I was also aware that the movie had issues with not having Spiderman in it, seeing that Venom is a dark version of Spiderman and Spiderman is an essential character in the original story. I was also aware that this movie was about a black jelly creature from space. Going in I had relatively low expectations and a bottle of Vodka. Some critics have complained about an inconsistent tone in this, a move about black jelly from space. Did anyone go to see this movie to measure the consistency of it's tone, and feel dissatisfied because there were both scary scenes and jokes? I think some of the critics had unreasonable expectations of what is essentially a B-Movie with a big budget. The space jelly is not great CGI but, who is to say what space jelly looks like, maybe it looks like CGI? It took me out of the movie the first time I saw it but I was OK with it by the end. The main antagonist is overshadowed by one of the most selfish and nasty girlfriends in history, I was hooked to see whether Eddie would retaliate to her insensitive actions and wondered if she was going to be revealed as a supervillain herself. What makes this movie good is Tom Hardy's performance as the only two characters that matter in this movie. Brock and Venom have distinct, compelling characters and there is a subtle but clever merging of personalities as they spend time together. A large portion of the movie explores their relationship and this is a real strength. Hardy joked that his best part of the movie was everything that was cut from the movie, I wonder if there will be an R rated cut of this? I would love to see more and hope that the teased sequels happen. If you want to see a movie in which alien slime controls Tom Hardy's brain, if that appeals to you, then you will really like this movie. If you think it is far fetched or silly, maybe this is not the movie for you. Expand

The aim of this film is not to make a good film, but an enjoyable one.
And in that respect, Venom succeeds.

TomThis movie has some salvageable parts. Eddie Brock looks like he just woke up from the beginning of the movie when he's a successful reporter to the end of the movie where he's possessed by a parasite that makes him devour human flesh. Tom Hardy does a good job with a terrible script, and his dialogue to Venom become one of the few highlights in the film. The worst part is the performance from Reid Scott. It was a completely ham fisted and corny performance with a terrible script. Eddie's girlfriend also had some very weak performance.

The movie is really violent for a pg-13 film, the death scene of a homeless person who was infected with a parasite was actually pretty disturbing, Venom/Eddie literally eats police officer's heads.. It's a strange but interesting movie and I hope they have a chance to rectify some of the mistakes and make the sequel.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mediocrity might be common, and even enjoyable at times, but "Venom" fails to rise to this low bar. The writing is utterly dreadful even by the standards of brainless action movies. Watching various symbiote hosts devour living things or literal garbage is repulsive teen gross-out comedy, and it takes the better part of an hour to get to decent action. The action itself is servicable at best: the anti-heroic ultraviolence that -could- have been part of a Venom film was sacrificed, simply because the studio could not risk losing younger teenagers who wouldn't be turned off by the film's many flaws. The main characters, Evil Brown Elon Musk and Moron Loser Journalist, spend most of the film acting like either idiots or lunatics, and usually both. Tom Hardy in particular has a character who thinks he's a brave truth-teller, but is really a foolish, selfish and amoral manipulator who will sell out his romantic interest and friends for clicks on his poorly considered exposes. People praising his acting here are either badly informed about schizophrenia, which is what I assume his performance as a vagrant was meant to draw awareness to, or confusing this with one of his many superior movies.

This movie makes Tom Brady turn in a less compelling and masculine performance than Topher Grace. That really should be the only insightful critique required.

The romantic interest is intelligent and attractive, which makes you wish the symbiote would simply stay with her, and her new surgeon boyfriend is obviously the best person in the film. However, God did not spare Sodom when he failed to find ten righteous men, and so I found myself hoping that the Venom symbiote would slaughter this worthless fictional city, which shows psychopathic disregard for the plight of the literally disposable homeless. Ah, and now I see the topical commentary! I'll bump this movie up to a 4.

The symbiote looks powerful and interesting, and its frankness about being a loser on its home planet was a refreshing and understandable spin on the Venom mythos. Sneeringly declaring its host a **** was not only a (rare) appropriate and effective joke at that moment of the film, but had the virtue of being wholly accurate.

Being a heterosexual man, I've rarely felt deep kinship with legions of Lady Gaga fans, but if they require shock troops against this awful movie, I shall volunteer for the front line. Stay away, brave consumer.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is way better than how critics projected it.
It appears to be different from comic and it has to be different since it is a movie and limited to creativity. Hence I believe that critics gave it low scores. but who really cares about what critics think? just book your show for Venom blindly. I guarantee it will not disappoint you. I will personally rate it as 8+ 1 for tom hardy. filled with action scenes and It is actually more focused on Eddie Brock managing his two different ego. Or let's used the term alternate egos."Good and the bad side" . Last but not the least, don't you dare to miss out post credit scene :3

Sure, the pacing at times can be jarring, and the decision by which Venom becomes an Antihero rather than a villain is understandably vague, but I'd like to think of this movie as thus; Parasyte got away with largely the same story as this and was praised up and down, but what Parasyte has that Venom lacks is the human element; Eddie did not have the same sort of realizations about life and mortality as Satou had in Parasyte, the closest thing we had was Eddie's apology to Ann and the following events that took place because of it; In these interpersonal moments that litter the film (which is a good thing), you see the true chemistry between Eddie and Venom unfold. Those said moments are what make the film memorable, far more than the final battle or the police chase; The mundane, almost wacky bond Eddie and Venom share as they learn to live with one another.

