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.… Expand

Costume Design: 6.821/10 Alright: I'm not exactly experiencing Cosplaying at it's finest here, but - that's what the Visual Effects are for - right?

Film Editing: 6.712/10 I feel like I'm watching blotching happening.

Make-up and Hair-styling: - /10 N/A

Sound Editing: 8.621/10 Solid.

Visual Effects: 8.349/10 Decent. I want to see more of Klyntar.

Story: 7/10 (Sigh) Interactions between different cultures may naturally be funny which is a small part of the reason Venom needs more Klyntar. Eddie Brock is not Peter Parker and feels ehhh without Peter Parker. I feel like the story should branch from Klyntar - but, as the story is - it's alright.

Acting: 7/10 I feel like the acting partners are working with what they have in front of them. I think if I want to see the actors blossom, they will do so in Klyntar. Cause really I think they should be vessels… for Klyntar, a whole different conversation may ensue then.

Personal: I rather watch a film about Klyntar than a film about Eddie Brock without Peter Parker as an introduction to Venom. The idea of Venom is so poetic that so much more may be done with it than has been. Venom makes me appreciate Spider-Man a lot more now. The film Upgrade comes to mind when I'm watching Venom (thinking of recent films with symbiont types). I feel like the film is attempting to take on a noble cause and does not really resolve anything. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is looking real interesting, and, I don't think they're going to be talking about Klyntar (hint-hint).

Overall: 7.214/10

Ignore the critic reviews, I loved Venom, and I think that the character stands up well on the big screen.
We don't always need to have heroes, but as Deadpool as proved we can have some pretty good antiheroes holding up the banner

Imagine reading a book, you're digging it (for the most part), you get to the last few chapters and there are a bunch of pages torn out and it looks like a little kid scribbled over a lot of it, making it difficult to read. There's enough to get the overall point, but it's missing all the flavor.

That's pretty much how I feel about Venom.

Other than that, I liked Tom Hardy; I liked Eddie's story, I liked the "buddy cop" sort of take, loved the "Venom" action until the final battle and, of course, the Obligatory Cameo (some of you know what I mean). Also, exciting mid-credits.

But, damn, this movie could have used some much better editing.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe that the film was conceived with a rating of 18+ However, the greediness of the Sony company spoiled the plot. I am sure that a huge number of scenes were cut so that the rating became 13+

Now for the plot. 40 minutes is stupid chatter. At 45 minutes we are shown Venom for the first time. Then another 30 minutes stupid talk. And at the end of a small fight. It's all. Why did Venom decide to save the planet? How did Eddie convince him? I am more than sure that the relationship was developed in the cut scenes. Plot this can be explained by a symbiosis, but you yourself understand how rotten it is.

Why did the "bad" symbiot choose an antagonist? How did he find him? Why is there no protection in the top secret lab? The journalist walks like at home. The little girl also entered the building without any problems. Idiocy… Expand

Honestly it should have skipped the whole first act. It was stuffed with nonsense and drama that had no emotional attachment because of awkward pacing either being rushed or taking to long to pay off. However when the title character shows up it definitely picks up the pace but its a disjointed and confusing ride from then on out. There are giant holes in some of the logic the characters use, and its hard to understand who knows what at any one point. To be fair I think the acting is fine, the action in the end is decent but where it shines is definitely the interaction between Eddie and Venom and thats where my biggest complaint comes from, it feels like there was 3 or 4 different movies in this film. "Venom" jumps around in tone and pacing like the screenwriter was on a pogo stick. Some cute romance, to a serious journalist trying to expose wrongdoing, to a sulking loser to, espionage, horror film, then full throttle action comedy. Which I think the latter, the film truly excelled at, if it had chosen a single genre to tell its story I think Sony would definitely be able to make a statement for a "venom" villain-verse. However they over extend and tried to mash every hero movie from a decade into one 90 minute PG-13 movie instead of taking a leap of faith with an R rating and making something truly special. Disappointed but enjoyed the 2nd half of the movie.… Expand

Venom is so bad that everything from the direction all the way to writing cannot save this film and for some odd reason, this movie is really fun to watch. Most casual audience members will indeed love this film if they don’t care about the art of filmmaking, but for those that are diehard film fanatics will bash it either way. Hate to say this but Ruben Fleischer will go down as the new Zack Snyder of Sony’s Marvel Universe in the textbooks in film and goddamn, Amy Pascal is the one to blame for all this mess especially after hearing that a 40 minute cut has been removed from the final film that Tom Hardy has mentioned about to the press not long ago. Hopefully an R-rated sequel will be in the works if Sony has a brain clicking in their mindsets because there will be Carnage coming in the mix if they chose someone that actually has talent to helm the sequel. This movie had me very justified since BvS and honestly, I think it’s worth checking it out if you like Spiderman or Venom. Looks like a cult following will come in like a turd, in the wind..… Expand

