Definitely much better than the first Venom. They get right into the relationship between Venom and Eddie and it is very fun to watch. The movie is decently funny and the action is definitely improved. Cletus is a much better villain than that life foundation guy but his wife is really poorly handled. The movie jumps around from scene to scene very quickly and it is very impressive that they fit so much into only an hour and a half. That being said, it can feel too quick at times. Overall it is pretty decent.
