For years, Sony has tried to build its own superhero cinematic universe of Spider-Man villains without ever mentioning Spider-Man, and except Venom, it was one failure after another. Finally following the release of The requirement of the hunterThe experiment has expired. The last, erroneous film made for anyone now appearing on Netflix, where, strangely, the best film came on the largest streaming service in the world.

Kraven’s first and last hunt

When The requirement of the hunter Published, fans were wondering what story he could possibly adapt, as the biggest story of the villain, “Kraven’s Last Hunt,” contains Spider-Man to such an extent that it is impossible to adjust without the wall crawler. Turning out, the movie instead is concentrated on the rise of anti-manager Aaron Taylor-Johnson as he rebels against his father, Nikolai Kravinoff (Russell Crowe. By his side is Calypso (Ariana Debose), the Priests of Voodoo who gave Kraven supernatural powers as a young boy, and sometimes his brother, the Chameleon (Fred Hechinger).

It’s Sony’s standard superhero film that spends too much time setting up the character and almost not enough lets the audience see them in action. Part of the problem with The requirement of the hunter is that the character has no real powers, depending on his skills instead, but the film gives him supernatural strength, durability and agility to the point that he can park pure walls. He is not even the only character that the film finds difficult to adapt; The Chameleon’s surface change powers look like Syfy’s original from 2005, and then the real villains of the film.

One of Sony’s Better Superintendent Movies

The requirement of the hunter Makes the deepest draw again from Roster Spide-Rman of villains by bringing the foreigner (Christopher Abbott) to the big screen. This version is a murderer that appears high -power and not the main strategic spy of Wonders comics. Then the rhino (Alessandro Nivola), a perennial joke of a villain that only exists to be beaten, but there, it is a legitimate threat with greater intelligence and charm than any of his comic appearances, which works, but is still the rhino as the great evil.

Despite all the odd choices in adjusting this odd corner of the Spider-Man comics to the big screen, The requirement of the hunter According to his own merits, not a horrific film. Strengthened by a R -degree leaving Aaron Taylor-Johnson Stabbing unnamed thieves and even biting a nose or two, it’s darker and grittier than any of Sony’s other Sony’s movies. It was also the least successful, finally hitting theaters in December 2024, after a delay of over a year, just to earn less money ($ 62 million) than Madame’s web.

As compared to Madame’s web. Morbiusand Luxury: The last dance. The requirement of the hunter is a skilled film that is stunning for most Sony films, even with action scenes that take place during the day. It’s not great, but now that it’s taken from the cost of a ticket and driving to the theater, audiences are more willing to give it a chance, and who knows, it could even become Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s cult classic in a few years.