The movie was absolutely entertaining and we had so much fun! I wanted more! Tom Hardy has given a great performance as both a loser, broke Eddie Brock and Venom. It was a great Origin story. The villain was okay, but atleast he was better than most MCU villains (hello Whiplash, Mandarin, Red skull, Malekith) I wish we had more scenes with different Symbiotes , but it was okay. The got a great intro to Eddie Brock, his life's struggle, how he adopts to the new found power from outerspace. It has its share of flaws, but ultimately it was entertaining and in the end that's what I paid for! The so called "Pro" reviewers are being completely unfair and honestly need to stop comparing every movie to a Dark Knight or MCU movie!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall? It's not the worst movie I've watched this year, but it'd definitely not the best.

Venom focuses on the connection between Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), a reporter who lost his job after asking controversial questions to Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed) and Venom (Tom Hardy, CGI), a symbiote from another planet.

With heavy themes of human testing and manipulation, Carlton Drake (Villian) reminded me of the evil! Tony Stark that lives in hundreds of fanfictions littered across the internet. Incredibly intelligent and rich, yet striving for power rather than helping people.

The positives of this film:
- It was funny. There were moments where the action was minimal and the comedy took centre stage, and these were some of my favourite moments.
- The CGI wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. When reading other reviews, it seemed absolutely terrible and although there were moments when I winced, it wasn't too bad for a movie that's 80% CGI.
- I loved Tom Hardy in this. His 'I'm so done with this' attitude was a highlight of the film for me.

The Negatives of this film:
- Was I meant to be laughing when I was? I couldn't tell if the bits I found funny were meant to be serious.
- The music was jarring at moments. One particular part that stood out was when there was "sad" music playing loudly in the background near the end.
- Sometimes the CGI was a bit whack and over the top. It didn't ruin it for me, but I can see what people would be annoyed.

Considering this year is the year of superhero movies, I think Venom was unlucky to be released when it was. People's expectations were higher and thus ruined the film for them.

My advice? Give the movie a chance.… Expand

While good, I find The Dark Knight movies usually too intense and serious, while most Marvel movies are too"Venom" is the best superhero movie I've seen in a long time, partly because it turns the superhero formula on its head. While good, I find The Dark Knight movies usually too intense and serious, while most Marvel movies are too tongue-in-cheek for my liking. It's interesting then that this film, about a character who looks like a demon from Hell, manages to strike that perfect balance between being dark, intense, and light humour. I walked out of the cinema smiling: I haven't had this good a time at the movies in a while. Part of that is because Venom, as a character, is so much fun: he is a real monster. He eats the brains of his foes and his voice could make the Predator wet himself. But it's not all dark and intense: Venom is *likeable.* He doesn't make quips; he's earnest. If Venom isn't telling the hero to eat the brains of villains he is egging the hero on to get back with his ex-girlfriend. That is *genius,* and this interest that Venom has in people leads to some fantastic moments in the movie. There's a scene where Venom convinces the hero to apologize to the ex, and the hero does so, ending resentment between the two. When this happens Venom says, completely unironically, "Aw. That's nice."

I love Venom, the character, and watching him interact with the people around him is just as entertaining as the insane fight scenes where he is decimating whole teams of armoured, armed men (which are beautifully spectacular, by the way). Venom is charismatic and fascinating; I'd love to see more of him interacting with Eddie Brock (the film's protagonist character) and seeing the conversations they'd have. I have to commend the filmmakers on Venom's design: he is huge and brutal and he animates beautifully, from the saliva dripping from his lizard tongue to his creepy, bulbous eyes. Venom should always have that insane, rictus grin on his face; I never like seeing Venom in the comics without it. Having Venom wearing the grin throughout the movie was definitely the right way to go. Even the way Venom prowls and hurls himself through the city bleeds with character: Venom is originally a dark mirror to Spiderman, but while Spiderman swings gracefully, Venom proves he has his own brutal style just by the way he gets around.

