Venom: Let There Be Carnage

Very predictable. Went to go watch it in the movies when it first came out and Litterally fell asleep halfway through

I wanna smoke whtever these guys had making this film

I don't know what I wanted but it wasn't this silly regurgitated replica. Sony spinoff villains have always been bad, Riz Ahmed was at least likeable, but Woody Harrelson and Naomie Harris are unbearable. The casting surrounding Tom, Michelle, Mrs. Chen, and maybe Dan is so draining. I tried to have fun with it but it got nowhere. It's the same thing the first did only 'different'. Half the 'rules' don't make sense either. I was between a meh/dislike, ultimately it has 0 rewatchability and is forgettable. I watched it in cinema, on release, and cannot remember going. Even Venom isn't enough to make me enjoy it.

Nice

9/10

Rated: 6.6/10

Woody Harrelson as Carnage with Andy Serkis directing made this 97-minute sequel an easy stream. I like this; leaning into Eddie and Venom’s roommate comedy makes this a fast, chaotic upgrade.

The Director's Eye (What Worked):
• Hardy bickering with himself is hilarious.
• Serkis gives Carnage octopus-like movement, and the Grace Cathedral fight pops thanks to the lighting.
• Harrelson and Harris chew the scenery, while Reid Scott’s Dan gets to be a good sport.

The Friction (What Didn't Click for Me):
• A bloodless PG-13 rating takes some teeth out of Carnage’s prison rampage.
• The brisk 97-minute pace leaves Mulligan and Shriek’s backstory feeling rushed.

The Verdict:
I like it. Watch for goofy buddy banter and brawls. Skip if you want an R-rated story.
