let's be clear in this review... I am a Sony hater. but I will not let that perspective get in this review. so venom a movie that was definitely needed due to the reception of Spiderman 3. is venom for everyone. no its not and should of been rated R because of the fact that the movie feels rated R but because of editing its ended up being PG-13. and there is a lot of people dying from heads being eaten and the movie does talk about heads being eaten. and who is eating the heads of people well Eddie Brock and venom. Tom Hardy does a great job with Eddie and venom and it feels like he the only one who gives a dang about the movie and the rest of the cast feels they are making dull perform and want a paycheck. the "girlfriend" of the film is just there because the movie apparently needed it. the villain of the film is probably the nicest villain I have ever seen on the big screen. yes, he does kill people but he does in a nice way he also is manipulative but he too nice even then. whats the story of venom or in this case stories cause it seems the movie wants to be a trilogy in one movie, I get the idea of plot A and plot B. but it feels tiring when all three stories want to be plot A while plot B just sitting there doing nothing. there is creepy imagery in this film, so if you don't like any creepy stuff this is not the movie for you. there is also a lot of shaky cameras that at some point you can't tell what's going on. the CGI of the symbiotes are fine. the talks with venom and Eddie are the best part of venom. there is after credits scenes and one of them is laughable as they put another scene from another film spiderman into the Spider-verse scene and I don't count that because it will get dated in a couple months so really it's laughable. there is a scene with Cletus Kasady AKA Carnage. it's meh. it feels not important at all. over all the writing is meh, the story is bad, characters are meh. so its a meh for a general audience but for spidey fan and venom fans is pretty ok.
