The Rise of The Hunter that fell at
the box office: briefly this story is about Sergei
Kravinoff [Aaron Taylor-Johnson:] he is the first son of Nikolai Kravinoff [Russell Crowe:] a Russian
crime lord which deals in drugs and wants his eldest son to take over the family
business, but he runs away to find his own path and become Kraven the Hunter
Generally speaking: the script, the framework and pacing of this 127
minutes film is; deliberate arrogance it is essentially a foundation/origin
script to build upon [which this is stupid; I will explain this later on in
this content;] but it does follow that outlay of script/storyline with two
large time jumps one of 16 years earlier and I will discuss the other later.
But when we get into the present again then it does follow something safe and
reliable
Art
and action; obviously we have these landscapes and Sergei Kravinoff/Kraven the
Hunter's eyesight and other representation of his abilities were/are the only
modern attempt made in this film that I can point out to you; you know they
really tried something even simple yet effective with his hearing or as I have
just referenced his eyesight. If you know anything about Kraven; his methods
are graphic so is just a friendly heads up they in some cases going to be
graphic and for he tries to take this chopper down with a make shift net
concept.
Character
developments and performances; frankly these character developments are
headache inducing for a heavy amount of the time minus the positives I have
just mentioned previously; again where do you want me to start really? Where
has your Russian accent gone Sergei Kravinoff/Kraven? Well on seeing this film
minus some moments in the beginning stages of the film and other bits and
pieces where he is actually speaking Russian, there is no signs of him having a
Russian accent, in effect we have Miller/Taylor-Johnson is just speaking
normally, so Kraven may as well not come from Russia then, moving on to Ariana
DeBose as Calypso Ezili: she is a lawyer and apologies I have forgotten the
name of the practice she works for; many years ago Diaana Babnicova as Calypso
Ezili is responsible for saving Sergei
Kravinoff's life, I should also point out she is from Dimension Earth-616. I
was really hoping we will going to get Dr. Mariah Crawford/Calypso Dimension
Earth-92131 Spider-Man 1994 animated TV program; because she and have natural
free-flowing chemistry as for these two versions in this live action; they have
the run-of-the-mill chemistry with zero romantic chemistry or feelings
whatsoever towards one another and finally we have Dmitri Kravinoff/another character [Younger:
Billy Barratt/Older: Fred Hechinger:] he is the half brother of Kraven and son
of Nikolai Kravinoff; basically for 97%
of the film he is a coward, but right towards the end of the film 1 year later
let's just say he isn't.
Which
I have to be completely honest is very stupid, because for these two very
obvious reasons; the first is that another lengthy time skip of a year where
something happened in this time gap. Secondly we will never find out just based
on the facts that at most this film took a budget of $130 million and as I am
putting this content together its box office taking is at most a very slim
taking of just over $28 million so this was an arrogant way to set up for a
sequel that as I have shown even if I was to take the lower budget of $110
million it has no way of recouping that in the slightest you can forget making
a profit margin on this title, so consequently you can forget making a sequel
and if you think I am being extremely harsh I should point out one key fact and
that is this film hit/released Friday 13/12/2024 and it has only made slightly
over $28 million, if I was Sony I would consider this film to be very much dead
on arrival at the box office.
I
mean what do you want me to say really? If this is what they were going for
with the character developments and everything else then once again
consequently the performances by definition of their standards are solid
versions of what they were going for.
This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; I mean this film is coming up
soon may be 21 years out of date as it relates to how comic book films are
handled and put out, but as I have already referenced it isn't the 2000's
anymore and don't get me wrong comic book adaptations were/are broadly speaking
positive, but all I am saying is; you can't expect to do that kind of comic
book film in 2024 and expect your audiences to swallow it when time goes
forward. In the interest of fairness and bounce; the person I watch some of
this content with; really enjoyed this film.
