Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a bold and brisk superhero story, unlike any other mainstream Hollywood film in the genre. It crams a heck of a lot of movie into an hour and a half, but it doesn’t feel like it needed to be longer. It just feels like we need more movies like it. Read full review

What it lacks in originality it makes up for with a streamlined story, a sharp pace — there isn’t a superfluous moment or a wasted scene — and quips galore. Read full review

Let There Be Carnage flourishes in high-energy moments and feeds off low expectations; it’s the mold in the Avengers’ shower. Read full review

The title isn’t only a promise of so much destruction to come, but also inadvertently an assurance that its most action-packed sequences will be defined by loudness, incoherence, and pointless cruelty. Read full review

Let There Be Carnage tries to recreate the first film’s giddy shock while also upping the ante, taking what audiences liked and slopping more of that onto their plates. Read full review

To say Venom: Let There Be Carnage is not worth seeing is not enough. It’s not worth admitting into your life, even as an option. You’ve read a review of it. That’s enough. Now, never think of it again for the rest of your life. Read full review

I have got nothing to say less than AMAZING everything in this movie is Perfect and I mean it. Some people liked it because it's funny-goof. No! I love it because it is so strong and phenomenal.

Some people liked it because it's funny-goof. No! I love it because it is so strong and phenomenal. Cletus Kasady has a reason to hate Eddie, he has a character's features and personality with a weird brain. Woody Harrelson either didn't have enough screen time, or didn't do that appealing acting, but he definitely fits his role.

The Arcs were better, felt like a Venom movie more than the first one. The fight between Venom & Riot seemed stronger while Venom & Carnage was more satisfving since I was so excited for it and they didn't disappoint me

I like The Dialogues between Venom and Eddie. If you want to take their disputation as comedy or real, both ways worked good with me. Speaking of Comedy, This film is hilarious. A lot funnier than the first. Venom alone was so funny, mixing it with Tom Hardy's natural funny acting will bring you the best combo. Direction & Visual Effects are certainly better than before. Haven't added too much light nor too much osts. The scene Venom stretching out of Eddie's body went so cool. The Best thing in this movie is definitely without a doubt is Carnage. I cannot describe how much I loved the trailers only because Carnage is in them. His Design is perfect and more intimidating than both Venom and Riot. His Design, his voice, his character, his abilities. Every single scene includes Carnage was intense and surely stole all the compliments.

This is exactly how I wished a VENOM franchise to be. They never failed to excite me and couldn't move my eyes off the screen. Thank you so much Sony for making this Masterpiece of a work. If you liked the first movie you'll mostly will love this one. SOON COME CHAOS. CHAOS SOON COME.… Expand

+ High quality special effects
+ Excellent acting
+ Action and combat look really cool - kept me on my toes
+ Carnage looks juicy

... and one - (minus) = Although I did not specifically watch the trailer of this film - so as not to spoil my first impression of the continuation, but alas, the plot turned out to be banal and a little disappointment regarding the carnage - I thought that he would at least survive :(… Expand

I didn't fully like this movie. I feel like there were way too much silly and comedic scenes that felt like filler and most of them didn't hit for me.

I feel like there were way too much silly and comedic scenes that felt like filler and most of them didn't hit for me. Venom and Eddie Brock, for the most part, had such annoying and pointless scenes together. It was very strange. In the first movie, they flowed together, but in this movie, their presence seemed forced. It felt like they put most of their attention on Cletus Kasady/Carnage and forgot about Venom/Eddie, so they threw some scenes of them together because it's their movie. LOL! I felt like the plot wasn't done fully, but I loved the love story between Cletus Kasady and Shriek. They should have expanded more on that and made the story darker with light comedy. If they made a movie with only Cletus Kasady, Carnage and Shriek, I would most certainly watch and love that. I still think this movie should have been rated R though, or at least 14A. Nobody can convince me otherwise. I must say, Carnage was amazing. The design and scenes of him were fantastic and I just wanted more. The final fight, for the most part, was really dope. Some parts in the movie didn't really add up or make much sense. There were also many cringe moments. I was really disappointed at the very end though, after venom and carnage fight. It felt rushed and unneeded. Overall, I enjoyed the first venom, story-wise, more than venom 2, but I enjoyed the fights more in venom 2 than venom 1. I would probably watch Venom 2 again maybe once a year or so, only because I'm a fan.… Expand

The relationship between Venom and Eddie is the best of the film, the way how Andy Serkis show us this new but unusual behavior are very interesting. Then we have the biggest problem of the film, the short duration. Unfortunately, the movie goes very fast and Carnage feels wasted.

Tom Hardy returns as the unassuming writer who’s possessed by the weird Marvel character, one that lurks inside his body but emerges as a hideously scary monster craving human brains. Much of the early time is spent with the inner conflict between the 2 of them, but there is a villain (Woody Harrelson) to complicate things. By the time the action hits full gear, it’s a CGI show…humans move to the rear, while the computers fight it out. Overall, there’s nothing new or interesting in the writing, direction or approach and Hardy is only mildly appealing.… Expand