Tom Hardy is a great actor and his talent delivers the human element of the movie. He's played Bane in Batman and Max in Mad Max; here demonstrates further range by playing humorous scenes and the fish out of water character of Eddie Brock, who is utterly bewildered by becoming the host to Venom. Michelle Williams is great as Brock's ex; she is spunky and tough and Hardy and Williams work well together. But Venom steals the show. The chemistry between Venom and Brock is more interesting than the chemistry between Brock and the love interest.

The opening of the film is somewhat slow, but they have a lot to set up. The post-credits scene features Brock meeting Cletus Cassidy, and Woody Harrelson is the most perfect choice to play the role, but the wig they gave Harrelson was ridiculous. But apart from that, I loved "Venom," and I can't wait to see more. Hopefully it won't be too long before we get a sequel.… Expand

In my opinion, a better cinematographic adaptation of Venom than Sam Raimi Spiderman 3, really good acting of Tom Hardy quite good visual effects comedy used smartly not forced or excessive like Thor Ragnarok for example, done to take advantage of the popularity of the character but in a decent way, a good comic book/superhero movie but maybe not a good movie per se.… Expand

Sony may have finally agreed that the MCU can use Spider-man after failing to start up their Amazing Spider-man film series, but that doesn't mean that they can't keep milking their biggest cash cow in every way they can. Thus we get Venom,Sony may have finally agreed that the MCU can use Spider-man after failing to start up their Amazing Spider-man film series, but that doesn't mean that they can't keep milking their biggest cash cow in every way they can. Thus we get Venom, one of Spider-man's biggest enemies getting a new origin without Spider-man and a film franchise of his own. The end result is a strange mixture of dullness, weirdness and a few blushes of genuine fun scattered throughout. Set in San Francisco, the film stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, a journalist who is going after a man named Carlton (Riz Ahmed), a multi-billion dollar entrepreneur who is in on the verge of many breakthrough discoveries and is involved with several deaths. Whilst investigating one of his facilities, Eddie comes in to contact with one of the symbiotes that were brought to earth by one of Carlton's deep space discoveries. This symbiote then attaches itself to Eddie and creates Eddie's new personality called Venom.

Probably the biggest disappointment for anyone who's a fan of the comics will be that they never showed how the symbiote corrupts its host through its power. Even Spider-man 3, in spite of having one of the worst dance sequences put to film, still showed how the symbiote blended with Peter and was able to corrupt anyone it came into contact with. But in this film Venom and Brock live mostly in harmony, with Venom never really trying to take over and never actually doing anything evil either. Venom does still try to engage in a few horror elements, with the overall plot of the film resembling a classic monster movie formula and Venom's gothic design feeling like it's been ripped right from the pages of the comics. However, this does often lead to the film being tonally confused, with something that should be horrifying like Venom taking over another character and making them kill other humans for the first time is played up for laughs. Despite several moments clearly being cut out of the film, mostly as a result of Sony cutting out several darker moments to avoid an R rating, Venom does have a few creative action sequences earlier in the film. They take full advantage of Venom's powers, morphing and extending his arms in to various weapons. Unfortunately the actions sequences do seem to get worse as the film goes on, with a final battle between two symbiotes which ends up being the kind of computer generated mess that you would expect to see in a Transformers movie. Though the main driving force that gives this franchise some potential is Tom Hardy. Whilst he doesn't get the opportunity to show himself being slowly corrupted by the symbiote, it is great to see Hardy get a chance to stretch his comedic muscles, arguing with a character than nobody else can see like a psychotic version of Will Ferrell from Stranger than Fiction. Unfortunately outside of Venom there's not much for the supporting cast to work with. The villain played by Riz Ahmed feels just like any other crazed entrepreneur and whose motivations are never made clear. Also Eddie's ex-girlfriend is played by Michelle Williams, who does have some good chemistry with Tom Hardy but also has so little to do in the film that her role feels pointless. Overall, it's not the best set up for a franchise (which like every other superhero film already has an after credits scene already confirming a future sequel). There are a few things to work with through the fun dynamic between Eddie and Venom and the creative designs, but hopefully a future sequel will be able to develop Venom's character more effectively.… Expand

This was a great film and felt like a whole new genre of superhero movie in comparison to the slightly formulaic movies being produced by the MCU these days (not saying I don't enjoy MCU movies just saying it's starting to feel formulaic). It seems that many critics are regarding it as an MCU film without doing their research and expected a light-hearted comedy film with some action. While this film has an element of comedy, it is much darker than most MCU films released in recent memory - maybe on par with The Winter Soldier. Venom's reviews were also bombarded by Lady Gaga fans around the time of previews, which I'm sure had an effect on the critic's scores also. I am scoring this film a 10/10 as the critics have also scored this film unfairly however I would have actually scored this film a 7 or 8 out of 10 if not for the critic reviews. Overall, great movie and 100x better than TASM movie previously released by sony (terrible),and it also beats the only film released with venom in it previously by a long shot (spider-man 3).… Expand

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

INow I'm a big fan of Marvel movies and characters such as Venom. I saw that the critics who watched the movie did not like it, so I decided to watch the Venom movie and give my opinion about it. And I have to say, it's pretty alright.

