Honestly, the movie in my opinion was not as bad as the first one and I actually thought this one was decent. The second one in Sony's Spider-Man Universe.

A good film, but rather boring. Good jokes sometimes. In general, an ordinary entertainment film. I liked it less than the first part. An unremarkable, funny film.

This movie is a train wreck of cringey, played-out, forced jokes along with plot holes and lazy writing. Sony is trying to make Venom, a once serious and dangerous character, into a PG-13 "family friendly" version of Deadpool. 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

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.

There's really not a whole lot to unpack here. It's got the usual stuff you'd expect in a comic book movie. Plenty of mayhem and destruction to go around, and Michelle Williams returns to play the damsel in distress. There's not much in the way of story apart from the action either. Really the biggest highlight here is Harrelson's performance, but overall, there's no reason to go into this expecting much, and thankfully it breezes by at only an hour and a half runtime.… 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. Overall, there’s nothing new or interesting in the writing, direction or approach and Hardy is only mildly appealing.… Expand

Не знаю сколько вырезали из этого фильма, но это ему явно не помогло. Фильм рассчитан на детей. И именно для них в фильме очень много глупых шуток от которых они будут смеяться совершено, не понимая их. Не спорю были среди них и вполне годные шутки, которые поднимали настроение, но их было крайне мало. По идее, должно быть смешно, но было не смешно.
Экшен - беспорядочный, нелогичный, ненужный, абсолютно никакой. А качество картины в плане визуальных эффектов - ужасное. Ну и финальный бой хоть и получился получше того что было в 1-ом фильме, но всё равно это выглядело не так круто, а графика и спецэффекты − оставляли желать лучшего.
Клетус Кэседи/Карнаж и Фрэнсис Баррисон/Визг - абсолютно никакущие злодеи, а будь у фильма рейтинг 18+ они были бы куда лучше, а самое худшее, что их просто сливают, а Патрик Маллиган (в будущем Токсин) - нужен был в паре сцен ради продвижения сюжета фильма, но гораздо большую роль похоже сыграет в продолжении.
По итогу получился детский, нелогичный и абсолютно ненужный фильм. Если добавить фильму дополнительные 30 минут, снизить количество шуток на 50%, дать фильму рейтинг 18+ и дать злодеям больше экранного времени и фильм получился бы гораздо лучше.
Студия, не давшая это реализовать запомните вот что - вы ублюдки.

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

Unconcerned with introducing us to its flawed take on the character, this sequel can instead fully embrace itself for what it is. That means the issues haven't changed. This is still too lighthearted and silly to really fit the titular anti-hero as we know him from the comics, the action is somewhat underwhelming, you'll be wishing to see blood the PG-13 rating won't allow for, and I continue to have no idea why Brock loves Anne who comes off as more of a cold-hearted psychopath than the symbiotic parasite going around taking over people's bodies. However, now it's free to fully roll with the madness allowing for a variety of wackadoodle scenarios that would feel out of place in any movie, much less a superhero one, and it's far more entertaining as a result.

A big driving point behind the hype for Let There Be Carnage, outside of its predecessor somehow actually having fans, was that we're finally getting to see the long-awaited cinematic debut of another one of Spider-Man's most memorable antagonists. Unfortunately the results on that front are kind of a mixed bag. Woody Harrelson's performance is fantastic and they definitely nailed the visual component. The red symbiote's appearance is less alien goo, and more mass of sentient flesh. This makes the transformation sequences where it looks like Cletus Kasady's body is literally transforming into a hideous monster particularly gross and striking. The script doesn't respect the supervillain as much as Andy Serkis does though, so he gets the same disposable treatment a considerably less popular Marvel foe would get which is incredibly disappointing. It feels as if the writers didn't take the time to give the conflict the significance it should have had in an effort to rush out the surprise ending that sees the merging of two worlds that never should have been separate in first place before the biggest MCU flick of the year came out.

At least it's fun. It's still not the Venom film we deserve, but my acceptance of that beforehand allowed me to get some enjoyment from it. Trashy in the way a lot of the cape and costume features of the 2000s were before Iron Man kicked off bringing them all together under one roof, I can't say this is truly "good." Just that it's come into its own enough to be accepted for what it is, even if simply to watch that mid-credits stinger which opens up the future to some exciting possibilities moving forward. Meaning that if the upcoming Morbius delivers at all, Sony might have started to get a grip on its standalone bad guy universe despite its rough start and inherently confused concept.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 7
Acting: 8
Plot: 6

The second instalment in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe (previously known as Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters) features the return of the anti-hero, Venom, and this time he will face Carnage, who was previously teased in the first movie. Originally slated to released in October 2020, the movie was delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic which forced theatres all over to close.

