Not a bad movie, but still, forgettable. The story is simple and cliche, but there are some good action sequences and some fun moments of Venom and Eddie.

Without Tom Hardy, this movie could be worse. The final cut cut everything out. The overall story felt so rushed. I'll need to see the uncut version.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I watched Venom produced by Ruben Fleischer last week and I do think that this film is completely loss of time.
It is the same thing of all the others films of a superhero. He gets an overpowered super power, learns about it and uses it to save the city because a villain gets in the city.
There is a girl who the protagonist felt in love but they broke the relationship. Venom is the same thing of Dead Pool but is not fun and is not cool.
The first scene (before he gets the power) is 60% of the film and that does not make sense!
“Batman vs Superman” rewards you with a cool fight contrary of Venom witch hasn’t.

Venom greatly benefits from Hardy's acting which is basically the only thing that stands out, he carries the movie by himself for the most part because the script is frankly disappointing.

The movie was not too bad it had is fun moments. I think that they could have done more with the venom anti-hero version they tried to portrait. The movie felt rushed, and left a few plot holes.The villain was fairly bad. Still worth a watch.

Note:6.2
Venom, a movie that can not find its tone, one hour is Suspense, another hour is Comedy, the film leaves sharp that had many scenes cut, characters totally dismissable and with a villain generic,and the script, besides being generic, is very rushed, the scenes of fights are good,but the messy direction prevents us from enjoying it,and does not show anything beyond the seen in the trailers previously, the chase scenes are great and make you excited, Tom Hardy is very well in the movie, the relationship between Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote is very good and funny, when the movie ends you feel like seeing more of them two.
Venom is a very mediocre way to start a Shared Universe at the movies, but it's still fun.

"Venom" añade un poco de terror paraSony da un paso atrás en el camino de las películas de super héroes, trayendo de vuelta viejos clichés y haciendo que parezca eterna la historia de origen del segundo villano más conocido de Spider-Man. "Venom" añade un poco de terror para tratar de crear su propia saga pero sin obtener los resultados deseados.
La historia inicia con un accidente espacial que nos da las primeras imágenes de la infiltración de los Simbiontes; para luego mostrarnos al nuevo Eddie Brock, en su auge y caída, es un periodista rebelde que se encarga de hacer las preguntas difíciles a las grandes empresas y eso lo deja en una situación crítica que termina cruzando su vida con el organismo que lo convierte en Venom.
Como punto a favor hay que decir que el personaje de Venom no se ve mal en pantalla, pero el problema es que tardan una eternidad en revelarlo, la mayoría del tiempo es solo Tom Hardy haciendo muecas. La acción es mala, hasta el climax final hay pequeñas escenas de persecución o de infiltración que no explotan al personaje, y la batalla final no tiene carisma, sobretodo porque el villano carece de ésta.
Si les gusta la fórmula de Transformers pero con pequeños sustos en vez de tomas de mujeres, puede gustarles. En general la película no es mala sólo promedio, le falta transgredir más. Venom es un personaje que quisiera disfrutar en el MCU, pero si debo verlo en su propio mundo al menos que sea haciendo cosas que Disney no aprobaría.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pues es disfrutable, pudo ser mucho mejor pero el antagonista y algunas decisiones tiran hacia abajo; se agradece el intento de no seguir solo haciendo superheroes, aunque a veces llegue a parecerlo, siento que le falta algo a Eddie Brock, su caracter se me hace demasiado correcto a ratos como tambien me descoloca ese dialogo del simbiote de Venom (que al parecer aqui individualmente tienen nombres y no es algo que surja por la union con el anfitrion, al parecer tambien se descarto la influencia del "parasito" sobre la mente del huesped); lo que mayormente le juega en contra es la notoria censura por la restriccion de edad que al parecer y lamentablemente la acompañara en la posible secuela (lo cual descartaria a Carnage o lo suavizaria pero no seria lo mismo). Al ver el trailer pense que extrañaria a Spider-man, ya que ver su origen separado no me agradaba, pero viendo la opcion que existe por parte de Marvel realmente no es algo que me terminase por molestar. Me hubiese gustado que se tratara mejor la relacion de Eddie con el simbionte y tambien que se terminara por arruinar su relacion con Annie; es una pelicula de accion disfrutable pero esperaba algo mas, ciertas cosas no me terminan por convencer como partes donde parece que a Tom Hardy le va a salir humo de los oidos de lo enojado que esta como en una caricatura. No es mala, no es buena pero es un inicio para no repetir todo lo que se hace actualmente en el cine de superheroes, aunque espero mas peliculas de antiheroes o directamente villanos (esperando que no todos se vuelvan Deadpool teniendo otros personajes como Spawn, Red Hulk, Adam Warlock, Blade, Red Hood II, Deathstroke, Namor, Ghost Rider etc...; o que a los villanos se les intente dar una version mas heroica como ha pasado con Dracula y Maleficent).

