Review of Venom (2018) by Ben G — 04 Oct 2018

I thought the film was really good. People just have to realize that there is a universe that Spider-Man might not exist in. Venom takes the possibility of Spiderman related villains existing outside of the universe.

The film had some low points due to awkward chemistry at the beginning between Eddie Brock and Annie from all of the major jump cuts in the first act but the second and third acte seem to work fairly well with each other.

The humor was interesting and also very well done in places in the appearance of the couple venom Easter eggs were very welcome especially to some people who were burned pretty bad by Topher Grace's Version of venom.

I believe this movie can definitely be enjoyed with an open mind and an expectancy that this is not an MCU movie but a standalone action superhero/super villain/anti-hero story that sets up A Spiderman universe without Spiderman.

I recommend going and seeing the movie, completely open minded, and then basing your opinion is on it. Tom Hardy worked so hard on that film as well as everybody else so we At least give them the benefit of the doubt and go in there with an open mind it to try to enjoy this movie as I did.