After the events of the first movie, Detective Patrick Mulligan (Graham) contacts Eddie Brock (Hardy) to talk to a serial killer, Cletus Kasady (Harrelson), whom they both have met each other last time. Cletus refused to talk to anyone but Eddie himself. Detective Mulligan wants Eddie to find out where Cletus have hidden the body of the victims he killed. During their conversation, Cletus wants Eddie to spread his message to his “fans” in exchange for his life story which would boost his career as a journalist.

Before Eddie leaves, Venom notices the drawings in Cletus’ cell which may be the location of where Cletus buried his victims. This turns out to be true when Eddie expose the location by publishing his article in the newspaper which give Eddie a huge career boost. However, this only angers Cletus because Eddie’s article is one-sided as the story only focus on his victim’s side of story and none of his.

When Cletus is finally found guilty and sentenced to death by lethal injection, Cletus request Eddie to come visit him. During the visit, Venom is provoke by Cletus when he insults Eddie leading to Cletus biting Eddie’s hand. Cletus then consume Eddie’s blood laced with Venom’s symbiote. On the day of Cletus’ execution, he merge with the symbiote and become Carnage. He breaks out of prison and begin his rampage.

Unlike the first movie, I find the sequel much better and more improved. First, the performance from the cast is great especially Tom Hardy. He played the character even much better than the previous movie. In addition, his character’s chemistry with Venom is really good and funny to watch at the same time. Not only that, both of them have good character developement. Venom really provided some funny moments especially in one scene without its original host.

Just like the previous movie, the story does not put too much focus on world building and setting up sequel baits. Instead, more efforts are put into storytelling. The story is fine but it is not great but not too bad either. For the direction of this movie, Andy Serkis have done a great job and he did much better than Ruben Fleischer. The former made this movie more watchable.

While Woody Harrelson played the role of Cletus Kasady/Carnage well, I felt the character don’t really have enough character development. Same to goes to Naomie Harris who played Frances Barrison/Shriek. Not only she does not have much character developement, she does not have much screen time either. Michelle Williams who played Anne Weying does not really do much in this movie and I felt she does not need to be in this movie at all.

Despite its flaws, I prefer this movie than the first one. Before you leave the theatre, stay back for the mid-credits scene. This is not just a normal and traditional mid-credits scene because there is a very huge surprise in that scene. Do not miss it at all cost.… Expand

In regards to the first film, this is definitely better. The first one took itself way too seriously and was very poorly lite. This film definitely becomes much much goofier after the opening scene and has more of a sense of personality to it than the other film. There isn’t a lot of personality as it becomes very formulaic. All of the acting is pretty bad but in a fun kind of way. Tom Hardy is definitely having a lot of fun and gives the best performance but Woody Harrelson and Naoime Harris are so bad that they are funny. Their chemistry is nonexistent and even leads to some logical issues in the final battle with Harris’s powers. The visual effects range from pretty good to awful in the span of seconds. There is a scene where Woody Harrelson in his Carnage form is breaking a cage and it looks absolutely awful but the rest of the visual effects don’t look bad at all. The action and editing are both pretty bad but it’s more the fault of the editing than the actual action itself. The editing is very fast paced and cuts very rapidly where it can be somewhat hard to see what is actually going on. This is an improvement from the first film though. One major thing I will give the film is its enjoyment and runtime. It’s very short plus it’s hilarious. Most of the time it’s unintentionally funny but still very funny none the less. I found myself to be laughing at the film a lot more than usual. Even though I don’t have a lot of positive things to say about this, I would definitely recommend checking it out. Watching it with friends would probably be the best option.… Expand

What was good: It's more fast paced than the original. The fight sequences are better. The animations explaining the villain's story are well done. Both Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson act their characters very convincingly. Eddie and Venom continue to bicker like a couple. What you may not like: The film gave me whiplash, jumping from funny moments to incredibly dark overtones. The leading villainous gets no backstory, so she's sort of there in the background.

