Where do I start? Venom’s second movie and third onscreen appearance and they still didn’t get it right. Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is attempting to reignite his failing career as a journalist. When the opportunity to interview notorious serialWhere do I start? Venom’s second movie and third onscreen appearance and they still didn’t get it right. Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is attempting to reignite his failing career as a journalist. When the opportunity to interview notorious serial killer Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) arises he cannot pass up the chance of the interview of a lifetime. Things don’t go according to plan for Eddie and Cletus becomes infected by the symbiote Carnage who proceeds to skip his execution and bust out of prison. Chaos then ensues.

I wasn’t exactly a fan of Venom but it made nearly a billion at the box office so lucky for us we got a sequel. I had slightly higher expectations this time around due to Andy Serkis taking over as director. No offence intended towards Tom Hardy but I never felt he was right for Venom and the role would have been better suited going to Andy Serkis instead but sure we’re here now. The scenes with Harrelson and Naomie Harris are giving strong Natural Born Killers vibes and honestly the only good thing I got from Venom: Let There Be Carnage is Woody Harrelson, he’s a show stealer in any scene he’s in. The rest of the movie feels like a buddy bromance movie between Eddie and Venom. It’s silly, ridiculous and not nearly as violent as it should be although it clearly found some sort of an audience. It didn’t make as much money at the box office compared to the first Venom but considering the state of the world right now it did quite well. The build up to the epic showdown between Venom and Carnage was just another CGI overloaded fight scene. Underwhelming and a quickly forgettable movie. I honestly don’t know why I keep putting myself through this.

Look the only way you’re going to enjoy Venom: Let There Be Carnage is to have your expectations as low as possible and just maybe you’ll find it a bit of fun. It knows it’s not a serious comic book movie and it doesn’t try to be either. Recommended for fans of the first Venom movie.… Expand

This movie is trash. Start with the corny and lame origin of Cletus and the horrible race swap casting of shriek. There are an unending amount of stupid plot holes, an a non existent story. Do not watch this crappy movie.

Carnage spends his time trying to find his old Girlfriend... Which is wtf. He has no GF why is this character even in the movie it just takes away from time that should have been spent between Venom and Carnage. Instead, they wasted all that on bad comedy and even if it was good comedy it still would have sucked.

I waited 20 years since the original Spider-Man Movie to see Venom and Carnage on screen and was hoping Spider-Man as well and what a waste.… Expand

Venom : Let There Be Carnage, aussi dit "Venom 2" ou "Venom : Sa va être un carnage" en français, est la suite du film sorti en 2018 qui était réalisé par Ruben Fleischer, mais qui maintenant, cette suite est sous la main de Andy Serkis.Venom : Let There Be Carnage, aussi dit "Venom 2" ou "Venom : Sa va être un carnage" en français, est la suite du film sorti en 2018 qui était réalisé par Ruben Fleischer, mais qui maintenant, cette suite est sous la main de Andy Serkis.

Dans le casting, un peu de changement, on peut trouver des nouveaux personnages tels que "Carnage" qui est interprété par Woody Harrelson, l'officier de police "Mulligan" interprété par Stephen Grahams et Naomie Harris dans le rôle de "Shriek".

On avait beaucoup de hype(s), quand on était tenu à l'info que ce "Venom", allait mettre en valeur un combat mortel entre les deux symbiotes "Venom" et "Carnage", moi j'avais de l'espoir, me disant que ce sequel pouvait faire mieux que son antécédent... mais ce n'est absolument pas le cas.. ILS ONT QUAND MEME REUSSI A FAIRE PIRE QUE LE PREMIER !

Cette suite est complètement différente du premier opus, je m'attendais à un film post horror-sf, mais il a eu beaucoup de mal à faire tenir ces deux genres, les 1h37 que j'ai passé m'ont tout simplement faire dire dans ma tête : "Ce film c'est un gag !"

En effet, on peut l'expliquer avec cette touche de comédie qui a pris beaucoup d'ampleur et qui a causé un rythme assez lent au long-métrage. Le film met plus en valeur la relation sentimentale entre Eddie Brock et son symbiote, ce qui fait que il perd complètement son statut de film de genre "action", et il a fallu qu'on attende 40 minutes pour que le film se mette complètement à démarrer pour de bon... oui sa a été une expérience visuelle assez insoutenable...

