KRAVEN THE HUNTER Offers a Fleeting Glimpse at What Could Have Been
Approximately a year ago, I critiqued the movie titled “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” Unfortunately, this film found itself in an undesirable position – essentially concluding a cinematic universe – long after a reboot had been declared. Despite the numerous challenges faced during its production, including reshoots and multiple release date changes, it eventually premiered. In theory, it could have thrived, given that it was a sequel to a box office hit, boasting a popular lead actor and a director known for creating enjoyable blockbusters. However, the movie didn’t perform well financially, nor did it receive positive reviews. The upcoming Sony film “Kraven the Hunter” finds itself in a comparable situation, but without the initial success or goodwill that “Aquaman” enjoyed.