If you want a serious action movie or a silly comedy, this film is somewhere in between. If you don't mind that, you may enjoy this.… Expand

The film's time was very short. Carnegie is a character who is accompanied by blood and gore. This movie was very childish and full of funny jokes. Poor characterization and the only strength of the film was Tom Hardy.

Yet as I said it is far from perfect.

The CG was incredibly inconsistent in quality, The final act felt incredibly rushed, and the movie only clocked in at a little under 90 minutes. This was way too short IMO as it felt like we were missing pieces of the story we should have seen. This one could have been another 10-15 minutes longer with ease. Add some more depth, flesh out the characters a bit more, and make us care about what happens to them in the future. Do that and the next film will be even better.

Hats off to Andy Serkis too. He got the best out of Hardy and Harrelson and really played into this movie's strengths while masking a lot of its weaknesses.… Expand

Of the pros, you can note the excellent acting of Tom Hardy and a good picture. But this is clearly a step back compared to Venom 2018.… Expand

For a film that barely lasts 97 minutes, it is surprising to see the simplicity of its script, especially since seeing such a short duration in this genre is quite rare.
And even though I can admit the fact that this story decides not to waste time with fillers like the first one, it also doesn't have moments that are truly noteworthy, and that's a bad thing.

If someone had told me that one day I would see these two characters sharing the screen, and without Spider-Man, I would have called them crazy, but here we are, and the result, although generically entertaining, is also a disappointing one.

The cast is having fun, especially Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson, and that at least makes the results feel a little more natural and fun, though inevitably fruitless.

Don't be fooled. Venom: Let There Be Carnage may provide you with an unpretentious fun time, and that's more than valid, but its greatest purpose, which will define its future, lies in the post-credits scene, which adds another brick to the immense storyline that Marvel is planning and constructing with the multiverse.
And that after all, it's what everyone really wants to see.… Expand

The visual effects for Venom and Carnage are outstanding. The screenplay was really fun especially the conversations between Eddie and Venom. Tom Hardy's dual performance as Eddie and Venom is superb, he does an excellent job at creating really chemistry between the two characters. Woody Harrelson, Peggy Lu, Michelle Williams, and Naomie Harris gave great performances as well. Also that after credits scene with Tom Holland's Peter Parker/Spider-Man and J. K. Simmons's J. Jonah Jameson was awesome. Overall a really good movie.… Expand

The first Venom (2018) movie was a very generic and forgettable superhero movie. I came out feeling rather underwhelmed by it but I still had some expectations for the sequel since it teased the iconic villain, Carnage. The premise is "EddieThe first Venom (2018) movie was a very generic and forgettable superhero movie. I came out feeling rather underwhelmed by it but I still had some expectations for the sequel since it teased the iconic villain, Carnage. The premise is "Eddie Brock is still struggling to coexist with the shape-shifting extraterrestrial Venom. When deranged serial killer Cletus Kasady also becomes host to an alien symbiote, Brock and Venom must put aside their differences to stop his reign of terror". So does it live up to the title or is just another mediocre movie from Sony?

Firstly, Tom Hardy is still phenomenal as Eddie Brock and the voice of Venom. He still gives a very physically striking performance that is entertaining to watch. It is very clear that Tom Hardy is giving 100% and is also having a blast doing it. One of the most important plot points in this film is the relationship between Eddie and Venom and it is the biggest highlight. Eddie and Venom have a conflict that is similar to that of a rom-com. They are both arguing with each other, like a couple, on how they want to be a hero and how they want to live their life. It is so incredibly weird to see a man argue with an alien like they are married but it was so fun to watch.

