This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Venom, a character study.

Wow, this movie snuck-up on me. Hearing the overwhelmingly negative response from critics, and the reasonably positive response from movie-goers, it had left me jaded walking into the movie, however, I was very happy with the final result. Oddities:
In Australia, this movie was M15+, the profanity in it was pretty prolific (now, I'm not one to worry about that at all, as my favourite comedians are/were horribly profane - Jim Jefferies, Bill Burr, George Carlin, Bill Hicks), and the movie was thematically and visually dark - I wouldn't take my children to see this movie but we watched Ant-Man & the Wasp together and it was the same rating. My point here is that - surely, this wasn't far off an R rating and I don't think it would have undermined the box office performance - which I am very excited by because it opens up this entire world and universe - and brings the potential for one of the most immoral villains to come to the big screen in the sequel.
Anyway, I digress...
I really instantly connected with the character. I suffer ADHD, which essentially means that before I was diagnosed and receiving treatment, I tended to (often) make poor choices in interpersonal situations - saying inappropriate things without thinking of the consequences, I also lived very slovenly and was, generally - 'clever, but a hot mess'... So, Tom Hardy played to that aspect really well in the initial beats of the film. Now, I don't know if that's what he was going for, or if he was trying Schizophrenia/Dissociative Identity Disorder on (which seemed to be the modus operandi once infected with the symbiote), but nevertheless, it was clear that he too suffered from ADHD and wasn't receiving treatment for it, so the connection for me was instantaneous and highly personally gratifying, whereas for others, I know that they'd likely not feel the same way as I did...

I know that people were worried about the anti-hero aspect of the film in that "he's a hero as he saves the world" for the most part - yes - I will agree with this that he is more righteous than we may have thought he should be, however, he's not self-righteous, and he does bad, terrible, horrible things, like eating heads - or entire people (as he does in the end when he devours the convenience store robber) - and I'm sorry folks - HEROES DON'T DO THAT. Heroes do what they can to protect the innocent, and provide the bad guys to authorities so they can face consequences, they don't eat them... I am partial to a good anti-hero - I love the Punisher on Netflix - Jon Berenthal embodies him spectacularly, and I honestly didn't think that anyone could do it after Tom Jane's excellent turn in the movie in the early naughties, but again, I digress... I think Tom Hardy has done a marvellous job in this. I could see that there were numerous issues with the technical aspects of the film (CGI seemed cut-down and lower-budget) and a lot of it was left on the cutting-room floor, however, I had no trouble following the fights (which others have complained about) and I think that Michelle Williams and he were absolutely spot-on in their relationship - speaking from personal experience, "we" tend to... put people off, even our most loved ones, so for them to not have a great deal of chemistry, well that to me, was natural - I have messed up so many relationships as a result of my impulsivity and lack of self-awareness or of consequences, so it was reasonable that when he destroyed his and her career, that she would have had enough - clearly he'd messed-up before and hadn't gotten out of his own way.

I actually liked the villain in the piece, and I saw how both he and his bonded symbiote were driven to the same outcome in the end - infect humanity to save humanity, so to me that too was spot-on.

So, can I say to you, that if you watch it with very low expectations, as I had - you WILL be pleasantly surprised. I can't wait for the next instalment, Spider-man or no - but I do think that if some sort of deal can be spun, this would be perfect for a team-up for Maximum Carnage. Tom Hardy rocks and his performance in this movie is no exception - see it - just don't take your kids because it'll scar/scare them.

I don't get the negative press for this one. It's a perfect film in every way. It has a good buildup, good acting and dialogue, loads of cool actions scenes. Don't let the low scores put you off as you may enjoy it as much as I did.

Nobody channels Eddie Brock / Venom like Tom Hardy. As someone who had hundreds of Spider-Man comics when I was younger (I even owned a copy of Amazing Spider-Man #300 featuring the first full appearance of Venom), this is the PERFECT VenomNobody channels Eddie Brock / Venom like Tom Hardy. As someone who had hundreds of Spider-Man comics when I was younger (I even owned a copy of Amazing Spider-Man #300 featuring the first full appearance of Venom), this is the PERFECT Venom origin story. And when I see Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, Venom's alter ego, it makes me feel happy, contented and as fuzzy as the symbiote. In the comics, Eddie Brock is a character that is a bit of an outcast, is unsure of himself and gets even more confused (initially) when Venom entered his life, and Tom Hardy channels Eddie Brock to perfection!!! Venom in the comics had some dark-ish humour, and the humour that Venom spouts in the movie is spot on - in fact Venom gets the best one liners. And the biggest laughs from the audience. The movie portrays a beautiful symbiotic relationship between Eddie Brock and Venom, and shows progression in their relationship throughout the movie. The CGI for Venom is also spot on, making him a highly flexible and versatile character with the symbiotic extensions doing some cool stunts. It makes Venom look cool and dangerous at the same time. The pacing is just right, and Tom Hardy's versatility as an actor really stole the show, so much so that this would work even if this was a one man show. And the post-credit sneak preview is "one to die for" - I DEFINITELY want to see the next Venom - it'll be CGI carnage...

