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.

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.… Expand

The fact that they advertised Venom as “a movie with some scenes filmed with IMAX Cameras” then finding out there was nothing IMAX-related was a personal disappointment for me,especially as someone who loves whenever a movie makes advantage of new technologies for filmmaking.
Anyway,onto the review. Venom was better than I thought it was going to be. What a shock? Look,I have my own problems with the movie,and I don't think it's A good Superhero Movie,but for what it's worth,I had a decent time at the movies.
Starting with the good,I loved the relation between Eddie Brock and Venom (the black symbiote goo that,surprise surprise,is voiced by Tom Hardy!). It's probably the highlight of the movie and the only part (I think?) with some genuine laughs. The first 30/40 minutes of the movie were interesting to look at. It perfectly sets up Eddie Brock and his character,though sometimes it gets slow… The Special Effects definitely feel like something from 2000/mid90's,even if the Symbiote itself perfectly looks like it should,instead of a green giant monster with a face that looks like one of my classmates (yeah,I'm seeing you,Hulk 2003). And I wasn't bothered by the PG-13 rating,as I got what I wanted in the action scenes,oil splattery or not.
As I said,though,this movie is full-on corny and dumb,so you better think of what you're seeing before paying for the ticket. (IMAX or not) And speaking of IMAX,this is probably the worst IMAX DMR transfer I've seen this year,as the blacks of several shadows would become either Grey or dark colored,and the quality of the movie wasn't good at all (You can easily see some pixels at different moments). And for that,I wouldn't recommend the IMAX Experience of it (unless you want the full sound immersion,in that case go on). The rest of the characters are just thinly written and were just there as Plot Devices. The villain isn't really well-written and his motivations aren't really understandable. (Though it's a million times better than “bringing the dinosaurs back to Earth” from Jurassic Stink 2)
You know how much I like the fast and frenetic action,right? It's my kind of exciting and pumping action and I'll never get tired of it. But when the third act final battle goes on, everything about it is a mess. Sometimes I could see what was happening,but overall it’s a disaster of SEE-GEE and Editing (even worse than the entirety of Justice League). But in the end,Venom was just an okay time. I wasn't feeling mad watching it and I'm curious to see what happens next with this...sigh…”Sony Universe Of Marvel Properties”...seriously,who came up with that name?!?… Expand

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.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 6
Acting: 7
Plot: 6

Despite Sony and Disney (via Marvel Studios) are currently sharing the movie rights of Spider-Man since 2016 after the poor performance of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 which was supposed to start their own shared movie universe, Sony decided to establish their shared movie universe again, with this time using Spider-Man’s related characters without actually having Spider-Man’s involvement. With that, Venom is the first instalment in Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters which features the anti-hero himself as title character.

Bio-engineering company, Life Foundation, discovers a comet covered with symbiotic lifeforms while exploring the space for new habitable world. After getting the sample from the comet and on their way back to Earth, their ship crashed in Sarawak, Malaysia. The company’s recovery team recovered three symbiote samples but the other one infects a human and got away. The company’s CEO, Carlton Drake (Ahmed), begin experimenting on the symbiote.

Eddie Brock (Hardy) is an investigative journalist in his own network, takes on a new assignment to interview Carlton Drake for some stories. While doing some research, he discovers a classified document about Drake’s unethical human trials from a computer which belongs to Ann Weying (Williams), his girlfriend, who works for Life Foundation as an attorney. During the interview, Eddie questioned Drake about the unethical human trials he conducted but he had the interview prematurely stop and thrown him out of the building.

Unable to back up his claims, Eddie’s career was ruined and Ann broke up with him after his actions caused her to lose her job. Six months later, a Life Foundation scientist approach Eddie about Drake’s human experiments and wants him to expose to the public. After helping Eddie broke into the company and taking photos of all the human experiments conducted by Drake, Eddie suddenly got infected by symbiote which gives him some kind of superpower.

Tom Hardy’s take on this incarnation of Venom is definitely better than Topher Grace’s Venom in Spider-Man 3. His acting and performance is very impressive and he really put some efforts to make his character live up to the role of the anti-hero character. However, I noticed sometimes his American accent is out of place. There are times his American accent sounds natural and other times is kind of odd. Nevertheless, it is not a big deal.

Regarding the tone of the movie, it’s very inconsistent which made me think whether this is a horror superhero movie like how the trailer was shown or a horror-comedy superhero movie. In addition, I felt Venom should have been an R-rated movie like Logan as PG-13 does not really suit the character and it really limits the character’s potential in the movie.