Just from the description above, it is obvious that this film leans more towards the comedy side while not taking itself that seriously. Notably, a lot of the comedic moments and jokes made me chuckle. This is thanks to some great writing and performance from Tom Hardy. The final fight is also a lot better than the previous film as this time, I could see what was going on thanks to the director using good lighting. Venom: Let There Be Carnage also has a very memorable mid-credit scene that is quite shocking and amazing. Unfortunately, it is quite bad when the mid-credit scene is the most memorable thing this movie has going for it. The actual plot is a very generic superhero affair that is no different from the first film. It goes through a lot of the same plot beats as Venom(2018). Eddie and Venom clash then they break up, the bad guy is Venom but evil, Venom and Eddie reunite to stop the bad guy. There is a rom-com plot with Eddie and Venom but that is very unconnected to the main plot of Carnage. The first 2 acts is just Eddie and Venom arguing with some carnage plotlines sprinkled in and then the final act with the fight. There isn't a real strong build-up for the fight between Venom and Carnage. Carnage hates Venom for literally no reason which makes the final fight feel less meaningful. Additionally, Carnage/Cletus is a forgettable villain which is such a shame considering how iconic and amazing he is in the comics. This film butchers him completely! What makes Carnage/Cletus great is how ruthless both of them are. They are both insane murderers and together they would rip spines and heads off. However, due to the PG-13 rating there never really is a sense of "Carnage" and it feels boring seeing them in action. For some silly reason, they give Cletus a love interest in Frances/Shriek who has screaming powers. Why does she have those powers? Who knows because they never bother to explain it. The film confirms that Cletus murdered her grandmother and her mother in cold blood yet make him somehow really loving of Frances. It completely ruins his character. She is also the second villain in the film and she is also a garbage character that I wish they removed from the film completely. Near the end, some really stupid things occur as well with a certain character pulling a 180 when it makes no sense for them to do so. They also include a line that tries to make Cletus sympathetic but it doesn't work when you show him murder an innocent guy earlier...

There is also some returning supporting cast like Michelle Williams who they still waste in this film. There is also a new character Patrick Mulligan played by Stephen Graham who does a good job with what he is given but his character is very boring. Overall, I enjoyed it more than the first film but it certainly doesn't live up to the Carnage title. Thankfully, Tom Hardy is still enjoyable to watch and the movie is a lot shorter with its 90-minute runtime so it is not as exhausting to watch. However, it is still a shame that Sony still hasn't managed to create a great Venom movie but the mid-credit scene certainly makes me hype for a future movie even if this one was also quite generic.… Expand

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

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

The Carnage's story was good and the eddie's usual day with venom and his interaction with some people was amazing, The fight between venom and eddie was like Wtf but funny, the carnage's prison escape was awesome and the venom at bar his speech was fun then the ms chen's venom talk and the venom kiss reference was amazing, The ending fight at the church and the fire and sound stuff with it the one and only fight between venom and carnage ended such fastly didn't felt satisfying although visually amazing and the ending with daily bugle and spiderman it was nuts.

The whole movie is just action after action after action that doesn't really stop. On the plus side, it's good that I wasn't bored for a second because the movie kept overwhelming me with a ton of action scenes, which were of course excellent. Carnage comes on the scene and the moments with him were awesome. Of course the film is mostly about Venom, who is over the top here. On the one hand, we get a good dose of Venom, but personally I would have preferred if maybe he wasn't here so much. How can I put this. The pacing is so fast that the film lacks room for any story in the finale in my opinion. It could have done with more dialogue here and there in my opinion, and it just wouldn't have hurt to slow down in places and absorb all the adrenaline the film has to offer. On top of that, when we do get some room for plot, it's mostly comedic scenes, which will probably suit a lot of people, but personally I would have preferred a more serious approach. To sum up. The new Venom isn't a bad movie. I enjoyed it. The dose of proper CGI action was fun, but it was just too much in my opinion. So it's both a cool thing, because there's always something going on, and actually the biggest minus of the film, because you just don't stop and there's always some action, and there's also some comedic dialogue at times, which, while entertaining, in my opinion, unnecessarily brings down the seriousness of the plot. This is my opinion. Like I said the film is not bad and I certainly can't say I didn't enjoy it, but for me it is an above average film that I would rather not recommend.

Se nota que es un puente a otra película, y como que lo hicieron a las prisas. Yo habría hecho 2 películas, una más para Carnage, y otra ya para Venom, pero así es demasiado apurado y poco desarrollado todo.
Lo mejor el bonus clip.

· Cosas buenas: Tiene momentos chulos, el diseño de personajes es una barbaridad y tiene toques de humor interesantes.
· Cosas malas: Demasiado caótica, en todos sus aspectos, se toma demasiado poco en serio, y es muy desmesurada, tanto en humor como en su acción, el ritmo es demasiado rápido.
· Conclusión: Siempre está bien para pasar el rato, pero falla en muchos aspectos, lo que podría haber sido...… Expand

tragiczny pod względem historii czy montażu, ,,samoświadome gówno" ze średnim pomysłem i zmarnowanym potencjałem. Jednak relacja Eddiego oraz Venoma to cud miód

This thin predictable story, campiness, forced humour, and the white noise CGI fest is what we should've left behind in the 90s comic book movies.