Peeps, forget the previous incarnation of Venom, this is the REAL deal. Possibly the best movie I've seen in 2018 to date. Stuff the stuffy professional critics. They haven't had any clue for the past 25 years and are no longer credible sources for good movies - much like the fake news. Go watch Venom. It's da bomb!

Riz Ahmed Is pretty bad as the villain. He gives an overly low key and one note performance throughout. Michelle Williams is Katie Holmes Batman Begins like miscast as well. While this might be the Venom character done right. Again, it’s just hard to utilize him without Spider-Man.
Yet Sony Picturrs has more movies like it planned. Kraven the Hunter and Black Cat, without Spider-Man.

Venom feels like a movie that simply couldn't decide what it wanted to be. The film has its issues, particularly with respect to its pacing and characters; however the chemistry between Tom Hardy and Venom carries the movie to stable standpoint.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Venom is a good movie, no doubt about it, but there are certain points that are just bad. In the beginning, there are so many minutes wasted to build something that has no purpose or doesn't pay off. No to mention the beginning is slow, and I mean really slow. Like, 1/3 of the people in the theater I was in had left before the exciting things to happen. I believe it takes 30 minutes for the real exposition to start. And then, boom. Someone's dying from a symbiote. Oh, look: Eddie has Venom. Oh look, someone else died. And there's Riot. Oop, Venom doesn't have Eddie anymore. Oh, now he does. Oh, now Riot's dead. Oh, credits. IMO it feels like this all happens in 10 minutes when it could have been beautifully separated and used a lot of that opening time to make it a better movie. With that said, it is so fun. Th effects are incredible and they do a really good job of creating an origin story without Spider-Man. There is also a lot of great comedy that doesn't slow down the story (for example, the absolute funniest moment in the whole movie only takes away 5 seconds from everything else, and then we're right back into one of the best scenes). My main critique is the screen-time Venom and Riot get, which is not a lot. But with all that being said, its just really good. I hope any sequel it gets is able to improve on this, and give a future to a lot of seemingly impossible comic book movies. Expand

Honestly I think Tom Hardy did a fine job in the beginning of creating this broken shell of a man, but he didn't translate it very well into a character who regained his confidence and strength later on, Venom having a complete 180 in attitude after almost being killed (on purpose) by his host doesn't make sense either.

The comedy probably isn't for some people but it is a really good 2 man banter with Tom Hardy acting as the straight man (the guy that sees things logically) and Venom being the one with the punchlines and setting things up, pretty decent duo to be honest, but it isn't artistic comedy it is more like the comedy you would have with your friends, which is why I enjoyed it so much, a homicidal monster making a poop joke is just something I can really appreciate.

CGI gets a lot of complaints and I genuinely don't know why, people are so insanely picky, the CGI represented Venom very well in my opinion, it could at most use a bit of touching up but especially the fight between Venom/Eddie and Riot/Drake was excellent to watch and look at.

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!

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.

Like a symbiotic parasite it can be a bit uncomfortable at first, but after getting to know Venom it's not actually a bad movie. Definitely flawed, like Eddie Brock, but worthy of redemption with a sequel.

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.

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.

The story follows journalist Brock (Tom Hardy) gaining superpowers after being bound to an alien symbiote whose species plans to invade Earth.

I love complicated main characters with good and evil sides to their personality or agendas. In this movie, it is the righteous Brock who believes in uncovering the truth, even if it means going up against the rich and influential figures, without fear of the consequences. This point alone makes me like the character a great deal. Exuding fearlessness in the name of righteousness and truth is undeniably a very admirable trait in a meaningful purpose.

When Brock gets infected with the symbiote parasite later, it gives him the power to stand up against the villainous force he has been fighting against morally. Though the idea isn't entirely original, it is nevertheless thrilling and gratifying to see a character you care about (yes, at the point where he got infected), to be able to kick asses in the most thrilling fashion. The parasite itself being not entirely benign, even violent and carnivorous against humans, makes their eventual physical and emotional bonding, a drooling, heart tingling, eye candy treat to savour.

Tom Hardy puts up a very charismatic performance with his genuine, natural, light hearted humorous lines that can be heard throughout the film. Not a moment of cheesiness. A big thumb up for this!

Why only a '7' for this movie? I would say the villain could be improved in terms of depth. Maybe if more were known about his past would be good. Making people care about characters including villains is one of the essentials to a good film.
The story, though pretty decent, is not that amazing. The plots aren't that unpredictable. Some unexpected twists would really be nice. I feel that the film is a bit reliant on the amazing action chorography to make up for that. But still it is a crucial missing element that brings down the movie by at least half a notch.

Verdict: Watch this movie!

I jump on the "better than I expected" train: I liked it and I don't understand all the hate.
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.