I enjoyed a lot of the goofy and silly scenes, but venom is more of a dark comedic type of alien. It would have been better if the movie was rated R to add in those extra 40 minutes of dark scenes that would have made the movie better. The story was a little bit too long and a little unnecessary. The one unnecessary part is where he breaks up with his ex, gets fired and etc. It doesn't tell us about Eddie's character. It's just drama that was added in there. I would feel empathy, remorse and another type of sympathetic feelings for him if they built off of the characters a bit more in the beginning and told/showed us more about the person to get more invested in them. But they don't and I feel very little for them. Another thing is that I don't like the villain that much. Sometimes the movie would have a thing about him that I'm supposed to get interested in, but I really don't get that interested because it isn't that interesting. He also has a common motive, but something that we the audience can't really relate to. I mean, of course, he wants to, "Save the planet from extinction" but that's a motive that many people have and it isn't unique or interesting in any way. The story was linear and went straight forward, but it did not do so well in explaining the characters moving forward and trying to make us establish bonds with them. The only good things about this movie are some of the funny scenes/action scenes, the actors, and the venom redesign. Especially the venom redesign. I mean it's like Sony looked back at Spider-Man 3 and said, "We can fix this." and then did it and they did an excellent job with the redesign of venom, especially with the great additional vocal talent by Tom Hardy. But, sadly it doesn't make up for the mess of a movie. It seems like it is in between of being a comedy superhero film and a dark comedy superhero film. But as if now, it's just a neat little movie with a relationship between a dude and an alien. It isn't worth the massive hype, but it is still pretty enjoyable to watch.

Let me first start by saying, BOTH the critics and the fanboys are incredibly biased in most of these reviews. A lot of critics seem to either not read the source material or do research on the character before going in or are hardcore comicLet me first start by saying, BOTH the critics and the fanboys are incredibly biased in most of these reviews. A lot of critics seem to either not read the source material or do research on the character before going in or are hardcore comic fans who will hate any changes. On the other side though, a lot of fanboys seem to just look at critics as snobby jerks who want all films to be masterpieces of art and will not even take their criticism or reasons as anything more than bias. Ironically, the fans seem more bias as they wanna just give this movie 10 scores just because Venom is in it. And that's what I hate most about this site over others sites like "OpenCritic". It's supposed to collect all the pros and cons from every review, but people just look at the scores and try to throw only 0's and 10's to manipulate the score. Just happy the user score is only a 6 because that's a more realistic score. Now with that rant out of the way, how is Venom?

Starting with the pros, the best thing to say about Venom is... well... Venom! Ya, I know, big shock, but Venom's sense of humor, powers, and chemistry with Tom Hardy's character are hard not to enjoy. Also, while I'm not a fan of the whimpy Eddie versus the more brute Eddie from the comics, I could feel for his character as he went through everything. Wrapping up the pros, the effects and CGI are pretty good most of the time.

Now while I said Venom is the best part of this movie, it does take nearly 30 minutes to an hour at most for Venom to even make an appearance so the whole first act is just following Eddie's life and man was it boring. I understand films have to establish characters and can't just throw things out at the start, but man did they take their time. It wouldn't be such a nitpick if the rest of the characters and the story weren't written so bland. Is it funny that Eddie has more chemistry with alien goo than he does with his girlfriend? And the villain is one of those generic evil corporate villains. Generic is a pretty good word to describe the whole movie. It's not laughably bad or embarrassingly made. It's just like so many other superhero movies (especially ones like Daredevil or Ghost Rider). It's got money and production behind it, but besides for a few neat moments with Venom, it doesn't do anything new. A lot of fans are giving this movie a pass just because Venom is in it, but if this was an entirely new character would you honestly care as much? With all the superhero movies coming out, you have to put some effort to make yours stand out and I don't believe Venom does. Maybe if they stuck with the R rating and a different script, we could have gotten something special. But instead, it pretty much follows all the tropes you'd expect. Everything in the final act felt rushed from Venom's motives changing last minute to the final fight between him and Riot. Maybe they shouldn't have taken their sweet ass time in the first act but instead focus more on Eddie and Venom learning to understand and work with each other or develop Riot or this evil corporate guy as better villains. Finally, as far as the action and humor, it's hit or miss. While a lot of Venom's line is pretty funny, there are some jokes like the scene with Eddie in a lobster tank that try so hard to get a laugh and go on for so long that it gets embarrassing. As for the action, there are some neat action sequences like Venom versing SWAT or the apartment fight, but there are also these awful fights and chase sequences. The final fight between Venom and Riot was just horrible and hard to watch between trying to tell the two giant dark symbiotes apart to the fast or rapid editing.

