Summary
Reviewers say 'Venom' is a divisive film with mixed reviews. Tom Hardy's performance and the dynamic between Eddie and Venom are highlights. Action scenes and special effects receive praise, though consistency is questioned. Critics cite a weak script, underdeveloped characters, and uneven pacing. Some suggest a darker tone and R rating could improve it. The supporting cast is often deemed underwhelming. Despite flaws, many find it enjoyable for its humor and fun superhero elements.
Featured reviews
I don't know what's going on with all the negative reviews. People are really hard to please!
I went to see that movie without any real expectations and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
- Tom Hardy does a fantastic job
- Venom is an interesting and fun character
- The plot is fairly classic for this type of movie; nothing good or bad about it
- The special effects are great - I loved the transformation scenes.
"Venom" is a funny and entertaining film based on a Marvel antihero Venom with reasonable storyline, awesome special effects and weak and annoying villain performed by the awful Riz Ahmed. However, Tom Hardy has good performance in the role of the clumsy loser Eddie Brock and Michelle Williams complete the lead cast. This film is also the chance to see Stan Lee in his last cameo. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Venom"
Note: On 06 January 2025, I saw this film again.

Venom is about the symbiotic relationship of man and alien, with the latter being the gross one. Funny at times, with a lovely performance from Tom Hardy -if you are a fan of mr Hardy, this is going to be entertaining for you.
First half goes very well in terms of setting the story and the venom universe, second part is more about action and there it has a few flaws but it is still fun and interesting to watch.
It is a cool view on the "almost anti-hero" venom/eddie character that kept my attention.
I had a good time watching this in the theaters and i ll definitely have a second view when it comes out in bray or dvd.
So, all in all its def not the best action film of all times or even of 2018...but dont have too high expectations and you will definitely like it.
8/10.
I get it, even the people who may already hit the not helpful button, before reading this. You see my rating and go: "no way". And I get it in the sense, that I haven't read the comics as much as many people who were expecting and hoping this would go "R"-rated. Of course this stretches the boundaries of PG-13, because it is quite violent. But it will never be enough from what I heard from people who know the comics.
So if that is something that is dear to your heart, again I get it. If you are just here to enjoy a comic book movie, there is quite a lot to enjoy. Tom Hardy really cherishes in his mania. Enjoy the Mayhem even if there was a sort of better "inside voice" movie last year called "Upgrade". So yes, if you only watch one of those make it Upgrade. But if you don't mind watching another, watch this too, because it ain't half bad

This movie legit showed that a side character CNA have a movie, although this movie sometimes got slow especially around the Indian Elon musk dude but whatever

Did you know
- TriviaTom Hardy's son Louis Thomas Hardy is a fan of Venom, and Hardy took the role to please him: "I wanted to do something my son could watch. So I did something where I bite people's heads off." Louis also guided his father on how to appropriately portray Brock/Venom, since Hardy didn't know the character very well.
- Goofs(at around 3 mins) The scenes with the Malaysian ambulance shows the vehicle driving on the right hand side of the road, and the steering wheel on the left-hand side of the vehicle. Malaysia drives on the left side of the road (like in the UK & Australia), and the steering wheel should be on the right-hand side of the vehicle.
- Crazy creditsThere is a scene in the closing credits: Eddie Brock goes to visit convicted killer Cletus Kasady in San Quentin Prison who proclaims that once he is released, there will be "carnage".
