Tired when in the movies of today spit on the history and characteristics of the characters with which we grew up. Here Kraven goes from being the best hunter of all to a simple murderer. The title should be Kraven the murderer and not Kraven the hunter. Here the references to other characters multiply: Kraven runs like some of the Twilight characters, has vision and ability to run as the Man of the Six Million Dollars, climb trees like Spiderman and curiously has a black interest Like Blade. Not only that; He has a dominant and evil father (like a clon of Kingpin), he has some control over animals (like a Aquaman on earth), a mother with tragic death (again as Blade) and has a brother who will finally make decisions that he will not like ( as in every decent martial arts movie made in China). The most weak character is Kraven; his history, his origin, his motivation, everything is unfortunate, weak, pauperrm. When Russell Crowe is seen, you realize who is the authentic star here; moreover, they should make a prequel telling the story of this character that would be much more interesting than Kraven the loser. The other villains are decent; both the Phoreigner and Rhyno are decent in their representation and especially the protagonist of Rhyno really entertain with his character. No one tells details of his past; We know nothing of them or anyone's present in the film; Everything is cartoon and without content. The only decent, if it can be said, is that in the end the Chamaleon is also distinguished and therefore the story ends with a smile on the face because there is a real satisfaction: in a world of hard characters nobody who embraces improper causes of the greater hunter of the world should highlight. Kraven The Killer is a bad film, very bad but the highlighting of its villains produces pleasure, a very bad pleasure but pleasure after all.
For Spanish cinema, this film was considered at the time the ultimate expression of the use of special effects. Today, watching it offers surprise, hilarity and joy. These are precisely the elements that make a film unforgettable and fulfill its purpose. The film has it all: extravagant villains (the most incredible thing is a robot that has to be seen to be believed), a hero who is unlike anything seen before in our lives and a series of elements between comic relief and action sequences that will leave you speechless. It is a joyful, dynamic and surprising film. It has aged badly and that is the best thing about it; today, in the face of so many soulless films, this film stands out enormously.
Godfrey Ho is the ideal director if you want to make something low-budget with the intention of holding its own throughout history with a prominent name. In this case we have a film that mixes several elements, some of them not usual in a movie with ninjas. It offers entertainment on several levels and everyone who saw the film knows exactly what I mean. Richard Harrison says that he was fooled by Ho and despite this he looks fantastic as someone who is destined to shine forever in cult movies with ninjas in colorful suits and always appealing to overacting. Recommended if you really want to have fun without knowing what will happen in the next scene.
