There's just so many missed opportunities that could have made Venom more than what it actually is, but of course we know that Sony doesn't care about that. They just care about your money and nothing else. Sony should just give up the film rights to Spider-Man back to Marvel Studios at this point. It seems that they don't know how to make good movies anymore without influencing their money onto it.… Expand

If you go to see Venom and take it too seriously you'll leave disappointed, yet if you go in with low expectations and hope for a few laughs you may still leave disappointed. It's so ridiculously terrible it has found an audience, and if you don't believe me just take a look at how it did at the box office, nearly four times it's budget and it's still going strong. I didn't enjoy it, and a lot of other people definitely didn't enjoy it. But that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it. Maybe when it was compared to being "Catwoman levels of bad" you rushed out to the cinema just to see how bad it really was and you ended up laughing your head off. And all I can say to you people is you are the reason we'll get a sequel.

Starring Academy Award nominated actors Tom Hardy, and Michelle Williams. You can throw around the word Academy award all you like but even the combined acting talent of Hardy and Williams is not enough to save Venom. Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed) has brought back some symbiotes from space and is determined to merge symbiotes and humans to create a perfect being. But uh oh one of the symbiotes escapes and finds his perfect match in the form of Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy). Now Eddie has one hell of a parasite which is becoming harder and harder to control cause Venom has some pretty strong cravings for human meat and doesn't really like taking orders. Yet another boring and predictable origin story, miscast and at times just silly. The script is hilariously terrible, the only thing I wanted to see was Venom chomping some heads off, and of course you get that but at a 15a rating. Hardy really is the best thing about Venom but it's not saying much and he does look like he's having a lot more fun compared to everyone else who pretty much looks like they don't want to be there. In the right hands this could have been so much better and it's frustrating to see Venom hasn't been done justice on the big screen yet again. Not recommended, unless you purposely go out of your way to see bad superhero movies.… Expand

Most of this movie I found to be slow and kinda dull. It takes a while to get going, but when it does, I started having fun. This movie is at its best when it is being crazy and over-the-top! However, there isn’t a lot of that in the movie. That only really happens in the middle of the movie. It takes a long time to get going, it goes for a little bit, and then it just kinda ends abruptly before it even really begins. It’s very poorly paced, probably because of the re-edits. I thought there must’ve been more to this movie, I was only 90 minutes into what’s supposed to be a 110-minute movie, but nope! That was it! There are, no joke, 20 minutes of credits! That’s including two post-credits scenes, but you can just turn the movie off after the first one. The second is just a clip from Into the Spider-verse, nothing special. I heard there were about 40 minutes of footage cut from the final film, and yeah. It shows. Overall, this movie is a hot mess. If you’re in the mood for garbage, give it a watch. It’s like one of those less-than-wonderful 70s and 80s B horror movies. If you like that sort of thing, you’ll like this. If you want an actually good movie with a similar premise, however, watch Upgrade instead.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, I am a MASSIVE Venom fan. I am reviewing this movie for what it is, a COMIC BOOK Movie.

I feel my love for Venom surpasses anyone I've encountered in person or otherwise. I have read every venom comic I discovered and own most of them in loosies. Not to mention the $1000+ in statues and action figures I own.

I gave this movie a metacritic score of 2 out of 10. This accounts for two things they got right in the movie. They cast Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and the symbiote came from space. That's where the parts I enjoyed, ended.

The most successful comic book movies, in my opinion, have been those movies who have been most loyal to the source material. This "Venom" movie deviated far from that. -I am a Venom fan first, but I am sorry, there is no Venom without Spider-Man being tied to Venom's Origin. You don't get the full appreciation of Venom without seeing the stark contrast of how the two do business. Not to mention how Spider-Man effectively ruined both the symbitoe and Eddie Brock's lives (in their eyes) turning them into one of his most devout arch-nemesis.

-They changed the very principles of the symbiotes to be "mind controlling" parasites. -The very look of Venom isn't correct because of the lack of his signature white spider. (This was explained by the creative team that it was due to a lack of Spider-Man. God, it is almost like they were on to something for a moment.)