Embraces the goofy tone of the first movie. Doesn't take itself too seriously. A lot of funny moments and some enjoyable action. Tom Hardy kills it yet again.

Being only 90 minutes long and PG13 surely attributed to the movie's failures but the writing is of a similar quality to what a 15 year old with ADHD would scribble down.

Tom Hardy is a great actor and I have liked everything I've ever seen with him in it, apart from these two movies, but he was apparently a writer and producer of this one so it seems like he should just stick to acting.… Expand

A short film that is light on laughs (despite trying really hard to be funny) but heavy on action. Pointless plot and lackluster ending left me feeling unsatisfied, this film is a quick cash in. No more, no less. A poor 5/10

It’s a simple movie with a short runtime that flies by quickly and there is something to appreciate here for a superhero/comic-book flick in this day and age to just embrace its campiness and B-Movie feel. Doesn’t make it good, though, as that can only take the enjoyment to a certain degree before one start wishing there is a bit more substance in the script since it’s more dumb than fun. The same camp-style can be kept but be a bit more clever with it.

Tom Hardy was good as Eddie Brock yet again and is easily the best part of the movie, I just wish he had a better script to work with. The odd-couple schtick was fun for a while but then it went on for far too long and the overemphasis on comedy in this sequel detracts more than it adds. The lack of focus on the villain and rushing that plot point to get to the big CGI fight finale also hurts the overall experience. Woody Harrelson was hamming it up in the role with what he was given and he was fun with a layer of cringe.

There were some cool/entertaining action scenes, the finale fight was certainly better than the first one. The movie, however, once again reinforces the fact that Venom SORELY needs to be Rated-R which would have made Carnage’s carnage so much better. With the first one, I get that they had to make a safe play, but with the sequel, they should have embraced the violence.

Not much else to say about this one. Kinda disappointed as I did like the first movie more which admittedly over time has fallen a bit in my eyes too. This character has a lot more potential than what we are being given and I hope whatever outing it gets next, it’s done better. If you enjoyed the first one, you might like the sequel but if you didn’t enjoy it, this won’t change your mind. And if I were to rate it, I’d give it a 5.5/10.… Expand

"Venom: Let there be carnage" does not have a proper plot and it does not even try.

Admittedly, if it tried to present itself as anything more than what it put forward, it would be a definitively worse movie. It senselessly tries to recreate the best and most enjoyable parts of its previous movie - doing so without the brilliant subtext, subtlety or novelty of its predecessor. As a result, the talent of the cast is wasted and any potential for something improved is dead on arrival. And all that is left is uninspired silliness just for the sake of it. I imagine when obnoxious Hollywood directors talk down comic book movies, "Venom: Let there be carnage" is exactly the kind of movie they have in mind, and Iron Man (2008) to a lesser extent. Much has been made of the movie's end credit scene; I think it is meaningless. Overall, "Venom: Let there be carnage" is a disappointing movie, especially if compared to its predecessor.… Expand

Lots of wasted potential, both the the story and the characters. It has great actors but the script they have to work with is bad and too childish. Lacked a lot of plot.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Big boy pants!

Wow… I never thought this movie would turn out like a gay romcom. Cletus and Carnage were okay antagonists; I didn’t like how psychologically mad they were. I liked the new comedic take on Venom though, he was so freaking hilarious!

As of the time of this review, I’m unsure what the post-credits scene means. I imagine Venom will show up in No Way Home, but I have no idea how he would fit into the movie. He is an antihero, so it would be weird if he randomly hated Spider-Man. Because symbiotes are connected through the multiverse in the comics, maybe Venom realized that Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man killed the Venom of his universe? That would cause Venom to connect his grief to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man… thus a feeling of revenge and he becomes the possible sixth member of No Way Home’s Sinister Six. I guess this will be answered in a couple weeks!

More enjoyable than the first Venom movie.

6/10… Expand

It's engaging and fun. But at the expense of the storyline. Everything is everywhere, and the character's seem out of touch and unreal. It's quite a useless movie which doesnt have much to say.
