Was Kraven Really That Bad?? - Tuesday!

Yo, what up? It’s Tuesday! Happy almost New Year’s Eve to those of you still living in 2023. I caught Kraven last night, and man, what a trip. Going in, my expectations were subterranean. I’d seen the reviews, heard the buzz, and braced myself for a cinematic disaster. I honestly thought I might not even make it past the first half hour, but surprisingly, I persevered.

Let’s be real, the movie’s not great. I’m no Kraven expert; my knowledge mostly comes from the Spider-Man animated series back in the day. In that series, he was portrayed as a formidable hunter dead set on taking down Spider-Man. In this movie, he becomes Kraven the Hunter after getting bit by some legendary lion and resurrected via magic potion. The origin story felt slapped together, like a bunch of half-baked ideas haphazardly glued together.

The entire movie felt like that, actually. Disconnected scenes with no real continuity or character development. Decent ideas, decent acting, but the execution was seriously lacking. It’s like they had all these good pieces, but they were held together with some ancient, ineffective glue, resulting in a movie that induces yawns and a general sense of “meh”.

That being said, I did watch the whole thing, so take that as you will. The fact that I didn’t walk out or turn it off halfway through is probably the highest praise I can give it. This year saw some pretty decent movies, or did it? Now, trying to think about the best one, my mind has gone blank. I need to look at the full list of movies I watched this year to make a true list, because my brain is currently fried. Anyway, I drank coffee today, so we’re on to something. Till the next one, peace!

Ai Header Image Prompt: High-quality, intricate abstract digital art. The composition features a deconstructed, geometric representation of a powerful, predatory essence, like a stylized, fragmented lion or hunter's claw marks, formed from sharp, fractured polygons and dynamic, broken lines. These elements are visibly disjointed and 'slapped together,' embodying a sense of cinematic disappointment. The color palette primarily uses muted, desaturated tones of deep grays, dull browns, and washed-out blues, conveying a 'meh' feeling. A single, sharp streak or burst of vibrant, electric neon green or brilliant cyan cuts through the muted chaos, symbolizing a sudden jolt of energy or perseverance. The background is a complex, interwoven network of broken digital circuitry patterns and subtly pixelated textures, reinforcing the idea of disconnected scenes and technological fragmentation. The entire image should feel like a high-resolution, detailed digital render with a painterly yet precise finish, avoiding any human forms, hands, or limbs. No text overlay.
