I don't get the negative press for this one. It's a perfect film in every way. It has a good buildup, good acting and dialogue, loads of cool actions scenes. Don't let the low scores put you off as you may enjoy it as much as I did.

Nobody channels Eddie Brock / Venom like Tom Hardy. 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 VenomNobody channels Eddie Brock / Venom like Tom Hardy. 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

This was super fun to watch, Hardy was weird and excellent. No idea why this got review bombed, unless Disney or Gaga fans were out to down it or something. Still, feels like a chunk got cut out that I'd like to see.

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

The only thing that I could see people not liking is it takes a bit for the movie to get going but I didn't care. Good character development. The plot of the movie was pretty simple but who cares. this is a marvel movie. If your a person that likes action from the beginning like the tards giving it a 6 then this isn't your movie.

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… Expand

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

This movie is awesome. Is better than you think. The story was made very well, with so much space to newPeople 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.… 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.

It's not really a ten, in fairness I'd probably give it a 7.5. And it's funny, maybe not Thor Ragnarok funny but it got a fair amount of laughs out of a guy who rarely laughs at the movies. The 10 is really just there to help thwart that 35/100 that is the average score given by 44 people with either a hidden agenda, unfair expectations, or just plain bad taste. Oh and Venom, if you're reading this I have a recommendation for your next 44 meals...… 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. В целом фильм не так уж и плох как его раскритиковали, пусть он и заслуживает 7/10, но я поставлю ему 10 надеясь что снимут достойное продолжение.… 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 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

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.
