Review of Venom (2018)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 01 Oct 2018

Sony Pictures appear to have lavished a nine-figure sum on, and are now hoping to establish an entire cinematic universe on the back of, a…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Jimmyo (378) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 01 Oct 2018

This won't change how you view superhero movies, but it's a great escape nonetheless…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Bryan Bishop (118) for The Verge (432) on 01 Oct 2018

It’s a train wreck of a movie, mixing and matching wildly dissonant tones, bizarre plot contrivances, and a truly unique lead performance…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Chris Nashawaty (734) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 01 Oct 2018

Venom isn’t quite bad, but it’s not exactly good either. It’s noncommittally mediocre and, as a result, forgettable…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Scott Mendelson (400) for Forbes (586) on 01 Oct 2018

It's not good, but it has a self-satirical edge, and Tom Hardy seems to be trying to be the first actor to win an Oscar and a Razzie for the…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Sean O'connell (919) for CinemaBlend (829) on 01 Oct 2018

Removing Spider-Man from the overall equation creates too many narrative potholes around which Venom fails to weave with any sort of grace or style…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Michael Nordine (446) for indieWire (3,631) on 01 Oct 2018

This leaves the viewer with two choices: reject the parasite or let it take you over…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 01 Oct 2018

It exists as a waste of time (although, one hopes, a sizable payday) for some very talented actors, and it’s proof that even Marvel doesn’t…

Review of Venom (2018)

By George Simpson (10) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 01 Oct 2018

It's plain old 'meh'. A film that feels like what you'd expect from a below average superhero flick circa 2004, like Ghost Rider or Fantastic Four…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Don Kaye (124) for Den of Geek (424) on 01 Oct 2018

Venom plays like a Marvel movie that might have been made in 1996, with no nuance, little character development, and a clunky, on-the-nose…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Laura Prudom (13) for IGN Movies (1,472) on 01 Oct 2018

Tom Hardy’s committed performance can’t overcome a painful script and indecisive direction, resulting in a film with a personality that’s…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Variety (12,700) on 01 Oct 2018

Venom is a textbook case of a comic-book film that’s unexciting in its ho-hum competence, and even its visual-effects bravura…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Angie Han (120) for Mashable (91) on 01 Oct 2018

A movie that initially seemed just-plain-bad becomes so-bad-it's-good. Or maybe it's just plain good…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Todd Mccarthy (1,810) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 01 Oct 2018

Venom feels like a throwback, a poor second cousin to the all-stars that have reliably dominated the box-office charts for most of this century…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Matt Patches (283) for Polygon (677) on 01 Oct 2018

Venom would be another anonymous notch on the superhero movie belt if not for Hardy, whose dedication to batshit nonsense is a saving grace…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Perri Nemiroff (375) for Collider (1,032) on 01 Oct 2018

Venom almost gets away with its nonsensical plot in the end thanks to that Eddie and Venom bromance, but then you're reminded of the major…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Tim Grierson (1,482) for Screen International (2,241) on 01 Oct 2018

Like his hungry symbiote latching onto Eddie, Fleischer cunningly fastens a malicious irreverence onto an otherwise lacklustre superhero movie…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Justin Chang (1,535) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 01 Oct 2018

Directed with flat, joyless competence by Ruben Fleischer (“Zombieland,” “Gangster Squad”), “Venom” brings with it a laborious,…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for The Guardian (2,969) on 01 Oct 2018

There are in fact one or two big gags, but no real sense of fun - not compared to something like Thor: Ragnarok…

Review of Venom (2018)

By Charles Pulliam-Moore (3) for io9.com (258) on 01 Oct 2018

It's a loud, kind of silly action/buddy cop movie that just wants you to kick back with a bucket of popcorn and have a good time while a space…