-The supporting cast for Tom Hardy was chosen very poorly. Just plain not interesting, didn't suit the roles.

-The relationship with his ex-wife was far too kind. In comics his relationship with Anne is mostly horrible. -End Credit scene teasing Carnage. Woody Harrelson looks more like carrot-top than Cletus Kasady. With this being said, I think Woody IS a solid pick to play the part.

There is so many more issues I had with this movie, but most probably won't get this far into my review, so I'll end it here.

I wished for this movie since I was a young child. I'm extremely disappointed that this is the result. It truly felt like the creators read little to none of the source content.… Expand

That line of dialogue of the Symbiote told me everything I needed to know about this film and in terms of blockbusters Venom is definitely the biggest disappointment I've had this year.'' From where I come from I'm kinda of a loser too ''

That line of dialogue of the Symbiote told me everything I needed to know about this film and in terms of blockbusters Venom is definitely the biggest disappointment I've had this year.

Sony's greed was bigger than quality and instead of allowing Marvel to exploit the character inside the MCU - One of Spider-Man's biggest foes - they decided to make easy money making a film of him without Spider-Man. Success right?

But no, now we have just another discouraging film in the superhero genre. If it wasn't for Tom Hardy and Riz Ahmed, this film would have been a disaster of epic proportions.

Generic plot. Bad visual effects. Lousy music. Simplistic performances. Yes, a total failure.

And right now I say it. Morbius will be another failure. But will Sony learn? **** no.… Expand

Like almost any popcorn flick coming out from hollywood in the last decade this movie was manufactured using the standard issue blueprint to make it a success in China, Russia and especially among the Social Media generation for whom having an independent thought is like some sort of spiritual death. You know, the kind of people who see any product placement or ridiculous fake "stand against the man" social/awareness commentary as a validation of their world instead of some basic trick by a marketing team to make kids feel validated by this product.… Expand

Venom is so bad that everything from the direction all the way to writing cannot save this film and for some odd reason, this movie is really fun to watch. Most casual audience members will indeed love this film if they don’t care about the art of filmmaking, but for those that are diehard film fanatics will bash it either way. Hate to say this but Ruben Fleischer will go down as the new Zack Snyder of Sony’s Marvel Universe in the textbooks in film and goddamn, Amy Pascal is the one to blame for all this mess especially after hearing that a 40 minute cut has been removed from the final film that Tom Hardy has mentioned about to the press not long ago. Hopefully an R-rated sequel will be in the works if Sony has a brain clicking in their mindsets because there will be Carnage coming in the mix if they chose someone that actually has talent to helm the sequel. This movie had me very justified since BvS and honestly, I think it’s worth checking it out if you like Spiderman or Venom. Looks like a cult following will come in like a turd, in the wind..… Expand

I do not mind making a 'fun' film and not bothering with all the artsy-fartsy intellectualism and technicalities. I also do not mind (too much) the shallow development of its characters because that usually comes with making a 'fun' film. II do not mind making a 'fun' film and not bothering with all the artsy-fartsy intellectualism and technicalities. I also do not mind (too much) the shallow development of its characters because that usually comes with making a 'fun' film. I also do not mind making a cash grab. Seriously! As long as its executed properly. What I do mind, though, is how much this film struggles to do as little work as possible in the department its most interested in: 'fun'.

Ripping apart the credits, the duration sits somewhere close to 1 hour and 40 minutes which is closer to a b-movie local television evening running than a theatrical release. Of course, length is not an issue on its own. Its what is contained in it. 'The Wolf of Wall Street' is over 3 hours long but somehow this feels emptier. And that its mostly due to its awkward pace resulted from its excessive editing. Ruben Fleischer's lack of interest is simply to obvious here. Characters change their mind at an illogical pace, villains depart and arrive out of nowhere, and some decisions contradict each other. These are not movie ruining directing moves when your idea is dynamic action, but its just too obvious and shameless here.

