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.

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 The CGI is outdated for an 80s movie.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

It is a really silly movie, but that's actually what redeems it. Without the entertaining silliness, the movie would have little leg to stand on. The best parts are the parts with the Venom voice in Brock's head (especially initially), and the action scenes with Venom. Overall, a silly movie with a different approach to the superhero genre, but nonetheless, entertaining and a bit unique. Watch, even if it's just to see how silly a movie can get.… Expand

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Venom is directed by Ruben Fleischer, written by Jeff Pinkner, Scott Rosenberg and Kelly Marcel, and starring Tom Hardy, Riz Ahmed and Michelle Williams.

Screen story by Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg and it's about an investigative journalist Eddie Brock attempts a comeback following a scandal, but accidentally becomes the host of an alien symbiote that gives him a violent super alter-ego: Venom. Soon, he must rely on his newfound powers to protect the world from a shadowy organisation looking for a symbiote of their own.

As one of the most anticipated movie of 2018, this review will contain lots of spoilers.. you've been warned!

The plot of this movie is showing us that the symbiotes has arrived to our little blue planet, apparently by Carlton Drake, and then one of them escaped, and that's all! I wanted more, I wanted at least to know how did Drake know that these creatures are even existing, not only seeing the plane coming to Earth just like that, it was more than fast-paced than it should actually be.. and this is my biggest issue with this movie, it might be not that big, but when it comes in THE PLOT, it must be the biggest!!!

Now to the first act... It was good as an introduction of every-single-one in this movie, but it went so slow-paced, it was fine for me after that huge fast-paced plot.

The second act begins and the fun starts by Eddie gets Venom by Maria, and from that very specific moment (when Eddie got infected) the movie got so fun and fast-paced, with some amazing chasing mixed with action and a very exciting soundtrack, but it's not sinless because the second act has some very bad CGI, especially when the camera was focused on Eddie while driving. But Eddie talking to Venom was so amazing I can't describe how amazing these scenes were!! Then we get the very first whole Venom appearance scene, which was very good, but very short though, and here is another issue, we don't get that much of Venom scenes, we get his voice and some of his gadgets, I wanted more of that amazing creature!

The third act was very good, I got satisfied especially when I saw the She-Venom, I didn't even think that they would actually put her in! Everything was great, until the finale, it was breathtaking, but very very short, but still very entertaining, but I hoped that it lasted more than what we got. The CGI was pretty good, and the soundtrack too.

The movie was really good, I liked it, it disappointed me because I didn't get that much of the things I wanted to see in it, I mean the movie is just 1h 52min, they could have make it longer, but anyways it's some very talented performances except for Michelle Williams as Anne Weying, she was very annoying and I didn't enjoy watching her, and it has also a good story mixed with amazing action sequences and a great OST. I'm gonna give Venom a B+.

Alright, guys, thank you as always for reading my review, let me know if you like my reviews or not, and I welcome all the comments.… Expand

Ahmed carries his weight well against him but sadly, His villain doesn't get that much screen time so it's hard to really establish him. The dark humour is solid, No objection to that. The action is really watered down to keep that PG-13 rating and I pray that the sequel is rated R. And I absolutely hate that it takes an entire hour for Venom to finally appear onscreen and 40 minutes after that, The movie is over. So you don't really get much there, Which is a shame because Brock/Venom is the best part of the movie. Overall, Venom is watchable but far from perfect and it should have been so much better than what it was.… Expand

A few scenes seemed like they were missing a lot of stuff, no really there was one scene that just stopped. None of the scenes had proper transitions. This could be the main reason that the pacing was awful as well. The pacing in this film was off for this type of movie. This is supposed to be an action-packed thrill ride but it’s just slow. Now the main villain is just so bland. He has no evil mastermind plan and doesn't even have a reason for doing what he does. He doesn’t act like a villain. Now the acting in this film wasn’t that bad but it just didn’t come across as people I want to root to win. One thing I look for in movies is character development and if the characters had any. This movie had very little to none. The final bad thing I want to talk about is the tone of the film. This film is PG, in Canada, and PG13, in USA, so they had to throw in some humour for the kids but when it doesn’t fit the tone of the movie, don’t. There were way too many forced jokes into this movie that was just out of place. Now the only good thing about this movie was the action shots. Once the action happened then that’s when I was fully invested in the movie. The action shots and the music that went with it was terrific. They looked well rehearsed and well shot and the editing on those scenes were spectacular. In the end, “Venom” was a slow movie that was only worth it for the action scenes and probably would have been better with an R rating.… Expand

Eddie Brock is authoritative journalist, and he going to expose famous businessman Carlton Drake. But his influence is stronger and main character lost his job. Eddie doesn’t give up and penetrates to Carlton’s office and find a symboit called Venom. All symboit from other planet and they are need hosts to exist normally. Eddie becomes a host for Venom and together they are doing some supervillian’s things.