Compared to The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Venom did not really put much focus on building the shared universe right away and instead focus on character development first. The mistake made by the previous movie was putting too much focus on building shared universe which affects the story.

As Sony’s next Marvel movie is Morbius the Living Vampire starring Jared Leto, the movie will have to depend on the box office performance in order to make it a success so that the next movie can go into production for the next instalment.… Expand

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!… Expand

As a superhero (or should I say, anti-hero) movie, Venom is quite unremarkable. Having seen Spiderman: Homecoming and Venom (plus the old Spiderman movies with Maguire and Garfield), I think Sony should never do a superhero movie again by themselves, and let Marvel handle that with some kind of deal.

Sure, the writers had to establish and humanize Eddie Brock's character so that the great Tom Hardy isn't reduced to just being a vessel for Venom to do his stuff, but the director took too much time to do it. In the movie's first half, Venom hasn't even bonded with Brock yet. Riot (the other symbiote) has less than 10 minutes of total screen-time. The final Venom-Riot clash is short but perfect for popcorn munching. There is a bit of humor and just the right amount of jokes here and there (nothing like recent Marvel movies which have become comedies), but the movie's plot is annoyingly bad, with plenty of stupid or nonsensical character decision-making. Some say that many violent scenes were removed so that this movie wouldn't be classified for adults only, it's stupid to do this in a post-Deadpool world.

Well, at least they teased Carnage for a potential Venom movie sequel, but Spiderman was nowhere to be found, not even as a cameo. Blame Sony for that.… Expand

The only real boons this movie has are Tom Hardy's wonderful performance, and a few great action scenes. Other than that, the supporting cast is dull and forgettable, and almost every line of dialogue feels as though it could be improved upon. The story is serviceable though, and did a much better job of making Venom a real character without the inclusion of spider-man than I thought it would.

If you are coming into this movie to see your favorite alien monster kick ass, you'll get your monies worth, if you can get past the sometimes under performing effects. There's something that just looks off about Venom in his full comic book appearance. The animation works fine, but I suspect the lighting and reflections on the completely shiny character was just a little too challenging for the studio to do flawlessly. The Symbiote effects on the other hand, are fantastic. Some great choreography, combined with Tom Hardy's physical acting make for the best scenes in the movie hands down. Action scenes that couldn't be done without the use of the unique superpower of the character are what make superhero movies come alive, and these scenes don't disappoint.

All in all, it's a film worth watching if you don't really care about a great script or the newest shiniest visual effects, and you just wanna watch Tom Hardy bounce off the walls and Venom kick a little ass. If that sounds stupid to you, then don't watch it.… Expand

Although he posses extreme powers, he's not exactly a superhero. Actually, he starts as a villain…an aggressive goo from outer space that absorbs into a human's body. As the trite plot continues, he becomes an ally with his final host (Tom Hardy). Hardy's an extremely talented actor, but the attempts at befuddled comedy aren't that strong (It's directed by Ruben Fleisher, best known for the very clever "Zombieland.") Instead of playing the hapless hero, he should probably stick to his more established brooding types. The action is the typically noisy, messy junk that populates this pix. The effects are decent, but nothing special. One of Marvel's misfires. NOTE: Stay thru the credits for an extended chase sequence from the upcoming animated Spiderman (which looked more promising than much of "Venom").… Expand

Don't get me wrong I am not saying its the next darknight or anything like that but what I am saying is that its really quite a nice ride. Venom is a breath of fresh air as compared to the usual superhero formula were used to seeing today. It separates itself quite nicely from the MCU superhero films however it does not separate itself for the sake of separation. Venom stays true to the character in a way which not only is a joy for the comic fans but the average movie goers as well. Venom is different in that it has two different tones which coincide with Eddies personality and Venom's personality. Its truly a pleasure to watch the chemistry and interactions between these two. In venom you will be laughing at times then in others wandering if you should scream, laugh or cheer because the scene is so damn cool. Venom is a pleasure to watch and if you go and see it in the theaters I guarantee you will come out satisfied.… Expand

A lot of the decisions or plot points in the movie felt very empty & I wasn't buying into it. Often the story will try to paint a picture of a character that their actions & dialogue won't agree with.

It's a shame that great actors like Tom Hardy, Riz Ahmed & Michelle Williams were given poor lines & very little to work with. It sometimes felt like they weren't all on the same page with what kind of movie they were in.