I know the cons section makes it look like I hate this movie. And I'll admit that I feel disappointed, but I won't say it's 33% on Rotten Tomatoes bad or "A turd on the screen." But anyone how gives this a 10 should seriously stop reviewing movies until you watch more of them. This site is for professional reviewers and the audience to express their own opinions on entertainment; not for all of us to spam 0's or 10's just because the majority doesn't agree with their opinion. But, those who do that will probably downvote this review anyway just because I didn't give the masterpiece that is Venom the 10 it "so strongly deserves." As for the movie, at the end of the day, I enjoyed the end credit clip of that animated Spider-Man movie more than this, but if you love this character, I see no harm in you seeing it. But only if you have deep respect for the character. Not the worst movie ever made, but one that will probably not leave much of an impact. I'd give it a 5.5 out of 10

Now if you wanna see a good movie about a "Tom Hardy like" guy who teams up with a thing inside him that lets him kick ass (good old R rated fashion), then watch Upgrade. You won't regret it.… Expand

Horrible adaptación, trama absurda y humor apestoso: son los tres factores que definen Venom de Ruben Fleischer.

El único actor serio de esta película es (cómo no) Tom Hardy, el resto del reparto se encuentran ahí pues porque había dinero de por medio, poco más. Personajes totalmente innecesarios para la importancia que tienen, el CGI es un simple meh. De hecho, en la escena de la batalla final (bastante pobre por cierto) ni siquiera sabes que está ocurriendo, ya que no distingues quién es quién y el campo de batalla esta muy a oscuras, más que si empiezan a ocurrir cosas que serían medianamente spoiler y no entiendes absolutamente nada de lo que está pasando. La mitad de las cosas básicas, fundamentales y completamente relevantes e importantes de la trama no te las explican, como mucho te las dejan caer de maneras irrisorias, y las que te explican no puedes ni dar crédito de lo ridículas que son. Bien, la película como tal funciona, mal, pero funciona. Funciona en el sentido de que la puedes ver sin mirar tu reloj cada cinco minutos para ver cuanto le queda. Digamos que es "entretenida". Si no te fijas absolutamente nada en los detalles y solo quieres ver a un bicho grande pegarse con otro aun más grande, adelante. Hay dos escenas post-creditos. La primera de ellas es un ejemplo de lo que debería haber sido esta película. La segunda, bueno, la segunda es para dar de comer aparte.

I also do not mind (too much) the shallow development of its characters because that usually comes with making a 'fun' film. II do not mind making a 'fun' film and not bothering with all the artsy-fartsy intellectualism and technicalities. I also do not mind (too much) the shallow development of its characters because that usually comes with making a 'fun' film. I also do not mind making a cash grab. Seriously! As long as its executed properly. What I do mind, though, is how much this film struggles to do as little work as possible in the department its most interested in: 'fun'.

Ripping apart the credits, the duration sits somewhere close to 1 hour and 40 minutes which is closer to a b-movie local television evening running than a theatrical release. Of course, length is not an issue on its own. Its what is contained in it. 'The Wolf of Wall Street' is over 3 hours long but somehow this feels emptier. And that its mostly due to its awkward pace resulted from its excessive editing. Ruben Fleischer's lack of interest is simply to obvious here. Characters change their mind at an illogical pace, villains depart and arrive out of nowhere, and some decisions contradict each other. These are not movie ruining directing moves when your idea is dynamic action, but its just too obvious and shameless here.

Despite its merciless cutting, we have many unnecessary scenes still left somehow. Mostly, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) stumbling through life and having wanna-be hard times themed everyday conversations with local folk. Out of all these interactions, the only ones which are a bit funny are Brock interacting with his symbiote, but even these wear thin quickly. And Hardy definitely gave his best. His performance is maybe one of the only two redeeming features of this film along with its killer special effects and dynamic action scenes (especially the motorcycle chase) and special effects.