I really liked Tom Hardy’s act, the cast in this film is awesome. Special effects and computer graphics are great and realistic. Venom, as it turned out, is really funny guy, but sometimes he eats heads. The script could be better, it very simple, but some dialogs are cool.

In general, I’d recommend this film, if you want to see a good cast, cool computer graphics and Tom Hardy’s face.… Expand

Yes it's not the best movie, It doesn't deserve any award but it's fun to see and that's because:
Tom Hardy who is "Eddie Brock" and "Venom" both have a great sense of humor and Tom acts excellently which really gets you to be involved with his characters, it was so good I didn't realise Venom and Eddie were done by the same person.
It's not too full of action like many movies are nowadays and it's annoying when they rely heavily on CGI. But this one doesn't. Yes, there are moments of action and lots of CGI, but it has a build up of the plot towards it and so you become invested in both what's happening and the characters.
I find the whole premise about space really intriguing as having a rich figure who can do as he pleases and is above the law is really interested, it almost make me think of what Elon Musk could become one day

But in conclusion, I don't understand why critics are so hard on this movie, yes it has moments where it isn't as good but it has lots of fun and enjoyable ones too. So it really provides for a fun viewing. But don't go if you're looking for an incredible masterpiece.… Expand

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.… Expand

After seeing how the world is and coming to a conclusion that it is having a big problem with health and the society in general, a company named "Life Foundation" decide to take the resesrchers beyond the earth, trying to get some bigAfter seeing how the world is and coming to a conclusion that it is having a big problem with health and the society in general, a company named "Life Foundation" decide to take the resesrchers beyond the earth, trying to get some big discoveries and develop somehow our planet, during one of these expeditions they find around the space a some symbionts that need a host to express themselves in our world, at leats. Eddie Brock is a reporter tha likes to make questions that people don't like to answer, after some sequence of events one of those symbionts named Venom, ends up in his body and they start a strange adventure. Directed by Ruben Fleischer and written by Scott Rosenberg, Jeff Pinkner, Kelly Marcel and Will Beall.
This movie started pretty well, they introduce Eddie, so as Annie in a way that you got to know both of them, at least enough, to we get to care for them and know what is going on in both of their lives. They did exemplified the work that Eddie did, showing some flashes of other jobs. The biggest problem with the story of this movie, is that they didn't presented the problem until the 3rd act, it felt like they didn't had anything to do until that point of the movie, and suddently someone that was making the movie said "damn, make this monster want to destroy the world now for no reason at all", it is this bad, it is that cliche situation that the villain simply wants to destroy the word just for the sake of it, the movie was being fun and stuff, just without a purpose, it was going in one direction and suddently became another, apparently just to have bigger and explosives action scenes. Action scenes that i liked it, the power of Venom is pretty nice to watch, they did some nice moments with him, a lot of adrenaline in this movie, just the fight among the symbionts in some moments didn't worked out, in some moments you just couldn't understand what was going on, but in general it was a lot of fun. The story does have one big plot twist for the character of Venom, that for me it didn't worked out at all, it was completely unnatural, for one moment to the other things completely change and not with a reasonable reason, it was like a click, in a matter of fact, the situation was more for that not happen, that didn't made much sense for me. Riot journey during this movie was bad, the lack of explanation in this movie really make things worst, things come out of nowhere and apparentely knowing everything. One thing that i found ridiculous, is that people are seeing something unbelievable for the first time, and they react to that like if it was something simple, it is so nonsense, people seeing a giantic monster for the first time and they act like it is just some car accident. There are some dialogues in this movie that was just sad.
Probably the biggest hit in this movie is the interaction between Eddie and Venom, it was good, it was definely very fun they talking to eachother.
Visually i really liked this movie, Venom cgi was very good, how he looks is dope and scary in a determined point of view, i think that they did got it right, the eyes, tongue and muscular grandiosity, that all combined with his voice, that is a 100% for me, it was great. There are some moments that Venom "skin", is bothered with something and it started moving, it is visually nice as well.
Tom Hardy did had some nice touches in this movie, he did a character that feel not very secure and use different tons of voice, he was definely funny, and in some moments a bit exaggerated during some moments in a way that wasn't pleasing anymore. Michelle Williams is here, she does convince in what she do, she feel concerned about Eddie and want to help, she have a confident way to look and say. Riz Ahmed portrays a cliche villain, that is just evil and think, or pretend, that he is helping the whole world, his acting is full of those faces and quotes, i don't think he did a bad job, just wasn't the best character. Jenny Slate is fun, everytime that she spoke was definely a nice momen, like some sort of relief.
The soundtrack of this movie is very nice, it is a subtle beat in some moments that it is definely very pleasant, and in other it gets into some agitated action thing, that it did combined with what was happening.
Venom is a very fun movie, the characters are nice, the action is fun and the movie is also very funny, but the story is a mess, but i definely did had a nice fun watching.… 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