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie was generally fun. There is a chemistry between Venom and Eddie, and that's the best part of the movie. Besides that, the story is not interesting due to one big reason: there are two main villains. Usually, movies focus on one antagonist to set up an interesting conflict between the good and bad. If the "bad guy" in the film has understandable reasons to do what he or she does, the movie gets better. In Venom, Drake shows up as the main villain of the story, and although his motivation is really a cliche, it is reasonable enough to make him a decent villain. However, he is not the only villain in the movie, we also have Riot, who doesn't really have a deep personality. He just wants to bring the other symbiotes to rule the Earth. After he takes over Drake at some point in the movie, Drake simply loses. All the setup that gives him a character is in vain, so anything that's interesting about the movie just vanishes. Thankfully, screentime was mostly spared for Eddie Brock and Venom, therefore it is possible to enjoy the movie. Expand

In many ways, this one is more of a drama than a regular, action filled superhero flick. Tom Hardy is great, as always, and Riz Ahmed makes for a great villain. The chemistry between Hardy and Michelle Williams is awkward at best and their relationship never really feels authentic. The script takes a lot of liberties and shortcuts with its source materiel, which makes it lose credibility. Additionally, it takes way too long to actually get going, with there being an unnecessary long build-up and all. Venom could have been another Deadpool, but that potential is totally wasted, unfortunately.

That being said, the action scenes are fine and the dualism between Eddie and Venom is the greatest thing about this film. The sole Eddie Brock parts are not that good, but the sole Venom parts are great. And as mentioned above, Hardy is all-around great in the role. He manages to be very funny as well, which is another good thing about this movie. Otherwise it feels kind of meh and never really develops into the great thing it could have been.

A few days before the premiere, the Internet was in turmoil,"Venom" is a film I've been planning to go to the cinema for a long time, the trailers bought me and although the character is not too complicated, I always liked it in any medium. A few days before the premiere, the Internet was in turmoil, among others, from a relatively low percentage collected from the review on Rotten Tomatoes. And although it gave me a negative attitude towards this production, I did not regret buying a ticket for the screening. I left the cinema room really positively surprised because the film was OKAY! Of course, it's stylistically sloppy, the first 10 minutes heralds a horror movie, then every now and then we jump from comedy to thriller and vice versa. These indecisiveness of the creators, what they actually want to shoot, hurts especially when both the film made completely seriously or with a pinch of humor would still be better than this mix, resulting mainly from the script "Venom" written by 4 people. Also, the leading actors, despite their potential, the roles of Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed are unused. Only Tom Hardy with his phenomenal acting really squeezes everything out of such an average written character. The biggest advantage of this creation is the comic relation between Eddie Brock and the symbiote, which, by the way, finally looks as it should, so I have no objections to special effects. I have them, however, about the lack of inspiration from the source material, i.e. comics. I'm a little tired of the fact that the thread of squeezing out Brock at the gym has been abandoned. I don't mind the distance from the classic plot with Spider-Man, but I would like at least one small easter egg referring to the hero.
To sum up, "Venom" is an interesting escape from MCU or DCEU films. So I'm giving the green light to projects of this type, where we're getting closer to a nemesis of popular heroes. So I am waiting for the solo positions telling the story of Morbius or the Joker.

