Review of Venom (2018) by Log K — 06 Oct 2018
About Venom: 3/10.
Overall, the movie relys too much on the standard comic book movie scripts pre- MCU, much like the comic movies of the 90s and 00s. At this point, I just think the bar has been raised and Venom is, saddly, MotS as a standard and script following movie, without giving the audience anything new. Reminded me a lot of Ghost Rider in the 00s. Save money.
HOWEVER, if you do see it, stay for the after credit scene of Into the Spider Verse, as that looks like a hilarious movie.
This movie would have been better if it had two essential Venom elements. 1. Address the fact that Eddie Brock has a brain tumor that the symbiont was sustaining itself on. Like in the comics. 2. Did not have the symbiont talk until maybe the next movie or the very end.
The movie could have opened with Eddie's fall and realization that he had cancer (Which it does not even come close to addressing). Then introduce the symbiont.
