The Seattle TimesDominic BaezDec 11, 2024
Kraven may be the world’s greatest hunter, but next time, he needs to track down a better movie. Read full review

Wall Street JournalZachary BarnesDec 13, 2024
While “Kraven,” like “Venom,” is refreshingly Earth-bound relative to the soporific celestial bombast of the Marvel films, it’s still low on real liveliness. Read full review

Rolling StoneDavid FearDec 12, 2024
What you’re left with is something that wants the brand-name recognition of being a Spider-Man project by proxy, but also wants to give you an overly violent, extremely gory vigilante movie that, despite featuring Kraven fighting a weak-tea CGI version of another well-known Marvel villain, has nothing to do with those films. Congratulations on failing twice, we guess? Read full review

Kraven the Hunter explores the inner workings of a guy we didn’t care about to begin with, alongside underwhelming action sequences and a lot of scenery chewing. Read full review

ScreenCrushMatt SingerDec 11, 2024
That’s Kraven the Hunter, and all these Sony superhero movies, in a nutshell: Bait and switches designed to maintain a license until the next actual Spider-Man film. Read full review

It’s all desperately silly. Read full review

ColliderAidan KelleyDec 11, 2024
Kraven the Hunter's bland storytelling, subpar acting, and staggering technical issues are proof that the Spider-Man IP needs to be protected before it becomes an endangered species. Read full review

Film ThreatMichael Talbot-HaynesDec 30, 2024
Kraven The Hunter doesn’t entertain. The only thing it does right is release the hostages after two hours. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreDec 16, 2024
Kraven the Hunter’s the empty hole where a real movie’s beating heart should have been. Read full review

Sony’s latest Spidey yarn is a charmless stinker that’s only well-polished enough to make you resent the stench. Read full review

The Associated PressMark KennedyDec 11, 2024
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. Read full review

Slant MagazineJustin ClarkDec 11, 2024
Aaron Taylor-Johnson skulks and slays across a slew of gory insert shots that scream “reshoots” from the highest mountain, and while he certainly looks the part with his shirt off, there’s little here that Hugh Jackman hasn’t delivered multiple times over the years and with a deeper well of earned pathos to draw from.

We Got This CoveredChristian BoneDec 16, 2024
An artistically and emotionally hollow shell of a superhero film, 'Kraven the Hunter' leaves little for Sony to take pride in. Read full review

The TelegraphTim RobeyDec 11, 2024
Last orders can’t come soon enough for the whole parade of supervillains, superheroes, or however they’re now choosing to identify. This is rock bottom. Read full review

The IndependentClarisse LoughreyDec 11, 2024
Richard Wenk, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway’s script is profoundly scattered, and there’s such a ruthless amount of re-recorded dialogue inserted that there’s little cohesion between or even within scenes. Read full review

Punishingly dull. Read full review
