I did not even notice when it was two hours. The film brought a lot of freshness. As a typical representative of the entertainment science-fiction genre, it performs its role perfectly. Some of us take it too seriously.

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

This is my favorite Marvel movie yet! A breath of fresh air with an amazing performance from Ben Hardy. It's something new, gives another perspective of "superheros", it's real. 10 in my book! ;)

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Venom is WAY better than most of these negative reviews are saying. It is a fantastic, but quick, ride to the introduction of Venom in the MCU. It was obvious why Sony went PG13 so they had some kind of way of HOPEFULLY getting Venom in a Spider-Man film or vice versa BUT even with the PG13 rating you still get what makes Venom fun...... A friggin comic book character biting off people's heads!!!.....literally, in the movie he is eating people on screen.

Venom had a ton of fun moments including the standout introduction of Venom fully formed on screen using powers of all sorts. The inevitable comedic moments were great, and one may be the funniest comedic moment of ALL comic book films for me on screen when Venom asks Eddie to jump from a high building. It actually made me laugh out loud, along with just about all the other movie goers there with me, maybe 20 people at a Monday 11am showing.

The ending setup for a future villain is amazing due to their INCREDIBLE casting of Venom's biggest, most sadistic villain. This movie is fantastic good fun and I can't wait for the inevitable sequel.

Venom is an ambitiously accurate portrayal of the anti hero comic character that sets itself apart from the tired and formulaic MCU as a highly entertaining standalone origin story. While it may break away from the comics slightly by notVenom is an ambitiously accurate portrayal of the anti hero comic character that sets itself apart from the tired and formulaic MCU as a highly entertaining standalone origin story. While it may break away from the comics slightly by not including the Spiderman origin story, the true characterization integrity within Eddie Brock/Venom is bombastic and extremely close to source material. The story alteration might even improve the overall direction of this new standalone Venom series because now we can truly focus on Brock/venom and not have Parker/Spiderman constantly take away from his attention. I believe we’ve had enough of Spiderman, and honestly after the travesty that was Homecoming imho, I’m fine with that for now. Venom starts off with a bang and we get some nice new aspects to how the symbiotes came to be in this earth as well as some great character development of Eddie Brock’s life before Venom. Let me just say that Tom Hardy Makes this entire film work with a completely passionately versatile performance showing immense acting talent like he always does. Once Eddie Brock achieves full symbiosis, it becomes an absolutely intense and fun experience to witness, and it really brought me back to the old comics. I’ve been a fan of venom for nearly 30 years and I can honestly say they nailed the relationship between Brock and venom, and it’s damn right awesome to see it on the big screen. The action never lets up after that and there were some insanely well done sequences full of amazing visuals. I honestly thought the CGI use for venom looked spectacular, and about as good as you could have it. The unexpected X factor of this film was it’s hilariously twisted dialogue between Brock and venom, and honestly at times it was almost charming in a way. While there were a few bits that were absolutely ridiculous I was able to overlook those few and far between moments. I thought Riz Ahmed what is a serviceable enough Carlton drake/riot, and played the conniving billionaire villain decently. I do think the plot was a bit rushed towards the end, but the finale was very exciting regardless. The post credit scene leaves you with an incredible sense of anticipation for the next venom installment as it introduces one of the most violent and brutal characters in all of comics. I did however think he was going to be in this film a lot more and was slightly disappointed ,but when I know what the future holds, I can forget about that slight nitpick. Another huge aspect of this film that breaks away from the safe MCU formula, is its sheer visceral brutality minus any blood really. They actually did a great job on a PG-13 rating making it still a very dark and violent film with some outstanding body horror sequences. I do really hope that they will go for an R rating for the sequel once carnage starts wreaking pure havoc. They would benefit so much from making it R rated. Overall an excellent origin tale,and a surprisingly funny film that deserves a ton of credit for going against the grain and breaking out of MCU formulas to start its own Venom universe. I cannot wait for the next film. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No idea what movie everyone else saw. Is this film perfect, no.  Hardly any movie is ever perfect.  So, I really don't understand why this movie has so much hate.  But the film provided much character depth to Eddie Brock that allowed you to get to know his life, while still going forward with the movie.   While yes, Venom's backstoy leaves you wanting more, we do still get an idea of what his species is like, how they work, and overall what their goals are. That can easily be expanded on in the future. It was just under a 2-hour movie trying to cram together years of storyline from the comic books, and I felt like they were successful. Giving us a strong foundation, while still sitting up a future sequel.  The speed and action of the film was really consistent, without any dull moments.  My first and foremost major concern with the film was the lack of Spider-Man. however, the film did an excellent job of setting up a completely different origin Venom without the web Slinger that I can honestly say I am happy with.  It does not fit in our traditional sense of how Venom comes to be, but I find it truly acceptable.  ***Spoilers ahead***  the only major concerns I can see what the film is the sudden shift from the Symbiote wanting to Simply stay alive, and then turning sharply into wanting to stay on Earth with Eddie. Granted it was difficult to try and convey that thought process with so much else going on, I feel like at least a little bit more depth to it would have really helped the film.  but at least we did get somewhat of an understanding, and knowing that Venom is actually a weaker, and loser, among his species. So having the chance to shine and be a superior being for once, does answer some of those questions. A lot of people seem to be really confused about the medical examination results. And which Eddie is shown to be dying and the doctor believes that the Symbiote is killing him. While this is proven that other hosts were being slowly killed off by their symbiotes, those test subjects were not being properly fed. and also with Venom stating that the doctor did not know what he was talking about, and that he can cure it, gives away a lot of Clues. In the comic books, Eddie contracts a rare and deadly form of cancer. The cancer slowly eats away at his body and the only thing keeping him alive was the Venom symbiote. So I'm almost positive that the thing that is actually killing his body will turn out to be cancer and has nothing to do with Venom. plus, it is doubtful that Eddie had ever had such a massive examination before gaining the Symbiote. So it is highly unlikely that they would have ever even noticed cancer eating away his body prior to that.  Also, a lot of people are complaining about the fact that Venom was able to bond with other beings besides Eddie. However the bonding was only temporary to others. He had also gone through several hosts at this point, and probably learn to at least temporarily coexist with an inferior match.  Riot, however was a extremely different case. Yes, we saw him take on several hosts throughout the film but it was a completely different method. His hosts were more like prisoners. There was not a bonding process, and seem to be more like a possession. Which seem to fit his character very well, considering he was like a general among his species and one of the strongest. He apparently did not need to have a perfect host in order to bond. it was not until the end of the film that he actually found a kindred spirit and the two of them were able to work together.  Beyond these minor issues, the film did not have many. For some reason, the critics have chosen to be extremely harsh on this film. I don't know if it's because people in general seem to hate Sony films, or if the reviewers have become jaded with superhero films all together. Regardless, I suggest to everyone go watch the movie.