Despite its merciless cutting, we have many unnecessary scenes still left somehow. Mostly, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) stumbling through life and having wanna-be hard times themed everyday conversations with local folk. Out of all these interactions, the only ones which are a bit funny are Brock interacting with his symbiote, but even these wear thin quickly. And Hardy definitely gave his best. His performance is maybe one of the only two redeeming features of this film along with its killer special effects and dynamic action scenes (especially the motorcycle chase) and special effects.

In the end, 'Venom' is nothing more than a glorified action flick. Talkative epic villains, cool brooding action dude and a snowflake girlfriend. But its spread to thin and its shallowness is too obvious.… Expand

Tom Hardy has aSo this movie was kind of crap, but also kind of amazing too! It's a mess but I had a lot of fun laughing at it's expense. It was basically everything that I hoped for...well okay an R-rating is what I hoped for but ehhhh...

Tom Hardy has a really bad New Yorker accent that's like a cartoon, but looking past that he did a good job here. He really gets his character and does add a lot to the movie. And the relationship between Venom and Eddie is pretty great. It's not quite a "Jekyll and Hyde" situation, but the whole interactions between the two characters were pretty great. And the stuff with Venom that we do get is also pretty cool too. I like the buildup to when we see full Venom in action, and he does remind me a lot of the comics. So that is the one real genuine praise I can give outside of some odds and ends like the motorcycle chase being pretty fun to watch and Michelle Williams is also good here too despite her weak character, but more on that later. Unfortunately for some, but fortunately for me, the movie is broken!

The action scenes are pretty bland. While I did like the motorcycle chase scene, outside of the Symbiote power there really isn't much new when it comes with the framing and stunt choreography that I haven't seen before, and honestly better. The motorcycle chase is the only good action scene, because every other action set piece is poorly shot, jumbly edited, and depending on the setting also hard to follow sometimes when it's in darker settings. Which is especially true with the fight sequence with Venom and Riot. Both characters do look rather similar and seeing them duke it out with the mess of editing it makes it hard to figure out who was fighting who. But it does have a roundabout way of being funny to watch when you see these reoccurring elements done before in other action films.

Riz Ahmed makes for an underwhelming bad guy. Sure he is a generic bad guy, but if you ham it up it can be fun to watch. However Ahmed plays him very reserved and not very expressive, always having a very blank expression. Which I guess is kind of the point given the character is supposed to be cold, but I just never bought him. The character is a more evil version of Mark Zuckerberg, but he comes off more like Gabe from the Office! Although Ahmed got nothing on Jenny Slate! She is flat out terrible in this, underacting and looking so bored on screen! She always has a super bland and blank expression! Like there's a scene where she gets caught whistleblowing the company she works for, and her expression when she is caught comes off like she left the lights on in her apartment when she left. Like...why?

There was some bad publicity leading up where Tom Hardy blatantly said that 40 minutes of the film was cut, I don't know if it was the more gorier parts of the film that was promised to us, but I think there was a lot of development cut out, because judging on the theatrical cut this script is underdeveloped! I gave Michelle Williams credit for being pretty good in the movie, and she is, but the relationship between Eddie and her character is extremely underdeveloped, especially when there are like some kind of romantic tension with her and her new man, who is absolutely pointless in this regard. I honestly did not care about Tom Hardy and Michelle William's relationship at all. The relationship with Eddie and Venom also felt underwhelming too. Like the general tension between the two is fine, but Venom turns from a "I wanna wreck things in this world" to "actually this planet is pretty cool I'm gonna save it" in the blink of an eye! Like...where was the development? The movie flies by so fast too! It's barely 2 hours long but it feels a lot more like an hour and a half film. Which does run into a problem with the short development and story arks and especially the third act which flies by very quickly. The tone is also a mess. It's not a straight up horror film, but it does have a ton of psychological elements to it mixed with a campy Marvel movie, it's jarring but it's also hilarious having these two different tones at odds with each other. Like the third act has a song cue right out of an Avengers film and it is so out of place, it's amazing!

If there is one thing I can credit about the script, it's the dialogue. There are some intentionally funny scenes and quips, but for the most part it's poorly written and pretty cheesy and edgy. It was hilarious, and probably unintentional too which makes it better!

