Review of Venom (2018) by Cory D — 05 Oct 2018

This isn't the comic book film to change the game, but it is highly enjoyable popcorn cinema with great lead performances with a lightweight script and pretty cool action scenes. Not sure whats up with critics these days, maybe it's expectations when they heard it should be more like a horror themed storyline but as a comic geek myself, I liked what they did despite losing the R rated aspect which no doubt would of improved the film.

Unlike The Predator, which was a real disappointment, Venom is a solid enough beginning for Hardy's Eddie Brock, one I hope we get to see more of. I mean how crap were the first two Thors? Then look what happened.

I'd put this in the Iron Man 2, Predator 2 area...just good films that don't set out to do much more than entertain. Weeee had a good time.