The main problem with this movie, 'Venom' is, like its main protagonist, it's at war with itself. Constantly schizophrenic and having no clue when it wants to be a horror movie, a comic-book action movie, or a dark comedy movie. Either way,The main problem with this movie, 'Venom' is, like its main protagonist, it's at war with itself. Constantly schizophrenic and having no clue when it wants to be a horror movie, a comic-book action movie, or a dark comedy movie. Either way, none of these combinations of different genres work, and it becomes tonally jarring. Tom Hardy (a fantastic actor) takes on the role of Eddie Brock, a respected news reporter who lives happily in San Francisco with his girlfriend, Anne (Michelle Williams). He plans on marrying her, and their relationship is soaring new heights. Until one day, he tries his best to report on some suspicious lab activities hosted by Dr. Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed). Drake has harnessed some strange collection of symbiotes which have been discovered in space, and experiments with them on a different range of animal and even human hosts to see if it can improve their health in any way. We see many times that many humans seem to reject the substance, as certain symbiotes need to right host. One day, as you may have seen in almost every superhero film ever, Brock accidentally walks into the restricted sections of the lab, and finds himself exposed to the substance. He feels constantly sick, and not like himself. Before he knows it, he can hear a voice in his head telling him things like "Hungry!", and other forms of advice. This voice is Venom, and the two set up a deal-like relationship to get what they both want. As I've said above, the movie struggles to switch between genres, it doesn't pick the right moments to be scary, funny and action-packed. Hardy is also punished by a bad screenplay which, at one point, tells him to sit in a lobster tank like it's a bathtub. It sounds strange when taken out of context, but believe me when I tell you this. The main issue with this film is that, it feels like a superhero film made in 2003, but for some reason was released in 2018. It is very outdated with the formula and cliches it chooses to follow. The villain is boring and disposable and the action scenes are shot too close, the CGI looks unfinished and awful, and the editing is too quick you cannot see anything. It's underwhelming. NOTE: There are two extra credits scenes in the film, stay for the mid-credits scene, as I'm sure many Venom fans will want to be surprised watching, and then after that, get up and leave. DO NOT stay for the post-credits scene as it has nothing to do with this movie. I won't say what it is, but just look it up after you've left the cinema. Overall, 'Venom' is outdated and flat. Expand

Aside from Hardy's occasional charm and a decent amount of fun to be had with some of the action, it wasn't quite enough to make it as good as I was hoping it'd be. Expand

People are getting to much influenced by some "critics" and forgeting to see the movie by themselves. With that first, lets begin.

This movie is awesome. Is better than you think.
The story was made very well, with so much space to new movies with differents symbiontes. The beginning of the film is slow, like you know that at any minute everything is gonna blow up, but that is understandble for the plot and you have to wait. At the moment Eddie gets Venom, the story TRULY begins. Action scenes are awesome and with the rock soundtrack makes even better. Wait for the post credit scenes, if you is a comic book fan, your head's gonna explode.

All the characters are good, some of them have more spotlights than others, but that is normal to all movies. Tom Hardy is incredible in his character as Eddie Brock and is AWESOME as Venom. The bond between then is the icing on the cake. The villain could be more intense, but I liked and convinced me. We are on an era of critic change the mind of people who not see the movie already. People critizes before go watch just because "I saw in internet that was bad so now I think is bad too". We need to change that. Count how many films you like that is bad in critics, how much movies of your childhood and youth and even in your adult life that people put a 0 when makes their review, and that review much of the time is just "Its horrible, dont go see it". The movie IS great, the actors ARE good, Venom IS AWESOME. But not trust me. GO TO THE MOVIES, go see it and make your vision with open mind, but if you go there thinking "i read that is bad, so i'm gonna see already thiking is bad", dont go. Stay home. Go see other movie. Movies are to make us forget about the **** world we live, to make us look and say "holy moly, that was AWESOME" or "that was the most beautiful thing I ever saw". They are there to make different views about things we never thought.

Go to the movies, and make your own conclusions.

But for me it didn't take me out of the movie. Tom Hardy was amazing. I think that Sony needs to move with thier Venom-Universe and use the things that worked in Venom movie well and throw out the things that did not work.

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

Venom is a bit of a mishmash of good and bad ideas, but ultimately I was entertained.

Odd attempt at a New York accent aside, Tom Hardy was pretty likable as down-on-his-luck reporter Eddie Brock. The chemistry between him and Venom, an alien symbiote, is surprisingly good considering that half the time Venom is just a voice in Brock's head. Heck, the inhuman, cannibalistic creature is rather charming and funny.

Venom looks great too. I was worried, because the original comic design wasn't the easiest thing to adapt to live-action, but they really nailed it here. Venom is this 'roided goo creature with a shark mouth and he looks great. The action is inventive. Director Ruben Fleischer has a good eye for scenery and lighting; there's one scene in the woods that is particularly well-shot.

