Pros: 1. The CGI looks good which helps to prevent Carnage (Woody Harrelson) and Venom (Tom Hardy) from becoming too cartoonish.

2. Both Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson provide as good as a performance as they can.

3. There is fantastic chemistry between Woody Harrelson and Tom Hardy, which makes it a shame that there aren't more scenes with them two in.

Cons: 1. The pacing is horribly rushed, as story-lines and conflicts are introduced and then resolved almost instantly.

2. The character conflicts are exceedingly flimsy and thus uninteresting, for example that between Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and Anne Weying (Michelle Williams) wherein they fall out of an engagement (which lasts about a minute), but in the next scene they have together they're friends again.

3. The writing is incredibly lazy and it's clear that not much thought went into it. An example of this would be when Venom and Eddie Brock rally to defeat Carnage and Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) by uttering the cliche that they're stronger together than apart (even though their fallout was violent and Eddie Brock forces Venom to fundamentally change his diet, whilst claiming that Carnage and Cletus Kasady aren't symbiotic even though the inverse is true for them.

4. There are too many forced conflicts which take screen-time away from the more interesting conflicts and story-lines.

5. The comedy is hit and miss, but mostly miss as it felt that it was largely for immature audiences.

6. Considering that this movie was about Venom and Carnage (two ravenous man-eaters), in addition to a prolific serial killer featuring and child abuse being brought up, this movie should have aimed for an R-rating but instead it played it safe and thus was more boring than it should have been.

7. The movie was a little tonally all over-the-place as it kept introducing humour into the serious moments which cheapened said serious moments immensely.

8. Despite there being few relevant characters to the story, most of them are still given barely anything to do.
