Review of Venom (2018) by Joshua S — 06 Oct 2018

Awesome film. Great blend of action and humor. Really enjoyed the relationship between Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock and the symbiote venom. Well structured film with plenty of nods to the comics source material without them ever becoming necessary to enjoy the experience. It did have the same final garbage fire villain fight almost all superhero films exhibit, but it worked for the film. Despite its PG-13 rating it was not suitable for kids and pushed the boundaries for slightly older kids. Risking sounding like an old fogey, the action sequences bordered on being loud enough to lose definition and at time was visually overwhelming. Definitely stay through the end credits. In true Marvel fashion the post-credits scenes were worth the wait.

Thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
