Review of Venom (2018) by Destiny S — 07 Oct 2018

Let's be straight, this movie is pretty messy. But at the same time, is it worth your time and money? I'd say yes if you are a Marvel / Venom fan, but that's a tentative yes. Tom Hardy's performance is so over-the-top and surprisingly good, and there are a lot of great moments between him and Venom, and that's easily the best thing about the movie to me.

It's decently funny, and the action scenes are decent too, but there's something missing. The villain isn't anything to write home about and the script is all over the place. This movie overall feels like it's struggling to stay within the confines of a PG-13 rating, which I think hurts it overall and was a huge missed opportunity.

I think they should have gone with the R-rating, but it's still a good time, just an overly childish good time for this time of main character. Logan it ain't.
