Review of Venom (2018) by Cameron V — 04 Oct 2018

I think the critics' rating of this movie are way too harsh. It's not perfect and it's far from the best comic book movie. Tom Hardy pretty much holds this movie up with his own shoulders and his ability to morph from one emotion to another seamlessly.

Michelle Williams was woefully cast in the wrong role and that wig needed to never shown itself on film. The CGI, mainly the dual Eddie/Venom shots were completely unconvincing. The storyline kind of plodded along for a bit.

But at the end of the day, the movie was entertaining and I felt good leaving the theater. The tone was uneven, starting off pretty seriously, and ending in an overly lighthearted manner. Then the post-credit scene flipped the switch again.
