johnson did as much with his character as anyone could. I’m not going to say that he is as perfect for this role as Hugh Jackman is for Wolverine, but he’s a really great choice. I’m afraid that a lot of reviews are going to bash his acting, and the acting of the rest of the cast. But that’s not fair. There’s no actor who is going to work magic with the terrible dialog they were given. Honestly, there is some cringe-worthy dialog that is so bad I felt sorry for the actors as I watched them try to work through some of the scenes. Many of the scenes that rely on character conversation are awful, but it’s not the actor’s fault.
In retrospect, I think Alessandro Nivola (Rhino) did the best job.
Someone should throw poor Ariana DeBose (Calypso) a party to cheer her up because I’m certain she will be pummelled by the critics. But oh my god her dialog was trash, and her character was underdeveloped. There are three named writers for this script and they are all males. I’m not going to say that it’s impossible for a male to write dialog for a female, because some can. But these guys either can’t do it or don’t care about the character.
Plot
Unoriginal. I could go on, but what’s the point? This is just another story where the plot serves to create cool moments that will look good in the trailer but not build any real drama or suspense.
Grade: D+
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Must have app if you love the movies
If you’re like me and enjoy a 92oz soda as part of the movie experience, you’ll be thankful for this app telling you the best times to go for a quick break. Whether that’s to refill your soda or recycle it.
Possibly an even better feature is the info on if the movie has after credits scenes. There’s nothing worse than sitting there reading about who the key grip was, then finding out that’s all you did. I blame Marvel for the stupid trend.
Seriously, I see a dozen movies a month and use this app every single time. Worth every Penny of the infinity coin thing I bought.

About The Peetimes: The first and second Peetimes are the best. The last one isn’t bad, but there’s a lot of dialog to be summarized.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Kraven the Hunter.
