What am I saying?! Welcome back, Streamers! This weekend we got the long awaited sequel to one of our favorite anti-hero movies, Venom. Venom: Let There Be Carnage was released this weekend on the big screen, and the MCU has continued it's run of expanding the its universe.

*Yes, and they had to before I ate their heads for a snack.*

Who said that?! Anyway, for those of you who may remember, Venom was reviewed on our Facebook page years ago. Here's a reminder: "Venom: '...7.9... Definitely catch the Matinee... If you feel froggy pay full. Entertaining film... A little dragged out and would've appreciated more antagonist development.... But go catch a laugh or two" and "the [poor] reviews aren't fair to whether you will laugh or be entertained.... the reviews are right about Michelle... she's awful [in this movie] LOL' ". For this sequel, I must say, the review is almost exactly the same. A major difference comes in the run time being 107 minutes for Venom versus just 83 minutes for Let There Be Carnage. Whereas the first movie dragged on a bit, this movie is short and pretty quick. Actually, almost too quick to the point that nothing really happened. It was a bunch of one liners and explosions. I'm with it, but it's just not typical to what the MCU has produced recently. I think it makes sense for this type of side character of the MCU though. Realistically, this storyline goes nowhere at all. At least with the first film we got introduced to Eddie, the symbiotes and etc. This sequel was literally just a laugh and dash movie that really didn't further anything.

*Speak for yourself, turd*

Who's calling me a turd? I'm trying to say this movie actually feels funnier than the first. Tom Hardy/Venom have a really funny and fun relationship and dialogue with each other. Kelly Marcel and Tom Hardy did a pretty good job of writing this movie. They even made Michelle Williams remotely palatable in this go round. Either way, viewers know what they came to see. The fights and the laughs were quite entertaining. The biggest flop in this film was Woody's hair piece. That joker was horrible! I'm surprised no one in filming said, "We have to change this mess." Otherwise, the rest of the cast like Naomie Harris are alright for what they do. They made her pretty creepy and crazy and I was for it. They could've done a bit more with her talents, but I'm not mad at it. Either way, the cast and their performances are pretty solid but rushed.

*I should be snacking on movie reviewers*

I think I need to hurry up. While the MCU rarely misses, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is the closest they can get without missing. They produced an entertaining and funny film but just not typical to their usual cinematic fare. If you enjoyed Venom then you’ll enjoy him even more this time but if you’re looking for a storyline wait for Spiderman: No Way Home. Grab a bowl of popcorn, or the matinee, to make sure your money is spent well. I think that’s all I can say because I might have a symbiote problem. Someone bring me some gongs and bells!!!

the film has its problems, but it is still a good film, on the contrary, it does very well what it promised.

This movie is short, but it's still good. I'm sure whoever liked the first movie will like this one.

It has some moments of fun, but just like the first film the CGI fights between Venom and his symbiotic enemy look like dimly-lit trash bags flying at each other. It’s paced well, at least.

Certainly the movie had some bad moments, but generally Andy Serkis and Tom Hardy did a good job. Can't wait for Morbius in 2022.… Expand