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

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. InThe 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!… Expand

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!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Luego de ver la película puedo decir que salí satisfecho del cine, no es mala pero tampoco es tan buena, creo que cumple con su cometido de ser una película de acción basada en cómics. La química entre Edie Brock( Tom Hardy) y Venom es muy buena, de la mejores cosas de la cinta.
Por otra parte cabe destacar que no innova en cuanto a guion o técnicas cinematográficas, las escenas tienden a ser genéricas e incluso hubo partes donde se pudo observar que las escenas no coincidían, por poner un ejemplo la escena de la cita entre Edie y su novia.
Creo que el villano es bastante pobre y que muchas cosas pasan por que el guion lo demanda, tales como el echo de que venom cambie de parecer en cuanto a sus intenciones con Edie y el planeta. Destaco el diseño de los simbiontes y las actuaciones ya que estuvieron bien ejecutadas.
Otra cosa que ciertamente me molesto fue el estilo de arte que tuvo la película en relación con su clasificación ya que ocurren desmembramientos sin sangre y es algo que rompe con la inmersión, ademas los trailers la pintaban con un tono mas serio y adulto.
La banda sonora y el trabajo de cámara estuvieron bien pero solo eso, no pude notar algo que sea realmente memorable.
La adaptación del cómic me pareció relativamente buena y espero su secuela para ver como adaptan las demás historias ya que al no tener a spiderman como eje central, veo difícil una buena ejecución pero ahí es donde juegan un papel importante las habilidades de los guionistas.… Expand

It shouldn't be this hard to make a superhero horror movie. We've had a few successes over the years with the likes of The Crow, Hellboy, and one or two others. Venom is more along the lines of Spawn though. Gets too caught up with humor. Even worse is that it fundamentally misunderstands the character.

I hear a lot of people criticizing this for being "tonally inconsistent." I don't really agree with that. To me it seemed like the tone was steadily focused on being lighthearted entertainment throughout. Just another product of the superhero craze. Which of course doesn't do the character justice. The reason so many were excited for a Venom movie was because he would bring something different to the table. A darker, villainous alternative to the MCU films. Instead we got something that tries to emulate the same kind of laughs and big-blockbuster thrills that Disney is using to conquer box-office sales multiple times per year with only the briefest, fleeting glimpses at the people-munching monster we were supposed to get. An approach that might not have been too bad had the movie been better made.

The action is pretty generic. We get a car chase and a bunch of guys with guns getting thrown around. Occasionally someone will get their head bitten off. Nothing too exciting. Even the big symbiote battle is kind of lame because of how blurry it all is. The CGI is really dodgy. Something is also off with Venom's design. His head is fine, but the body looks weird. Not a fan. His enemy "Riot" looks so much cooler. A foe who is brought to life by Riz Ahmed in a very memorable, charismatic, and arrogant performance.

There's never a dull moment though because things keep moving. Venom rushes from plot point to plot point so the time flies by. As a matter of a fact a meaty portion of it's 2h 20m running time is dedicated to the credits. Not the kind you sit through to see the stinger either. This naturally hurts the development of things a lot. Like how the symbiote goes from "I own you" to "you changed me" in the course of what feels like 20 minutes. There's a buddy element between Eddie and his extraterrestrial hanger-on that never feels fleshed out.

