Kraven The Hunter Movie Review

On Wrestling Uncensored, Dave Simon and Genesis Johnny North took a break after covering all the pro wrestling action and talked about the movie “Kraven The Hunter.” This separate conversation stood out from the usual ring talk. Johnny North shared that he watched the film, which belongs to the Sony-Marvel universe. He described it as violent, gory, and not suitable for children.

Johnny North said, “Kraven took forever to come out. They delayed it so many times. It finally dropped in December.” Dave didn’t seem as interested in the Marvel side of things, but he listened as Johnny explained the plot and action scenes. According to Johnny, “Kraven got mauled by a lion, then drank a voodoo spell, which gave him powers like super strength and agility.” He warned that the movie was extra bloody. Scenes featured bear traps ripping someone’s head apart, making it clear this isn’t a friendly superhero flick.

Johnny explained that while the story had problems, fans of action and violence might enjoy it. He said, “It’s not for kids, especially if they love Spider-Man. Kraven is part of that universe, but this is a darker take.” He also noted that a friend with no background in the Marvel world still liked the movie, drawn in by the action scenes. The effects and CGI weren’t always perfect, and the plot felt all over the place, but Johnny gave it a pass as an entertaining, if flawed, watch.

Dave responded with some confusion, “Half human, half lion? That’s wild.” While Dave isn’t big on these films, he acknowledged that the story sounded intense. Johnny mentioned that the movie sets a different tone compared to typical comic adaptations that try to appeal to families. “This one’s for adults,” he said.

The hosts didn’t tie the film to pro wrestling, but there are certain parallels between good guys, bad guys, and unexpected turns. Just as a shocking swerve can happen in a wrestling ring, the violence and brutality in “Kraven The Hunter” might appeal to those who appreciate rough, intense action.

If you want to see “Kraven The Hunter,” know that it’s heavy on gore and darker than most comic-based films. As Johnny put it, “Don’t bring the kids.” Watch it if you like gritty action, don’t mind some over-the-top violence, and are curious about a lesser-known Marvel character. For a final thumbs up or down, Johnny placed his rating somewhere in the middle, acknowledging its faults but appreciating the raw energy.