Mais bon ils l'ont mis -12 ans, mais toute cette violence a malheureusement été atténué à cause de l'euphémisme, ce qui a fait qu'on ne voit pas une seule goutte de sang. Mince quoi les gars, si vous voulez faire un film qui met en valeur le grand antagoniste "Carnage", puisque qu'il est censé représenter la cruauté, le côté sauvage qu'il a en lui, mais si vous rajoutez cette touche d'euphémisme en ce qui concerne la violence, rien ne tiens sur de bon rails et sa faire perdre complètement toute crédibilité dans le titre du film..

Let There Be Carnage, oui les gars c'est un véritable carnage en ce qui concerne le contenu.

Venom à une soirée de LGBT, sa n'a absolument pas sa place dans un "Venom" ou même dans un film Marvel qui de base, était censé être beaucoup plus sérieux que cela.. et maintenant voilà qu'on apprend que Venom aime faire beaucoup la cuisine... Eddie Brock toujours québlo par son ex, un vrai film de drame ou de comédie.

CONCLUSION :
Si je pouvais conclure ce film en un mot : nul !… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoiler alert for the fortunate ones who didn't bother watching the movie. I envy you lucky few. Well, just for starters, the only "Carnage" presented in this sorry excuse to make a buck off fans or kids, was done to towards the character instead. CK is portrayed as a victimized serial killer. He got the look done right, but all the dialogue was whack. I didn't get any serial killer vibes off him. Not the way guards would avoid eye contact. As for "Carnage", he is born by the biting the thumb of Brock. Yes, Biting his thumb. No Psychotic voices neither from CK, nor carnage. And CK is also a lover boy? In what universe does that sound scary? As if that wasn't bad enough he frees everyone inmates from prison! I thought I'd see heads flying, or at least some inmates getting chopped to pieces. But this movie is so censored, even when CK kills someone, it's either by getting choked or they don't bother showing. Don't even get me started on Brock. Venom 1 sucked, the sequel is even worse. I though the character would own up, and actually grow. There's no growth to his character whatsoever. Sadly, he becomes an even bigger loser, and depressive waste of skin. If you think about it, he hasn't done anything for two movies! Venom is the one cracking jokes and fighting. Brock is just the meatsuit. There's an interesting scene where Venom sees the markings of CK all over his cell. Venom has photographic memory and cartographic abilities. He accesses the internet and boom! Solved a murder nearly a decade old. While Brock doesn't do ANYTHING. As for Venom. They made him this family-Disney like character where he's cracking jokes the whole damned movie. Lethal Protector is the funniest joke in the movie (not really), Venom the almighty symbiote is forbidden to eat brains. Even from bad guys. We then see a castrated, fastened Venom. Another thing that WAS WAY OFF, is the insight Brock makes when he sees Carnage arguing with CK. "They are not a match like us" WHAT THE HELL?!
They were supposed to be an even better match than Brock.
I could go on and on, and I won't get my money back, but I think you got the point.
It's ok trying to change certain things from the original comics. But next time, try actually reading a comic or two before destroying a legacy.
Did anyone see any separation anxiety? I sure as hell didn't.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately, even if the character of carnage is nice, we find ourselves spending almost an hour and a half to have 85% of the film on funny jokes or not on the bad situation of eddie and venom, even if obviously the fights are as usual marvel, The encounter between eddie and cletus, as well as venom and carnage, is supposed to be a lot crazier than that, between venom that’s afraid of the carnage color, the rapid birth of carnage, or the venom story that’s completely wiped out from the base Venom scenario, I suspect it’s based on comics and the first movie. Its only advantage is of course the teasing of Venom in the MCU. This is the only scene I liked despite its more than disappointing ending, eagerly the next spider-man and the morbid movie to fix it.… Expand

They absolutely wasted Carnage as an antagonist, and the character "Shriek" was marred with bad acting, poor development, and abused as a plot device. Sony misused two of its greatest character assets. Venom and Carnage are awesome, menacing, and terrifying characters! And somehow, Sony decides they are best used in an unfunny buddy comedy with a lame Bonnie and Clyde side story. The post credit scene couldn't even salvage this travesty. We deserve better as an audience and until they deliver that, this will be the last Venom movie I pay to see. Disgusting. Shame on Andy Serkis and a pox on Sony.… Expand

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.

Tom Hardy hits the delivery of the dumb jokes while also nourishing that disaster bi energy that he brought to life in the first movie. Venom is a queer icon now and it's great.

Woody Harrelson knows how to do creepy characters and is a good fit for Cletus Kassidy/Carnage. I liked the part where he said the word 'carnage' for the fifty-eighth time. I really liked the part where he just bellowed the name of the movie completely unprompted during a fight and the editors just kinda... cut to and away from him as quick as they could.