Now what I liked MOST about Venom was not the action, nor the CGI or the VenomI liked Venom it was a fun, exciting time and if anyone hasn’t seen it they should go and watch it for themselves and come up with their own opinion of the movie.
Now what I liked MOST about Venom was not the action, nor the CGI or the Venom character itself but the way how the movie sets up the Eddie Brock character in the beginning of the movie and the world around him before the Venom craziness happens, now it’s nothing Oscar worthy like that but it was really well done and I always appreciate when Superhero movies builds up the character development of the main protagonist and this is the movie’s strength as it makes you sympathize and understand Eddie Brock’s character before the comic book stuff happens and y’all already know Tom Hardy brings his all to the role.
The supporting cast was also fine it was a small cast and it worked for the movie especially Michelle Williams who played Eddie’s girlfriend how was fine in the role and thankfully she wasn’t some damsel in distress and was significant to the story. The humour was also well done in the movie as the movie does a better job of handling humour better than most Marvel Studio movies as in no way did I feel that the humour was out of place at all and with the funniest character being Tom hardy as Eddie Brock’s encounters with the Venom symbiote at the beginning would make some funny interactions with other characters. The action was very fun especially with chase scene that would make the Mission impossible movies proud.

For the Venom character before I say anything else yes Tom hardy’s portrayal of Venom was better than Topher Grace’s performance in Spider-Man 3. Venom was awesome he looked great, the voice was also great, most of the action scenes involving Venom were exciting, brutal and fun and funny…yes funny. Also, the way how they explained the Symbiotes was fine with the movie explaining its origins, weaknesses and characteristics. Another very important this was that not once did I wish for Spider-Man to be in the movie (would have been awesome if he was in tin though) as the movie does a believable job of telling Venom’s story without Spider-Man and the movie was fine without the R-rating nuff said.

What I did like about the movie or the “bad thing” about Venom was mostly the third half I don’t know what happened but the last 40 minutes the movie was rushed had clunky action scenes and let me not get into the final battle or sequence of the movie cause it was just a big CGI mess with Venom vs Riot which was very hard to focus on especially with the movie being 3D,also some big plot holes involving characters happen and the villain…oh boy the villain, now Riz Ahmed who was the villain wasn’t the problem the movie was, Riz character Drake had an okay reason for being a villain but it was never expanded on and ended up being a generic villain and another forgettable Superhero movie villain and when he became Riot the other symbiote character(Venom’s enemy) it didn’t help as his interactions with Venom were cheesy as hell and again the action scenes were clunky and messy.
The second half wasn’t as nearly as good as the first half of the movie with very little down time as you are being thrust into action scene after action like a Michael Bay Transformers movie. The time management in the second half was messy and rushed to say the least. There was a very weird scene between Venom and Eddie that happened (you’ll know when you see it) and the story just wraps up outta nowhere as well.

So, to conclude Venom is a fun porn-corn movie with fun action scenes, good humour, a well-done performance by Tom Hardy, and cool end credit scene however the last third of the movie was rushed and clunky. As I said if you haven’t seen it yet go see it and come up with your own opinion.… Expand

One that would really encapsulate and, more importantly, appreciate him for what he is; a dark, terrifying, and ultimately iconic piece of what "Spider-Man" means to so many. This is not that movie. Dear God is it not that movie. However, speaking as a Spidey fan who knows and loves what Venom means to him without needing the stylings of any movie adaptation to validate it, I had a good amount of fun with this. Let's not be mistaken, though -- this movie is supremely stupid. So many scenes of horrifically bad dialogue, plotting, and character work come to pass. But I was almost never bored by any of it. This is a deeply flawed, yet almost ceaselessly watchable mess of a movie with an undeniably odd, yet still fun central performance from Tom Hardy. I hesitate to say I want more of these.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Venom feels like it should have been at least 30 minutes longer.

The only positives i can think of on this movie, is Eddie Brock's character, Tom Hardy works wonder with a dreadful script. The interactions between Eddie and Venom are definitely the best part, but we got almost nothing of that.

Other characters however just seem to be there. Carlton Drake is a weak villain, who you will forget as soon as you get off the theatre. Riot, oh wow, riot was such a disappointment. We got 5 minutes of Riot vs Venom, and i actually liked it. But it was only 5 minutes.

The script is absolutely awful, certain characters decisions just seem to happen out of nowhere. When Venom decided to stay on Earth, he simply decided, there was no scene or point of turn around, in a space of 10 minutes he went from slowly killing Eddie, to wanting to stay on Earth.

