Verdict: Featuring an odd-couple chemistry with a solid direction and the right blend of fighting and laughing out loud in an otherwise chaotic but simple story, Venom may not be what you expected from a psychological and action-packed horror film as how it was marketed, rather than a disgusting (in a good way), goofy and silly dark comedy film made solely to plead the audience in such a fun and entertaining way.… Expand

Eddie Brock is infected with a symbiote from outer space by the name of Venom, and they are trying to take down a man who has had access to other symbiotes and is sacrificing innocent humans to find a way to merge alien and human so we can finally achieve space travel and habitation. There is a little bit more to it than that but that would get into spoiler territory. The story itself is nothing difficult to follow and that worked in it's favour in my view.

Tom Hardy plays Eddie and does a good job, had no issues with him and his connection to Venom is interesting to watch and they gel really well together, creating some funny moments of back and fourth banter between the two. Venom reminds me of that type of friend who is a goofball but lovable still, and my partner seemed to also like this character as she said she loved him by the end (despite biting off people's heads).

The humour itself is very silly but in a good way, a lot of Marvel films follow a very similar format and you kinda know what to expect each time, while this one felt more ridiculous but in a good way. It does have some serious things about it, but for the most part I just enjoyed what the movie gave me.

There is a slow build up to seeing Eddie and Venom join up, that is one of the negatives I have for the movie, it just feels like a slow build but I wasn't bored throughout the movie at all, I think I was just anticipating it a lot.

Action is fun but it can be a little hard to follow at times, especially the end fight, if you have seen the movie you will know what I am talking about, but just in general the movie is a little dark so its hard to see certain things, whether intentional or not, it doesn't take away from the movie that much. Also despite Venom having some pretty devastating attacks, it gets censored quite a bit so don't expect any gore, it isn't necessary but would've been cool to see a R rating Venom.

Critics really didn't like this movie which surprised me, I honestly had a good time watching it, as did my partner, felt different from the standard MCU film and just was a good time. It is by no means a perfect movie, but I never went in expecting that, I just sat back and had a good time. Give it a watch and judge for yourself, you may agree with the critics, or you might just enjoy yourself.… Expand

I really enjoyed Venom.

The good: Tom Hardy acts his heart out as a loser on a mission, Riz Ahmed plays a psychopathic tech billionaire convincingly and Jenny Slate performed a conflicted scientist well. The CGI for Venom was well done. II really enjoyed Venom.

The good: Tom Hardy acts his heart out as a loser on a mission, Riz Ahmed plays a psychopathic tech billionaire convincingly and Jenny Slate performed a conflicted scientist well. The CGI for Venom was well done. I thought the time spent on Eddie's backstory was good, because it meant we got to know his character. There's quite a few funny moments between Eddie and Venom.

You may not like: The action doesn't start until late in the movie. I can't comment on how this portrayal of Venom holds up to the comics. In some of the fight scenes, it's very hard to see what is going on because it's a jumbled mess.

In summary, this is a really good film if you don't mind the build up to the action.… Expand

-The action is decent.
-The performances are quite good.
-The score is good.
-The visuals for the symbiotes in particular look great. Cons:
-The pacing feels a bit off in a way I can’t really describe but I feel this movie would have benefited from an extra 30 minutes or so.
-Venom’s relationship with Eddie and his decision to save the earth feel incredibly forced with little to no build up.
-They don’t even try to explain how Venom survived being burned up after the final battle.
-Some of the action feels like it was held back by the movie’s PG 13 rating. I feel like this movie could have really benefited from going full on R rated.

Final verdict: Venom is a decent movie with some glaring flaws and I really feel it was held back by it’s desire to be under 2 hours and to be PG 13. If they had allowed for another hour or so and went full R rated, this likely would have been a lot better. As it is, however, it’s still enjoyable enough and if you just want to see a decent cinematic representation of Venom after Spider-Man 3 failed to deliver on that regard, I’d say go ahead.… Expand

i don't know why everybody is hating on this movie. It was a good movie. I actually thought this movie was going to be bad by looking at the trailer. But it turned put to be pretty good.