In the end, 'Venom' is nothing more than a glorified action flick. Talkative epic villains, cool brooding action dude and a snowflake girlfriend. But its spread to thin and its shallowness is too obvious.… Expand

Сюжет фильма можно было узнать посмотрев пару трейлеров, но и были моменты которые приятно удивили. Также стоить отметить довольно не плохой юмор в фильме, но к сожалению его слишком много, и хотелось бы чтобы фильм был посерьёзнее.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Venom. Another superhero movie or something more?

Despite the good play of Tom Hardy, who plays the role of journalist Eddie Brock and the symbiote itself, the picture and the concept of the film itself turned out to be a great picture, as the saying goes: "Neither fish nor meat." In general, the film is worth it to spend money, time and health on it, in the end, many people watch movies with popcorn or with other hazards. I was distracted, and now to the film itself ...

First, not by value, but what I would like to note is the excellent graphics component of the film. In the second trailer, a frank “draw” of the symbiote was visible, but by the time the movie was released in the cinema, the guys from Sony had fixed the flaws and in the cinema, the picture looked really amazing. Although, in the course of the film felt a certain decline. The last scene was unclear, where the background is just a black / dark blue color.

The second, perhaps, one of the most important is acting. I don’t want to dwell on minor characters, since they all have little screen time, except for Jenny Slate or Dora Skirt, who impressed me personally with the depth of feelings and sympathy for this character, which, unfortunately, was not sufficiently revealed. Well, let's move on to the main characters of the film ... We were very pleased with Tom Hardy, who was already mentioned by me at the beginning. A person familiar to us from Mad Max, Dark Knight or Stuart: Past Life played great. With each movement, he gave the film colors and emotions, excitement and empathy in his direction, which cannot be said about his love: Michelle Williams, who performed the role of Ann. Perhaps due to the fact that she was not given enough filmmaking or due to the fact that the subject does not suit her, she didn’t manage to empathize, the character seemed to be needed only for a clichéd situation: which you will see in the first 15 minutes of the film; only Venom's jokes that sounded in Eddie's head fixed the situation. In my opinion, her unexpected “friend” played much better: Dr. Den Lewis (Reid Scott in our world). The role of the main antagonist of the picture was ambiguous. Despite his inhuman acts and multi-billion state, in his head during the entire film, there was a thought that he was a loser. The villain in the role of Ahmed Riza could not create the proper tension, which is why the outcome of the film was read after the first 20-25 minutes.

So the third. Plot. I'd love to remove this item, but alas. The plot of this film does not cause any admiration. Rather clichéd, I would say not new, on the whole, already typical of superhero movies. The concept of the film seems to be forced; the first part of the film, which tells us about the background history of the main character, cannot boast of dynamism and deep interest, with the advent of Venom himself the situation changes dramatically. However, due to the long tie, the ending and the main part seem to be too fast. I would like to ask the director: where are the other 20 minutes of the film? Also worth mentioning is the undisclosedness of Venom itself. In the first meeting, he appears to us as an evil alien creature, eager to devour anything and anyone, including Ed, then sharply he becomes a good-natured person who wants to save the planet, even if at the cost of his life. (CAUTION! IT IS POSSIBLE TO VIEW AS A SPOILER !!!) Those who see a film can say: “he is not good, just here is a whole planet where he can eat one everything, and he will have to share a lot of others like him,” but then why is he ready to give his life? The evolution of this hero is unclear, which causes a huge pile of questions and very few answers.

Fourth - the soundtrack. In this part of the review, there is probably nothing to complain about. The music perfectly reveals the subject of the film, immersing the viewer into the world of cinema, from which you exit 10 minutes after leaving the hall. What to say? Marvel keeps the bar high, and their chosen Ludwig Goransson (God, forgive or correct if Göransson is right) deserves some applause. In conclusion, I want to say that the film was very ambiguous. Cinematography, graphics, humor, soundtrack and Tom’s game clearly speak in favor of the film, but the huge hole created by the poor plot and weak villain kills the film. The sharp change in the image of Venom strongly disappointed, in the end, it obeys Ed, and not vice versa, as it was in the beginning. Because of this, an interesting idea that could be developed along with the films was not implemented, we could not see the formation of the “personality” of the symbiote, but saw only the consequences of “education”. The picture is worth viewing, of course, but it will be impossible to revise it.… 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.… Expand
