Venom: Let There Be Carnage

Main issue is that it should have been R-Rated. All Carnage scenes would have been so much cooler. Most of the CGI looks decent, but some scenes look really weird, like almost Ghost Rider (2007) level bad, when Carnage is jumping around fast. When he walks it looks better.

I'm not even sure why i was expecting better movie, because first Venom wasn't anything special either, but in first Movie, Venom CGI at least looked very good.

Overall i'm still glad that they made this movie and that there's finally live-action version of one of the most evil Spider-Man villains, best part of whole movie was end-credit scene.

I am not gonna write a long review, but hands down, best venom from all his appearances in movies and tv. I was begging for another hour when it was over. I loved it.

Marvel and DC these days remind me of those big players of the worldwide cheeseburger "distribution network" - the products always taste the same, because the ingredients are always accurately of the same nature and made the same way. Always. The same applies these days to those entertainment companies - you already know what to expect if a new show or movie leaves the factories of those big players of genetic movie engineering. Venom: Let There Be Carnage is not a candidate for the worst movie categories nor a total bore or fail, it is just a part of that endless and constant stream of "entertainment" these factories produce: easy to consume, easy to forget. Long gone are the times when I heard people talking about a new movie or show of those "big" players. Disappointed? No, it's just business as usual.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a one trick pony that doesn't land its trick. The entire movie is filler stalling for its final battle, yet that showdown is disappointing. Yes, it is between two marketable comic book characters, but that's all it provides. The villain is underdeveloped and uninteresting, the imagery is sloppy and cluttered, and the choreography is nonsensical. Because there is no coherent style or vision, the sequence ends up being a big, ugly mess. Normally, the details of an action sequence wouldn't be so significant, but that's all this film invests in.

Everything about the story is rushed, repetitive, and uninspired. There are no intimate moments to allow things sink in because the script lacks substance worth meditating on. The humor is okay at times, Tom Hardy is talented enough to have chemistry with himself, and effort went into the CGI (though it was overused). However, besides that, this production is pointless. Even the violence is unsatisfyingly suppressed for that PG-13 rating. Undoubtedly, some fanboys will be content with a mediocre fight between two characters they recognize, but as a film, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a noisy pile of nothing.

The Good:

• Nice CGI

The Bad:

• Immense cringe factor
• Terrible story with unclear character motivations
• Complete Overacting
• Full of cliches
• 80% of the jokes don't land

...

The film is a complete character assassination of a beloved character that might ruin Venom forever. (I hope not tho... I grew up with the comics and love the character.)

I really don't understand how this movie even got made in the first place.

Like... Did you ever want to see Venom in a disco... Making a speech about equality... Dropping a mic at the end? This is not Venom - This is a complete joke!
