POSITIVES…
The best thing about the first Venom movie is Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and Tom Hardy as Venom interacting with each other. That’s absolutely the same for this sequel.
This without a doubt is a wild and outrageously silly movie that will keep you on your toes with how bonkers it can get.
Gotta give credit to the fine talented actors here who were not afraid to ham it up with their over the top performances, because that’s exactly what makes this movie tick.
I could watch a whole stage play, set in one location, of Eddie Brock arguing, bantering, and fighting with Venom. It’s like a comedy routine unlike anything you’ve ever seen in the cinema.
Just the comedic comebacks and constant commentary by Venom alone is entertaining enough.
Woody Harrelson has that ideal manic persona to bring Cletus Kasady and Carnage to life.
Kudos to both Naomie Harris and Michelle Williams for being game to what this movie requires of them in their roles.
Shout out to Peggy Lu for being part of the supporting cast again. We need more Mrs Chen!
From Carnage’s introduction to the big CGI fight with Venom in the final act, I thought this movie produced some big solid set pieces.
Some destruction that’s worthy of a monster movie.
There’s actually an animated sequence that cleverly goes around that PG-13 rating.
Sonny & Cher are friends.
Appreciated the fact that this movie managed to keep it’s running time at about 90 minutes.
That mid-credits sequence!
NEGATIVES…
That PG-13 Rating is a hindrance to the actual carnage they should be showing on screen.
The insanely wacky tone and narrative is absolutely not going to be for everybody.
Is this story kinda just dumb?
Plot conveniences! Gotta keep the story moving I guess.
No shade to Naomie Harris, but her character of Frances Barrison AKA Shriek is just not written that well.
Same to Stephen Graham as Detective Mulligan. Just an undercooked character.
Those looking for several epic fight sequences between Venom and Carnage will probably be disappointed.
Speaking of wanting more, there will be those who will think that the movie should have been longer.
