Review of Venom (2018) by Viviana M — 09 Oct 2018

I think this is the Venom movie I expected without a Spiderman connection, and at this point I think it would be lesser with his inclusion. As a fan of both the hero and anti-hero, I am more than happy to see a darker character get lead billing instead of twenty minutes plotting to take over the world.

I thought they did a good job making him independent and interesting, including a lot of comic book references without making it inaccessible with those just coming in. It was visually exciting, I will admit some fight sequences were a little too close and speedy to be 100% certain what might have been happening, but it felt true to character.

I may not be a movie critic, but as a fan going to see one of his favorite character's I was very pleased and am now eager for another film if they continue to go down this path.
