Critics Consensus

Claiming no trophies with its rote story and shoddy special effects, Kraven the Hunter turns out to be a paper tiger.

About as exciting as the board meeting from which it surely sprang.

Don’t believe the bad buzz; this comic book adaptation is a goofy delight.

Chicago Tribune

The game has its moments, but “Kraven the Hunter” goes in one eye and out the other, which has everything to do with genre fatigue — the studios’ more so than the audience’s.

Rated: 2/4

“Kraven the Hunter” has something for everyone…to hate. The movie’s ingredients are solid, but it adds up to a soulless, joyless affair that will make you wonder whether a cast of solid actors were ever good.

…a complete turkey…as with Madame Web, it’s clear that mucho re-editing have made a nonsense of whatever this was meant to be, with lots of shots of the backs of people’s heads while exposition unspools in the form of lumps of last-minute ADR corrections

Rated: 2/5

Leigh Paatsch

Herald Sun (Australia)

A miscast Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass) grunts, grimaces and mumbles his way through the title role, a charisma-challenged violence-magnet with many fights to pick but few reasons to justify the carnage left in his wake.
