Review of Venom (2018) by Justin B — 08 Oct 2018
Venom is such a fun, campy film that won't be for everyone. But if you like cheesy one liners and action you'll be getting this in spades!
The best thing about the movie is Eddie and Venom's relationship. The character is literally OOZING with charisma, making dumb lines like, "turd in the wind" hit home in the best of ways. The interactions of these two characters was worth the price of admission alone!
But the movie is still rather flawed. The plot is very one dimensional, though that doesn't slow it down. What does slow it down is how long it takes to SEE Venom, but this is a common issue with origin films.
Honestly the only thing I desperately wanted from this was some connection to Spider-Man. The character is so much better when he starts out as a spurned Spider-Man villain. But for what the film gave us I was thoroughly satisfied and hope to see more from Tom Hady's performances here!
