I wasn't impressed with the first installment, it was an odd experience, it was neither a villain nor a anti-hero story it was a blend of both, generic plot, weird acting (although I am a fan of Tom Hardy) an overall bad story, and this sequel takes the bad to another level.

To be honest I didn't expect much improvement on the sequel but it came out worse than I thought, the whole movie is like a terrible B rated film, somehow Tom Hardy as Eddy is even weirder now I would even go as far as saying cringe, and once again I am his fan in many other works he has been making I don't understand his choice to be a part of this movie.

The side actors are generic secondary characters and your avergae joe seems to be completly fine with the freak show, the plot is so predictable and boring and somehow they are trying to make this an anti-hero type of flick yet its not clear how Venom is suppose to be a villain here, it just doesn't make sense, same os on the Suicide Squad they tried miserably to make villains heroes or at least grey area anti-heroes but they didn't do this right, like for example what we see in Joker and his down descent to madenss.

The relationship between Venom and Eddie is terrible and strange, the best part (small spoiler!!!) is when he gets out of Eddie's life, I was rooting for that to be permanent.. It's a mix of "super hero" movie disguised with some Scary Movie vibes with some A list actors to grab the audience... I really hope they don't make this a part of the multiverse

Honestly I don't see what was the main goal of these movies, it's clear this is a seperate project from the current Marvel Studios projects.