When he merges with the symbiote Venom we experience the strangeness of merging with this other form of life. The symbiote has adapted to survival as have we. It share's the hosts mind and fortunately the person he inhabits is a true hero, one who sacrifices for the greater good. This gives the symbiote a chance to learn something more important for survival than selfishness and responding to fear.

Don't listen to the critics. This movie is great! Funny, with a very good pace, and great acting from Tom Hardy.

Seems to me that only sh***y boring movies get great scores from critics.

Единственный весомый минус для меня - рейтинг и то, что Веном ведет себя не как безжалостный убийца и злодей, а как подросток, которому все ново и все интересно. Expand

The film is cool, I do not know why critics rated it so badly. the only drawback of the film is that it is short (It’s about a half hour movie). But I liked the movie.

The plot was the only weak point of this movie, tons of holes and way too short and focusing on the backgrounds of wrong things, foreshadowing time that took up significant chunks of the movie for singular joke scenes instead of foreshadowingThe plot was the only weak point of this movie, tons of holes and way too short and focusing on the backgrounds of wrong things, foreshadowing time that took up significant chunks of the movie for singular joke scenes instead of foreshadowing proper plot points. 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.

Having wanted a venom movie since Spiderman 3 dishonored venom I've been waiting for venom to get the spotlight and boy does he have it now. The pacing is a bit slow at first but once the symbiote takes hold it is a wild ride. The action scenes are top notch and fun to watch. The cgi looks great especially venom and other symbiotes. The relationship between Eddie and venom is the best thing the movie has to offer. Tom Hardy nails his role and his dialogue with venom is both funny and a blast to watch. This is definitely an underrated movie it isn't bad at all. It's definitely not perfect, my main issues being the overall story and some out of character comedic moments but most of it is great and venom steals the show. I actually wish the movie was longer so we could see more of venom but he's shown enough so its a fair exchange. Oh and the pg13 rating feels about right, though yes venom does bite heads off in this movie and it shows it so I'm not mad about the rating. Overall it's a great movie and I hope to see more of venom and even Spiderman in future films. 8/10 Expand

Not too sure what film the critics watched on this occasion but a 3.5 out of 10 this film is not.

The film overall is standard comic book movie stuff, I can see if your a fan of the source material you may be somewhat disappointed but judged on its' own it is an enjoyable film with solid performances from the cast all round, Hardy in particular does a great turn during Brock's more unhinged moments and the action sequences are well put together, the CGI can be a bit jarring at times but not enough to really detract from the film.

The interactions between Venom and Brock are equal parts funny and menacing which is even more amusing when you consider both are played by Hardy.

I won't go into spoiler territory but suffice to say this isn't Citizen Kane and if you went in expecting that it would be that's more of a you problem than any failing of the film, as I say I understand people upset that this isn't a faithful adaptation of the source material but the fact remains this is a solidly enjoyable comic book film well worth your time and money.