Overall the movie is garbage but go in with the right mindset it is a fun movie to rip apart with friends. The jarring tones, underwritten screenplay, and corny edge makes this a hilarious romp!… Expand

Il reste les effets spéciaux fort bien faits et quelques dialogues assez drôles qui font penser à un certain Upgrade (qui reprend en quelque sorte le même schéma) sorti la même année mais en infiniment plus réussi…

Même la violence est incroyablement édulcorée et pourtant avec une créature pareille, ça devrait tacher… énormément ! mais bon Marvel, c’est pour les mômes et les jeunes ados et en plus, chez Marvel, c’est Disney le patron… alors, faut pas s’étonner que ce soit aussi ramolli du bulbe tout ça !…… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Venom feels like it should have been at least 30 minutes longer.

The only positives i can think of on this movie, is Eddie Brock's character, Tom Hardy works wonder with a dreadful script. The interactions between Eddie and Venom are definitely the best part, but we got almost nothing of that.

Other characters however just seem to be there. Carlton Drake is a weak villain, who you will forget as soon as you get off the theatre. Riot, oh wow, riot was such a disappointment. We got 5 minutes of Riot vs Venom, and i actually liked it. But it was only 5 minutes.

The script is absolutely awful, certain characters decisions just seem to happen out of nowhere. When Venom decided to stay on Earth, he simply decided, there was no scene or point of turn around, in a space of 10 minutes he went from slowly killing Eddie, to wanting to stay on Earth.

End of the movie, i felt like i was robbed at least 30 minutes of important scenes, this movie felt like it had more to give. It's another complete misfire by Sony. I hope in the sequel they can make turn this around… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe that the film was conceived with a rating of 18+ However, the greediness of the Sony company spoiled the plot. I am sure that a huge number of scenes were cut so that the rating became 13+

Now for the plot. 40 minutes is stupid chatter. At 45 minutes we are shown Venom for the first time. Then another 30 minutes stupid talk. And at the end of a small fight. It's all. Why did Venom decide to save the planet? How did Eddie convince him? I am more than sure that the relationship was developed in the cut scenes. Plot this can be explained by a symbiosis, but you yourself understand how rotten it is.

Why did the "bad" symbiot choose an antagonist? How did he find him? Why is there no protection in the top secret lab? The journalist walks like at home. The little girl also entered the building without any problems. Idiocy… Expand

What a trash. Only thing I liked about the movie was Tom hardy talking to Venom. Action was terrible and the story was horrifying. I hope that Sony doesn't make any more Venom movies.

Too awkward to stand as a solid action flick, but not funny enough to be a comedy. All throughout, there are glimpses of the better movie that it could have been.

As a superhero movie, Venom, the first installment of the Sony Marvel Universe, is a dismal failure. The script is laughably bad, the action sequences are...fine, I guess, and the stakes feel stale. It makes the much-mocked Spider-Man 3 Topher Grace version look like a masterpiece. None of the jokes are funny. The CGI is outdated for an 80s movie. Almost all the characters are dumb and boring. The only person who makes the movie interesting from time to time is Tom Hardy. Simply because he is Tom Hardy and he's a good actor that basically carrys the movie. The symbiote is nothing like venom from the Marvel universe. It doesn't even behave like an alien, more like a pet that needs to be trained.

Trained by Eddy to become the new superhero. For real??? Venom used to be the bad guy yet they actually made him a hero? A hero that kills and eats bad people btw.
I honestly don't believe that I tortured myself till the end of the movie. As a fan of Venom I really wanted the movie to be good, but I won't even watch the sequel not even the trailer.… Expand

Esta peli debería haber salido en 2020 para acabar de redondear el año. Peor que el COVID-19. El nombre lo tiene heredado de lo venenosa que es, no por inspirarse en Marvel. EVÍTALA CON MAYOR PRIORIDAD QUE A TU EX LA TÓXICA.

Venom is the kind of movies that need a high attention to the CGI. And it's the biggest flaw in the movie.
