The first one was decent and was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt as it was the start of a new franchise but my god this film was horrendous.
I think 6 is generous for this mess of a movie. I was not a massive fan of the first movie either, but the plot what there was of it was better than the story in this sequel. The plot is really basic even for a superhero movie, and slowly drags its way to the inevitable CGI clash which was pretty unimpressive. I did smile at a couple of the exchanges between Venom, and Brock, but the movie even though it is only 90mins felt much longer. Spiderman NWH was actually much longer, but felt so much shorter,
Not as good as the first but I enjoyed it more than recent Marvel offerings like Ten Rings and Eternals. Venom just matches my bad sense of humour I guess. It doesnt go on for hours like most modern movies also.
Well me and my wife actually really enjoyed this at the cinema, more than the first one - it’s actually a short film for once, it’s daft and rattles along at a very quick pace. It’s almost like a gothic rom/com break/up movie rather than a superhero one. First 10 mins we weren’t sure but loved it…. Far far more than the new ghostbusters abomination.
Disclaimer: I love mindless daft popcorn films (sometimes even when they dont contain a Vin Diesel)
I like both Venom films too. They are silly, they know they are silly and they try to have a bit of fun doing it.
Breath of fresh air compared to most other films in the genre, which often fall flat trying to blend action and comedy with seriousness.
