Review of Venom (2018) by Pablo I — 29 Dec 2018

Although it can be slightly cheesy, I loved this movie. So much. I love Venom as a character and I love the way Sony did this movie. The rest of this review is spoilers, so if you haven\t watched, I would stop reading now.

Anyhow, this movie was great. This is exactly how I see Venom in different universe where Spider-Man isn't in the picture. Spider-Man is what made Venom, Venom, to many viewers. But only people who know the comics (or who have played literally ANY of the Spider-Man games excluding Spider-Man PS4) know who half the characters are from the comics, including the side antagonist "Riot" and of course, Cletus Kasady, the main host of the Carnage symbiote.

What people don\t understand is this is a different universe, that we can assume Spider-Man is not in Eddie Brock's life. In this universe, Eddie ruined his own life, unlike his blame of Spider-Man in the Raimi films.

This Venom never bonded with Spider-Man. therefore never saw him as a perfect host, and saw Eddie as his perfect host. People are nit-picking about how Venom's eyes are like Spider-Mans and how he can sling webs and climb walls.

First off, this is a completely different universe and possibly a different MCU altogether. If Spider-Man was there to stop Venom, he would've done so before Venom literally beat a SWAT team to death with their own men.

This move is awesome and although there are some silly moments, it really helps take away from the darkness of it, as it really is a great movie. Venom is SUPPOSED to be chaotic and noisy. That's what makes Venom the character he is.

Would you want to see a Venom beating people to death, crushing cars, and eating people for an hour and a half, or see him sipping tea humming to himself. I think Tom Hardy along with the rest of the Venom cast did and outstanding job.

Venom was never a "Villain". Venom was molded by Brock's hate for Peter Parker. We don't have this in this movie. Which is why Venom leans closer to good (despite him barely knowing a difference) In conclusion, Venom is a total bad ass in this movie, and I can't wait for the second movie which is sure to come in 2020.

Because then the critics won't know what hit em'.
