Review of Venom (2018) by Darren M — 07 Oct 2018

Despite some off putting reviews you must ask yourself "Who is Venom made for ..?" - Is it the fanbase, having loved Venom growing up, or the critics who rated the long winded and boring "Gravity" and "Let the right one in" so highly, yet can't get past the plot here?.

It's obvious the more these self appointed experts dislike the Venom film the more speed and personal enjoyment the diehard fans of Spiderman are enjoying it . Myself personally I wouldn't change anything.

The trailers gave away lots but the film still made me think "Oh that's how they're doing it this time.." (regarding the Venom symbiote becoming one with Eddie) and it works. Happily to my approval.

Plus having Tom Hardy is the best signing they could've asked for. He's exceptional and in time the better more accurate reviews will outweigh the negative I'm certain (just like the Dark Knight Rises did) The CGI could've been slowed slightly just to be able to take in the fight scenes in more detail but it doesn't matter overall.

The story All PARTS of it I loved and the characters too (although my wife didn't like Anne played by Michelle Williams) but my wife who is new to the whole thing and thought the trailers were cheesy and had no high hopes for a good 2hr viewing really enjoyed it and pre-ordered me the Blu-ray steel book with 4K and bonus disc.

We both want to watch it again with my step son who would've loved to been with us except for the age rating (he's 11) but really it's not as bad violence language etc as I thought it would be so we're not concerned.

Can't wait till the sequel and hopefully a third :).
