Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU) has been a mixed bag at best and an extended calamity at worst, with this year's dire double whammy of Madame Web and Venom: The Last Dance seemingly putting paid to the notion of an MCU-adjacent supervillain chronology.
Having had its release date pushed back by over a year, Kraven the Hunter was anticipated by many to be the final nail in the SSU coffin. Next to some of its predecessors though, J. C. Chandor's film has a surprising spring in its step that, allied to some nimble action sequences, makes it rather more fun than the naysayers would have you believe.