On the other hand, the film waits far too long to introduce Venom. There were a lot of parts that could've been cut or shortened. The main villain is super-weak, both in performance, dialogue, and general competence. Justice League's Steppenwolf, Thor: the Dark World's Malekith, and X-Men's Apocalypse were all stronger villains that this. Jenny Slate as a scientist is given nothing but trash dialogue. Whenever the scene is on these two, you're desperately wishing they'd go back to Brock.

This is isn't a perfect film, but I walked in expecting to be entertained and I was.

P.S. Be sure to stay through all the credits.

It does affect some of the character development along the story pace thus lessening the potential of what the symbiote-human threat could have implied. The Eddie Brock - Venom relationship is the best thing that works for this movie resting completely on its shoulders to rise on many occassions as a classic piece of entertainment for fans. This aspect alone makes the movie even a second time watch for Venom fans too. Trust me , the tonal mess to nurture the PG-13 audience is what holds the potential back. A slight concern might be there for VFX but that does not break the movie at all one bit. Forget that aspect and you are clearly in for a 112 minute fun ride. Oh yes, the post credit scenes are also worth watching. Expand

Venom's CGI was a lot better than Black Panther's for example and so was the action. What I didn't like though, was the fact that the symbiote turned out to be the good guy, which was...eh.. I'm not some comic maniac, but I always saw Venom as a raid boss in the Spiderman Universe, something that this movie doesn't make me feel. Lastly, we can argue that everything was "rushed" but as I said before, I'd take action over pointless character development. Tom Hardy was a great Venom and I'm looking forward to the second movie.. It will have my favorite villain. Expand

To begin with, I want to say that I am a big fan of this character and have read quite a few
After watching this movie, I was embraced by different emotions. Basically it was both joy and sadness and bewilderment ... but what went wrong?
To begin with, I want to say that I am a big fan of this character and have read quite a few comics about the spider-man and venom. When I found out
Solo Venom, then I was in seventh heaven with happiness. The day before the release, the first reviews of the film from "promising" critics appeared on the Internet.
When I saw the evaluation of the film on Metacritic - it was 33/100, then I was very puzzled ... however, I took the white for 4 days, so I had to go anyway!
Therefore, here I want to describe my emotions from this film.

I want to start with the plot: it is not too much here. On the one hand, Sony did not have to suffer in order to come up with a complicated story for the entire audience, but on the other hand,
Other aspects of the film were sold: patterned characters and the absence of normal motivation of the characters. I was dismayed by the way the story goes: in the film, the symbiote is already Venom
(I hope that the fans will understand me.), but this was done due to the fact that the spidy was not. I was also embarrassed by the fact that he was suddenly, in the middle of a movie from an evil symbiote
turned into good (Script of God?). In general, a lot of shortcomings ... Go to Venom for the sake of the plot ... well, this is such a thing for yourself.

The special effects did not let us down, but many flaws could be seen: there was a lot of soap in the action scenes in order to smooth the graphics (personally, this is my opinion), but Venom himself told me
liked it. Of course, we laughed with friends over the flaws in the effects, but this is a completely different story.

Separately, I want to tell you about the humor in the film: it delivers. But ... the film seems to be positioned as a horror, and not as a comedy :D, but for me it’s still a plus.

Well, the cherry on the cake is the relationship of Eddie and Venom. Here the guys tried because of all the forces. Yes, and as a fan of this, I was very pleased!

As a fan, I'm basically happy with these films, but I have a few questions left ... but if you are not a fan and you went to this film just like that, then get ready
to the fact that he can quickly get bored with you, or this character can interest you (it already depends on your preferences) :)

Lastly, I would like to say that the film, of course, is not a masterpiece. Yes, he has a lot of problems. But I don’t want Sony to turn a blind eye to all these problems in the future,
and would listen to how to improve the quality of their future films.
If you are interested in this character, but you are afraid to go to the cinema because of bad reviews, then I would advise you to go to this movie and have your opinion already.

P.S. I didn’t like that many critics refer to the comparison of Marvel's films such as Avengers:Infinity War and Black Ponter. I can understand that the Infinity War
asked a high level of movie comics, but in the case of Venom: 1. He doesn’t have such a big budget; 2. For the film, they didn’t Marvel, but Sony ... so it’s not quite clear to me:
why they say that this is the crappy Marvel movie ever, although it was made by Sony.

I also did not like any of the trailers that I watched. Needless to say I went in with zero expectations but left wanting for a sequel.

2. The interaction and relationship between the protagonist and his symbiote. Yes, they are not fully disclosed (for example, why did the symbiote so quickly become attached to Eddie?), But still it is pleasant to watch them. If there is a second part of the film, I hope that this relationship will be revealed to a greater degree.
3. Despite this age rating, the film is cruel in some places, but mostly it is an action with elements of comedy. The jokes were basically where they should be. Anyway, for Tom's charisma, I’m ready to forgive the film for some moments.
4. Venom is an interesting character, which perhaps was not enough for us. Not a superhero, but something more.

It seems that they don't know how to make good movies anymore without influencing their money onto it. Expand