End of the movie, i felt like i was robbed at least 30 minutes of important scenes, this movie felt like it had more to give. It's another complete misfire by Sony. I hope in the sequel they can make turn this around… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Prima dell'uscita del film avevo delle aspettative abbastanza alte, che sono state ridimensionate dalle prime recensioni e dai primi pareri usciti negli ultimi giorni. Sono andato al cinema completamente privo di aspettative e cercando di valutare il film in maniera obbiettiva. I difetti ci sono, sono tanti, a partire dalla CGI non bellissima (poteva essere anche peggio) fino ad arrivare a buchi di trama e incongruenze paurose. Come ad esempio quando Eddie Brock spacca il vetro del laboratorio con un estintore ed entra senza che venga inquadrato da mezza telecamera; in una zona dove c'è un essere alieno pericolosissimo mi sembra un po' strano che non ci siano telecamere, pochissime guardie e soprattutto che il vetro si rompa con un estintore. Le reazioni umane sono poco credibili, perché una persona che vede Venom non reagirebbe mai come ha fatto Anne che dopo mezzo secondo lo fa salire in macchina e fa domande tutta tranquilla. Poi quando Venom esce dal corpo di Brock ed Eddie viene catturato dalle guardie di Drake per essere ucciso e arriva Anne che è stata impossessata dal simbionte e lo salva, il tutto è troppo fortuito. La regia nelle scene action, soprattutto nella sparatoria con la polizia e nel combattimento finale tra Venom e Riot, è troppo confusionaria. Però mi è piaciuto, mi ha intrattenuto e non mi ha annoiato per niente. Bravo Tom Hardy ed è bello il rapporto tra Eddie e Venom; ottima anche la colonna sonora, in particolare il pezzo di Eminem. La prima scena post-credits, con Woody Harrelson, è bellissima e anticipa un sequel che se fatto bene, imparando dagli errori di questo film, potrebbe essere fantastico.… Expand

--vague spoilers ahead--
Venom follows the standard MCU origin story template, despite not being an MCU movie. You've got an intriguing scifi intro, a deadbeat protagonist, a girlfriend, a happening, the protagonist becomes super and wrestles with his new superness, the protagonist starts doing cool stuff, gets betrayed, has an epiphany, becomes a better person, and beats the bad guy. Oh, and the bad guy is essentially a clone of the protagonist, but EVIL!

The tone of the movie starts out as a pretty good sci-fi horror, but abruptly switches over to comedy half way through. This tone **** was very off putting, though the jokes were funny and got a few good chuckles from the theater. To improve the movie, I'd work harder at blending the comedy and horror elements. The effects and action scenes were thoroughly entertaining, better than the recent Ant Man movie IMO. The car stunts looked pretty real, and the fight choreography was fluid. The effects for venom were spot on.… Expand

Hardcore Venom fans may be dissapointed on the lack of blood, and that every scene does not have someone being decapitaded. General audience, action, or comic movie fans will have a fun time. It was a fun movie. Its not a master piece, but it waswell worth the price of admission.… Expand

The movie has some really great humour and action sequences as well. It gets really dark at times which works well for the story, but its a bummer they didn't go all the way and make it rated R. The villain is a bit generic but the overall story is well done. If you're a fan of action movies or superhero movies than you'll definitely enjoy watching Venom.… Expand

So this movie was kind of crap, but also kind of amazing too! It's a mess but I had a lot of fun laughing at it's expense. It was basically everything that I hoped for...well okay an R-rating is what I hoped for but ehhhh...

Tom Hardy has a really bad New Yorker accent that's like a cartoon, but looking past that he did a good job here. He really gets his character and does add a lot to the movie. And the relationship between Venom and Eddie is pretty great. It's not quite a "Jekyll and Hyde" situation, but the whole interactions between the two characters were pretty great. And the stuff with Venom that we do get is also pretty cool too. I like the buildup to when we see full Venom in action, and he does remind me a lot of the comics. So that is the one real genuine praise I can give outside of some odds and ends like the motorcycle chase being pretty fun to watch and Michelle Williams is also good here too despite her weak character, but more on that later. Unfortunately for some, but fortunately for me, the movie is broken!

