Basada en pura fuerza bruta, la película de acción y ciencia ficción de JC Chandor, Kraven El Cazador, se ve limitada por una trama incomprensible y frases ingeniosas dudosas pronunciadas por un reparto que parece estar practicando sus peores acentos rusos. Si no fuera por las peleas anticlimáticas, Kraven El Cazador podría ser tan mala que sería buena. En cambio, no es más que otra excursión alejada del Universo Cinematográfico de Marvel a la serie de villanos de cómic desvirtuados de Sony.

Built on brawn, J.C. Chandor's action sci-fi picture "Kraven the Hunter" is limited by incomprehensible plotting and dodgy one-liners delivered by a cast who seem to be practicing their worst Russian accents. If not for the bevy of anticlimactic fights, "Kraven the Hunter" could be so bad it's good. Instead, it's merely another excursion away from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to Sony's series of defanged comic book villains.

It's been an odd year for science fiction. One of the best such narratives was the Broadway musical "Maybe Happy Ending," set in 2064 Seoul and in which two obsolete robots fall in love. Streaming series gave us an astounding range of stories and aesthetics, from "Sugar" to "Fallout" to "Dune: Prophecy."Feature films, on the other end, tended to be split between insipid or downright inept mega-budget productions and indies that often recycled similar premises.