Venom is a fair movie that isn't too serious. The good is that it's not generic comic stuff that we've seen with Avengers movies. More for your comic book fans than casual fans.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An extremely encapsulating, and often funny, thriller. The viewer is sent into horror as Eddie's life comes crashing down, and is seemingly condemned to a life of misery after being taken over by an abomination of a "parasite". The viewer's spirit, however, is subsequently lifted and thoroughly entertained by the epic brotherhood shared by 2 polar opposites: the perfect character arc.… Expand

Venom is not what I expected, it’s better. Definitely don’t believe the critics on this one, it’s an ok to actually good movie. The soundtrack by Ludwig Göransson was phenomenal and the acting was good too. I heard critics say that Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is a blank slate without any character, but he does have character, there’s just no character arc. The conflict within Venom and Eddie was really interesting to see. I love how Venom at first wanted to invade the Earth but then decides he doesn’t want to do that anymore, or that he confesses that he is kind of a loser on his home planet, it gives Venom a lot more character. The acts were a bit inconsistent in running time, the first act takes almost an hour and the second and third act take almost half an hour each. But apart from that, a fun movie to watch.… Expand

'Venom' is just funny. Don't listen to the critics since they expected a really serious, sci-fi horror film. The film itself is good, but the comedy just brings it right out of the box. So if you want a good laugh, then you should watch this.

Apparently, there is nothing I like that the critics do not hate, and vice versa. I was very nearly prepared to give this film an 8 simply because I expected one and all to rate it a 10, or maybe a 1000. Clearly, I should've known.

HavingApparently, there is nothing I like that the critics do not hate, and vice versa. I was very nearly prepared to give this film an 8 simply because I expected one and all to rate it a 10, or maybe a 1000. Clearly, I should've known.

Having seen Hellboy (Ron Perlman), and Deadpool 1 & 2, and Antman (both of them), and now Venom, I have to say that these comic superhero flicks are much easier to take, and more entertaining, than the spandex flicks which take themselves seriously. It's a little like watching yet another John McClane actioner. Without the humor, the sarcasm, the irony, I start yawning and checking the elapsed time in hopes it'll soon be over.

The effects are fine. The action sequences run a little long at times, but not so long that I'm tempted to sledgehammer my DVD player. I wouldn't say that there are any Oscar-worthy performances here, but everybody gets the job done. And it was interesting to see the current boyfriend of the former love interest actually taking a role of some significance in the unfolding of the plot.

Technically, I'll give Venom a [7.5]. It was better than just OK, though I don't feel it's quite worth an [8]. Admittedly, it came close.… Expand

There is humor that is not excessive (fewer jokes than Ragnarock or Suicide Squad for example), there is violence and action in the right amount...almost no gore but Eddie eat people and you can feel the punches during fights...it's not a slasher movie and does not need to be, almost no abused slow motion action sequences, main baddie isn't memorable but it does a good job in being the bad guy viewers will hate, right length, it has quotes and references from comic book (4 example dialogue between Venom and Eddie, aftercredit surprise, lethal protector comics quotes and so on) .
This Venom is a much much much better one than the one in Spiderman 3: It is a big guy, use tenacles and morphing attributes, Symbiote is merciless-dangerous and have an "alien" mind and morality. Negative aspects are: Plot is predictable, there is no trace of Spiderman whatsoever, Venom "suit up" a little late in the movie...but, apart form spidey absence, they aren't a big deal .
I hope for a sequel.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All in all a perfectly okay superhero movie, and in this age when anything outside of the MCU is hit or miss, that gets a kudos. But there's an issue here with the potential to ruin the future of the franchise...

Here's what I liked: the classic Venom banter... the effects were a bit ropy but clean, especially during this one scene that had no business being visually decipherable... awesome car chase... the fact that it made me forget the total, permanent absence of Spiderman "in this universe."

Here's what I didn't like: it could (should?) have run an extra 20-30 minutes... and this movie had no right to be as utterly bloodless as it was (except for the obligatory heroic near-fatal wound.) **spoiler alert** To completely shun the color red in a movie where aliens wield giant f*^&-me battleaxe arms and people get their heads bitten off is, dare I say, a true feat of artlessness. This movie would have been a near ten if it wasn't so afraid to be what it was. I f*%&ing loved seeing Woody Harrelson with red hair in the post-creds... However, again, I have instant reservations about seeing Cletus Kasady in a franchise that flinches at showing actual carnage. If they even try it, the sequel will be a spectacular failure.

Don't wimp out on us now, Sony. You have a chance to really do something special with what you're teasing here. Just go for that R like you mean it!… Expand