It's also never really explained how Eddie is able to keep the suit from killing him. I was able to intuit that he's protecting his body by keeping the symbiote fed or maybe Venom itself just decided to stop gradually feasting on his organs, but it's never something the movie addresses. It just stops being a danger to him at a some point. I also think it's odd how his fiancé immediately dumped him when she lost her job (was his fault) without any feeling. Just completely moved on with her life to the point where a mere six months later we learn that she's been seeing a guy long enough for him to have a key to her apartment. Maybe her and Eddie had some other problems, but it certainly didn't seem that way. Then we're supposed to believe she starts helping him when he gets the symbiote because she still cares for him a little? Uh honey, if you were capable of human emotions then you wouldn't have completely annihilated your relationship with him like you did. That's just cold. Why does he want her back again?

The biggest flaw with the movie though is that this isn't really Venom. I like how it portrayed the duality of the character. Both Eddie and Venom are in constant communication and have differing degrees of control. However their dynamic is far too cute. Silly buddy comedy stuff that's good for chuckles, but is a poor fit for the anti-hero. What the movie fails to understand is that Venom's appeal comes from more than his appearance. There's a tragedy to his story that made his rise from villain to sometimes hero so compelling. In the comics Brock was guy who thought he lost everything, but found out he had more to loose after bonding with an alien parasite. He thought it was great at first, but it took him down a dark path. Using his desire for revenge to manipulate him and gained control of his life. None of that is found here. The guy goes through some bad stuff, but then the symbiote comes along and makes it all better. Removing the danger of their pairing. Instead making it look like something you would want to do because you would quickly become best friends and get superpowers.

This is a waste of a great Tom Hardy performance. A mediocre superhero flick that I could have forgiven for only briefly touching on the body horror elements had it actually felt like a movie about Venom. I wasn't even bothered by the PG-13 rating because the character mattered more and it was totally possible to do him (them?) right without bloody violence. Instead they played it safe and made him your typical superhero. Surrounding him with predicable humor and action that is behind the standards set by the MCU. I was never bored so I can't say don't watch it, but the Venom fan in me was sorely disappointed.… 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

The critics are full of feces, they are too high up their butts and forgot what going to the cinema is all about: having a laugh and an exciting time watching a good flick.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is bad, but it’s not ‘Suicide Squad’ bad or anything. People are saying that it feels like it belongs in the mid 2000’s. Yeah. I get Toby Maguire era Spider-Man vibes from this movie. But this is a much better portrayal of Venom than in ‘Spider-Man 3’’. While we’re talking positives, I think that Tom Hardy actually did a really great job with the character of Eddie Brock. He’s probably the best part of this movie. Venom himself looks pretty good. Also, I’ll just say it, I actually enjoyed some of this movie. Not ironically. I even laughed at a few of the jokes. But, I didn’t love it or anything. It was boring for 40 minutes, but 60 minutes were actually not torture. The other 12 minutes were the credits and the ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’ clip after the credits. Obviously, Sony knew this was going to be bad, so they advertised a (hopefully) better movie at the end of it. The clip was pretty good. It was just the best. I have to talk about Woody Harrelson. He is in the movie, but he’s only in the mid credits scene. He has the stupidest, most distracting bright red wig on, and I laughed so hard in the theater. Woody Harrelson is the best, I love him, but I hate that he’s going to be in this movie’s sequel. Anyway, Eddie gets an interview with the character who I assume is a serial killer. He says some stuff, I don’t really remember specifics, but I remember his last line, which was something along the lines of ‘when I get out of here, I’m gonna create some carnage’. Why? Also, he wrote ‘Welcome Eddie’ in blood, but I don’t know where he get blood unless it was his own, which, if he where a serial killer, why would he want to hurt himself? It was a really stupid scene, but it does remind me a bit of the scene in the lobster restaurant. It was equal to the scene where Peter Parker was dancing in ‘Spider-Man 3’. Everything from the beginning to when Eddie gets Venom was just okay. Once Eddie actually got Venom, the movie goes insane and the true terribleness of this movie starts to become undeniable, and the problems just roll in. The biggest problem for me is the plot. I’m gonna do my best to explain the plot to you.