The action scenes are pretty bland. While I did like the motorcycle chase scene, outside of the Symbiote power there really isn't much new when it comes with the framing and stunt choreography that I haven't seen before, and honestly better. The motorcycle chase is the only good action scene, because every other action set piece is poorly shot, jumbly edited, and depending on the setting also hard to follow sometimes when it's in darker settings. Which is especially true with the fight sequence with Venom and Riot. Both characters do look rather similar and seeing them duke it out with the mess of editing it makes it hard to figure out who was fighting who. But it does have a roundabout way of being funny to watch when you see these reoccurring elements done before in other action films.

Riz Ahmed makes for an underwhelming bad guy. Sure he is a generic bad guy, but if you ham it up it can be fun to watch. However Ahmed plays him very reserved and not very expressive, always having a very blank expression. Which I guess is kind of the point given the character is supposed to be cold, but I just never bought him. The character is a more evil version of Mark Zuckerberg, but he comes off more like Gabe from the Office! Although Ahmed got nothing on Jenny Slate! She is flat out terrible in this, underacting and looking so bored on screen! She always has a super bland and blank expression! Like there's a scene where she gets caught whistleblowing the company she works for, and her expression when she is caught comes off like she left the lights on in her apartment when she left. Like...why?

There was some bad publicity leading up where Tom Hardy blatantly said that 40 minutes of the film was cut, I don't know if it was the more gorier parts of the film that was promised to us, but I think there was a lot of development cut out, because judging on the theatrical cut this script is underdeveloped! I gave Michelle Williams credit for being pretty good in the movie, and she is, but the relationship between Eddie and her character is extremely underdeveloped, especially when there are like some kind of romantic tension with her and her new man, who is absolutely pointless in this regard. I honestly did not care about Tom Hardy and Michelle William's relationship at all. The relationship with Eddie and Venom also felt underwhelming too. Like the general tension between the two is fine, but Venom turns from a "I wanna wreck things in this world" to "actually this planet is pretty cool I'm gonna save it" in the blink of an eye! Like...where was the development? The movie flies by so fast too! It's barely 2 hours long but it feels a lot more like an hour and a half film. Which does run into a problem with the short development and story arks and especially the third act which flies by very quickly. The tone is also a mess. It's not a straight up horror film, but it does have a ton of psychological elements to it mixed with a campy Marvel movie, it's jarring but it's also hilarious having these two different tones at odds with each other. Like the third act has a song cue right out of an Avengers film and it is so out of place, it's amazing!

If there is one thing I can credit about the script, it's the dialogue. There are some intentionally funny scenes and quips, but for the most part it's poorly written and pretty cheesy and edgy. It was hilarious, and probably unintentional too which makes it better!

Overall the movie is garbage but go in with the right mindset it is a fun movie to rip apart with friends. The jarring tones, underwritten screenplay, and corny edge makes this a hilarious romp!… Expand

I did not trust the critics but the public and I went to see it. It is a very rare movie, the first act is very slow and at times you cry out for Venom to appear and once he does everything goes fast, a mess of rhythms. The end very hurriedI did not trust the critics but the public and I went to see it. It is a very rare movie, the first act is very slow and at times you cry out for Venom to appear and once he does everything goes fast, a mess of rhythms. The end very hurried and many things were missing in explaining (you notice the 40 minutes that are missing), very ridiculous moments and a villain that just in the last 5 minutes of film we got to know and what their intentions are. The loose music and the action scenes are not understood very much.
The good: Tom Hardy, the CGI and the Eddie / Venom interaction (although it is rare).
Not as bad as Catwoman but not as good as the fans say.… Expand

Venom himself is entertaining and Tom Hardy does a good job, but this is a sloppy movie, with some ropy cgi. It also seems like a huge (possibly entertaining) chunk of the movie has been cut out to get 13 year olds in the cinema!

The Bad:
- This is a messy CGI fest of a film. It looks entirely fake at times, and the action scenes were a huge let down. - Riot may be one of the weakest villains I've seen in a comic book film in a long time. Riz Ahmed is a great actor, but this wasn't the role for him. The final fight of the film was a bit of a joke.
- This script is far from great. The dialogue is weak and the story is all over the place.
- The PG-13 rating significantly hurt this film's potential as far as violence goes, because for a Venom film there was a severe lack of violence. - I laughed several times at moments that were clearly meant to be taken seriously. - I commend Sony for trying out a different kind of spin-off film focusing on a character other than Spider-Man, but this was a huge swing and a miss.… Expand

Medium well movie. Tom Hardy is wonderful, Venom is impressive, Venom's CGI is excellent. The plot is weak, but the humor perfectly compensates for the lack of expected gloom in the film. Stan Lee is best in the end. No blood for all time