Naomi Harris leaning in to the edginess of it all is either a good fit for the character or a tad bit cringe-inducing, depending on who you ask. Real aficianados of the comic medium will recall how Shriek, in the Maximum Carnage run, actually said, "Make mine MURDER!" so take that as you will.

Michelle Williams somehow getting less agency in her character than in the first movie. Stephen Graham played a cop who shot a black woman.

Reid Scott got a paycheck.

But, for my money, the real star of the show was Peggy Lu as Mrs. Chen. Gotta give it up, some solid creative decisions in her scenes, not even joking.

The writing's at it's best when Tom Hardy talks to himself. Honorable mention to Woody Harrelson speaking like he's spiraling down, down, down, down giving cryptic lines and the occasional Shakespeare quote (SoMeThInG wIcKeD tHiS wAy CoMeS oOoOoOoO).

I found the editing to be a bit messy. Some odd decisions all around, really. Extreme closeups on faces that look pretty unenthusiastic, stage-fighting masked by cutaways that are juuuuust too late to hide how awkward the hits are, etc. At least the CGI monster fight didn't look like a swamp orgy. Thank you, Andy Serkis, for bringing your expertise to the table. Here's your Oscar for Venom: Carnage 2 Carnage.

I give this rating with all the love in the world. But all-in-all, this just kind of solidifies my position that, as amusing as the Brock/Venom dynamic is, they are not solo movie material and work better as a foil/secondary character/comic relief.

Kinda like what they did to The Hulk.

Or Spider-Man.

Hey, maybe if/when Venom and Spidey meet, Peter will stop simping over billionaires and actually become relatable to anyone who's not invested in whatever crypto that Elon Musk shilled on Reddit.

But enough about parasites. Go see Venom if you like dumb fun with symbiotes and pg-13 violence.

And stay tuned for Venom 3: Another Goddamn Symbiote Tries to Kill Everyone Again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wasn't really bothered about seeing this film, I saw the first one, it was meh but at least watchable and enjoyable in most parts. But this one? Somehow this was shorter than the first one but felt twice as long.

So I don't know if the people directing, producing and editing this film were on drugs at the time of conceiving this disappointment, but it wouldn't surprise me. As a matter of fact I'd hazard a guess that anyone who enjoyed this film who is over the age of 18 would also have to smacked off their faces.

With a good cast such as Tom Hardy, Woody Harrilson and Stephan Graham in the film I at most thought that I could enjoy their performances. Nope, instead I had to sit through the most boring and lazy acting from all the characters that I thought they were being held at gunpoint to do this movie.

Also you know you're going to hate the movie, when in the first 5 minutes of the film you a) have no clue what is going on, b) everything feels forced and is a cliche, and c) the editing is god awful. I am convinced after seeing this film that there were clips from scenes that were cut out, that would have made the scenes more coherent and digestible. Instead what we got was incoherent chopping between scenes that made know sense and confused me further.

Why is this film basically a PG13 film when the main characters of your movie, are villainous psychopaths who basically rip apart, murder and eat their victims? I dunno, doesn't make much sense to me one bit.

Overall, nobody on screen looked like they wanted to be there, editing was so bad I've seen film students put together better fan mad films, plot and story were boring AF, characters were one dimensional and cliche and.....it's just f**king boring man.

2/10 would never see again.What even was this movie?… Expand

'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' it's like that nasty food your mom gave you and you didn't want to eat when you were little, but you had to so you could savor the tasty dessert after (the credits).

This have to be one of the worst Marvel-related movies I have seen. Thank god it only lasted about 80 minutes! I thought this would be better than the lame and tame first one, but no. Rushed in every way possible...

Even worse than the first movie. THANKFULLY venom 2 was very short for a MCU movie. The comedy was atrocious, the acting just as bad, the miscasting even worse, and on and on. This was a turd.

Oh, and the story? Where was it? Venom was idiotic

Venom stood out as the superhero had the villain inside himself and not outside, so he was the "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" or the "Alien" of the (2nd) Marvel Universe. The sequel betrays this main aspect by homologating to all other cinecomics. The quote of the duo Don Quixote and Sancho Panza already reveals a more marked separation between the two identities, consequently the new chapter of the saga sinks into the silliest side of the franchise and someone even ventures a reading in terms of homosexual relationship. In short: "Venom: Endgame".… Expand
