Why the Spider-Man Sony/Marvel Universe Was Doomed Before It Began

This review will discuss the plot points of Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Kraven the Hunter, so proceed with caution if you haven't seen them. Both films offer unique takes on their respective anti-heroes, but fall short in certain aspects.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage suffers from a somewhat predictable storyline and underdeveloped supporting characters. While the visual effects and symbiotic action sequences are impressive, the narrative lacks the depth and complexity found in other superhero films. The comedic elements, while present, sometimes overshadow the more serious plot developments.

Kraven the Hunter, on the other hand, attempts a more grounded and character-driven approach. The film explores Kraven's motivations and his complex relationship with his family, offering a more nuanced portrayal of the villain. However, the film's pacing feels uneven at times, and some plot points feel rushed or underdeveloped. The action sequences, while visually striking, lack the same visceral impact as those in Venom.

Both films ultimately deliver on the promise of action and spectacle, but neither quite reaches its full potential. While Venom prioritizes spectacle and humor, Kraven attempts a more complex narrative, but struggles with pacing and execution. Fans of the characters may find enjoyment, but viewers seeking a more cohesive and satisfying cinematic experience might be left wanting.
