Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/animal cruelty/hunting/shooting/torturing/stubbing/impaling/ritual/transformation/drugs/dismemberment/disfigurement/medical/references to Russia, human trafficking, child abuse and mental health

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.
