In news sure not to excite anyone in particular, Kraven the Huntsman is now in theaters. The latest and most likely last live-action spin-off flick for Sony’s unfortunate cinematic universe is limping towards a awkward beginning weekend with scathing reviews (as well as IGN’s), marking an ignominious end for what’s been one of the worst years ever for the superhero genre.