The special effects are great - I loved the transformation scenes.
Overall, I recommend it if you like the genre, want to have a good time with a dose of laughters and aren't overly hard to please.

El problema con las peliculas de super heroes es que siguen siempre tienen que seguir el protocolo de complacer a la productora, y la libertidad creativa se va a la ******, que no puede ser muy gore, que no puede tener demasiadas referencias por que la gente se pierde, que tiene que tener humor, que tiene que haber una mujer, y que debe haber escenas provocativas, todos los cliches habidos y por haber, todo para complecer al minimo comun denominador social

The relation of Brock and his girlfriend doesn't ring true, and change too fast in a way or another. I give it a 65% because Venom and Brock were interesting characters and some actions are pretty good. I wish the villain and girlfriend would felt less like an after though in the story. Second watch: The film was better then I tough initially. Still the girlfriend relation wasn't very well presented at first but got way better in the end. I think the ending action sequence wasn't very satisfying but all the rest was fun to watch. The villain was a miscast and his logic didn't hold up to anything realistic. The credit scene is absolutely amazing. I upgrade my review to 72%. Tom Hardy is a great actor, if they can give him a better cast around him, that would be great. Expand

Отторжение или симбиоз? Вот в чём вопрос...

Во время просмотра первой половины ленты складывается впечатление, что данный кинокомикс создавался по лекалам времён старой школы, по типу "сорвиголовы" или "халка", где о подаче материала, антигероев и общей структуры повествования особо не заморачивались, главное чтобы костюмчик сидел. В сравнении со вторым Дэдпулом или не дай "Стэн Ли" последним Логаном, начало фильма "Venom" бьётся в конвульсиях, как симбиот при низких частотах, потому что не несёт какой-либо смысловой нагрузки, а если задаться вопросом: "Какой у картины посыл?", беря в обиход, как критики любят делать на этом акцент, то становится ясно из-за чего у них такая низкая оценка, ведь ответом будет словосочетание: "Его нет!". При этом как только кино преодолевает рубеж десяти минут размазанных на час, "Веном" из ненапрягающего уныния с парочкой смешилок, становится добротным боевиком с парой десятков бугагашенек, где игра Харди - фон для закадрового голоса "чёрной грязи", что и тянет всю оставшуюся часть киноленты.

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.

Pros:
-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.

As Marvel movies go, this is a solid 8. Tom Hardy nails the part, fans of the Venom cartoon will recognize both Brock and the Venom Symbiote, and the Anti Hero humor of the cartoons have been very nicely translated to the silver screen. I dont usually like Marvel Flicks that much, but this one brought back my days as a regular buyer of everything Venom. Allthough its not the original origins story, it does fit seamlessly into the franchise. My only beef was with Carnage. I dont know why the **** they decided to recruit a hasbeen actor and stick a silly wig on him for the obligatory credits extra scene. It felt so off it was almost comedic in it self.

Why the hell critics hating this movie? I can agree the CGI could be better and there are some moments that are a little lackluster that should have been more in depth, but overall Tom Hardy was able to give a performance of an amazing EddieWhy the hell critics hating this movie?

I'll admit that I looked at the critic reviews before seeing Venom. After watching it, however, I see that critics can be wrong. Venom is a great film. It's not a masterpiece, but it's miles ahead of what I expected it to be.

However, it is still a well done and highly enjoyable movie. As a fan of the original Venom and all of his iterations I thought this movie succeeded in adding to his character while not overdoing it. Tom Hardy was awesome to watch as Eddie and the interactions he had with Venom were some of the highlights of the film. Not to mention, some of the fight scenes, like the fight with the s.w.a.t team, were so cool to watch!

If you're going into this looking for perfection, you'll be disappointed. Keep an open mind, sit back, and enjoy the show. Excited for the sequel.

Nothing like what critics say (I never trust their reviews, go by user reviews) - This movie did well at keeping a comedic approach to a dark series. Hardy does well at playing the part of dark characters.

The movie was good, I don't know why many people say was bad, the movie is funny, have good action scenes, good interactions between Eddie and Venom and nice plot, I hope Venom have a 2° part where we can see Carnage or Spidey

Finally we got a "Venom" movie that most of Marvel fans "Including Me" are waiting for, the movie has a slow start, but after 30+ mins things start getting interested, it is a good start for a Venom movie, like we used to see in other MCUFinally we got a "Venom" movie that most of Marvel fans "Including Me" are waiting for, the movie has a slow start, but after 30+ mins things start getting interested, it is a good start for a Venom movie, like we used to see in other MCU movies, you can't expect to witness the same level of MCU movies in "Venom", but it provides a decent story kick-off a one of the most loved villains in Marvel's World, the story is not very rich of what was happening, everything happens just so fast, but the conversation between the symbiot and Eddie is so iconic and adds some comedy, it is a recommended to watch especially for the fans, my only complain is I felt the movie is some kind of short.