So, Eddie is this news reporter who’s doing really well and he’s (locally?) famous. He gets a big interview that could make or break his career, and then screws it all up. He gets fired, loses his girlfriend, and now Drake (I don’t remember if that’s even his name) knows Eddie’s name (this will make sense in a second). A little while later, we find out some exposition about the symbiotes. And then Eddie takes a dump in front of his door because his neighbor is playing rock music that’s waaaaaay too good (if you’ve seen the movie, you know what I’m talking about). Soon after, a science girl confronts Eddie and says, ‘expose Drake because he’s killing hobos’. Eddie says, f**k you’, or at least he would’ve if this was rated R. He waits a minute and then says ‘yeah, okay’. He goes into Drake’s testing lab thing and finds his homeless friend who gives him Venom. By the way, Venom is the best character right after Eddie. He’s a good tool for comedy. Anyway, Eddie tries multiple times to figure out what’s happening to him, but no one can figure it out until Venom reveals himself. And then, a bunch of stuff happens, Drake gets Riot, and Riot wants to kill Eddie, which he successfully does, causing me to feel nothing. Eddie dies only to be saved by Venom who sacrificed himself by being burnt as a parachute floating Eddie to safety, which is said to be one of his two weakness, and also Riot and Drake are dead. And then Venom’s just kind of not dead. This is not explained. The whole sacrifice thing was really stupid because, yes, Eddie was falling from a pretty high altitude, but he landed in water. Not only is Venom fine against water, which we saw an example of earlier in the movie, but that water would’ve put out the fire that was killing Venom. Why act like Venom is dead when there’s no possible way that Venom died? Was that explained in a deleted, of which there are 40 minutes worth? Probably. The movie ends with Stan Lee giving Eddie inspiration. Oh, and did I mention the part where Venom called Eddie a p***y. And that lobster scene, oh boy. Or even the part where the female love interest get Venom and we see a sexy Venom with boobs. A lot of weird things happen in this movie.

Also, I just wanted to mention the interview Tom Hardy did where he not only stated that 40 minutes was cut out of this movie (probably to make it PG-13), and those 40 minutes contained his favorite scenes of the movie. I feel bad for Tom Hardy because he signed up for a movie he was told was going to be R-rated, and since Tom Hardy signed onto it, it probably had a pretty great script, too. I personally would really love to see the R-rated 152 minute movie Tom Hardy originally signed on to.… Expand

Venom Fleisher's Marvel entry is neither marevellous nor plausible in any whatsoever form of cinema. Even a commercial cinema attempts with all the dedication to keep the viewers tangled in its self-created world. But this is a poorly constructed tale that brags about pulling off a faster and gripping screenplay, in each frame. Whilst the truth is, it skips out the essential bits and makes less and less sense as it ages on screen. And this is the only graph that grows as it moves forward, it never fails to surprise us on disappointing with a newer tactic. The emotions are shallow, the action is a big mess and the visual effects are questionable. Now these were the thing to be expected upon, since the storytelling that is worth listening to, gets shucked away within first few minutes of the feature. Fleisher's comfort genre i.e. humor, too is forcely imputed and barely draws out a chuckle in its almost and over-stretched two hours. The characters are undercooked and hence are immensely difficult to be read upon, despite of having such loud one dimensional characteristics. Hence, it naturally makes the actors to fill in those shoes, difficult. Williams is disappointing but she is not the one to blame, similar is the case with Ahmed and Slate. Hardy had a wider range and when I say wide, I meant he had two roles to shift in every now and then, which he does convincingly in here. And addition to that, Hardy is a hard working actor living among us, his commitment on justifying the beloved comic character, is crystal clear in here. But a sinking script like such has no savior, not even someone with a caliber like Hardy. The chase sequence that is unnecessarily long, is purely banal where if taken a step back and thought twice about it, its existence itself can tell a lot about the feature. The so called thrills that it aspires to achieve is misconceived on a much larger scale than usual, the "awe" moments are barely the "oh" moments. Fleisher's execution is the frizziest composition of all, and mind you it had to compete with its equally challenging script. There are few things that it gets right which is the repercussions that it causes when something enters into your body and this is probably one of the best bit of it, as Hardy keeps resisting his inner voice. But these are the things extracted from the comic books, on terms of originality there is a void to be filled in here. The narration seems in awful rush throughout the course of the feature, which is something that itches especially if your beloved character is getting ripped off on screen. This mishap of few stunts, a big cgi action sequence, few twists and turns and one big seen-this-seen-that motto that would end up wiping out the entire world, is why it is more sad than bad. Venom is Hardy's tale, no matter what echos through that empty hall, the work is always to be looked upon.… Expand

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.… Expand