I enjoy some super hero type films but not all of them - I can appreciate any film with decent special effects (CGI) and so on and this film does feature some pretty impressive visual effects. The cast give pretty decent performances I suppose. Its a fairly entertaining watch, if a bit far fetched plot wise but then I suppose that's to be expected. I liked one plot element featuring the owner of a small store near where the main character lives. This is an ok film but not more, so I wouldn't entirely recommend it, no. Expand

a typical Marvel movie, which is mostly aimed only at visualization, not at revealing the characters. I won't even talk about the fact that "it's not a canon in relation to a comic book" - no one initially, I think, counted on it.

El argumento es novedoso, nunca habíamos visto algo así, fuera de la fórmula repetitiva, pero aún así, es bastante típica su estructura, la fórmula de siempre con otro toque, que, en mi opinión, no funciona como debería, aún así cumple lo que quiere conseguir, que es entretener y ser gamberra, tener otro toque diferente al resto de películas de este estilo, y eso es un plus.

· Cosas buenas: Consigue su objetivo: entretener. La relación entre Tom Hardy y Venom es maravillosa, de lo mejor de la película, lo que más ganas tenía de ver. La acción está guay, aunque hay coreografías (sobre todo al final) algo confusas, y lo cómica que es, funciona bastante bien.
· Cosas malas: El villano es simplón, algunos efectos no casan bien, no tiene un tono uniforme, además, el resto de personajes no aportan demasiado, y el guion es algo irregular.
· Conclusión: Está bien para pasar el rato, te entretiene, tiene momentos cómicos y bastante chulos, pero no va más allá, quizás ni lo pretenda, funciona bien.

По трейлерам складывалось впечатление, что нас ожидаетКак сейчас помню новости о том, что снимают фильм про знаменитого врага Человека-Паука, как же сильно я ждал этот фильм. Для меня он был одним из самых ожидаемых фильмов года. По трейлерам складывалось впечатление, что нас ожидает действительно нечто необычное, была надежда, что данного персонажа наконец-то достойно представят в кино. Однако, с каждой новой новостью о фильме закрадывались смутные сомнения. К сожалению, они оправдались, но обо всём по порядку.
Сюжет - самое слабое место фильма. По трейлерам можно было узнать весь сюжет картины, никаких неожиданных поворотов не будет.
Визуальная часть, как и ожидалось, очень средняя. Экшен-сцены выглядят откровенно слабо, а финальная битва - это что вообще за мультик?!
Саундтрек очень средний.
Хотелось бы также отметить крайне неуместный и глупый юмор, который периодически проскальзывает в картине. Хотели комедию, а в итоге и здесь провалились, но всё же были и хорошие моменты, но и их было крайне мало.
Убийства, расчленёнка, море крови, разрывание конечностей, поедание людей заживо - всё это чего так сильно хотели фанаты, а в итоге получили фильм для детей.
Ещё хотелось бы сказать вот что: Почему показали только Бунта!? Почему не удосужились показать Крик, Лэшера, Агонию и Фейджа!? Это сделало бы фильм чутка лучше.
Единственный хоть какой-то плюс - это Том Харди. Видно, как он пытается вытащить весь фильм своей харизмой.
Подводя итог, хочется сказать, что Sony в очередной раз пытается заманить всех в кинотеатр красивыми трейлерами, а сам фильм оказался пустым, стандартным и бессмысленным.
Веном – это не хороший и не плохой фильм, он просто никакой. Очередная провальная попытка перенести на экран изначально мрачного и жестокого персонажа, где халтура проскальзывает практически во всём. Очень жаль.
