CGI was AWESOME. Venom was awesome every single second he was on screen.

Other than that, the movie is quite terrible. It just doesn't commit to a style and, in my opinion, suffers for it.

Starts Sci-fi, then its typical origin comic book, then action-comedy with dark touches, then...

The humor, which is mostly dumb, mixed with dark jokes and some visual absurdism doesn't sound bad per se, but the reality is that they just don't nail a good enough amount of the jokes and Hardy's interpretation serves well some kind of jokes (when he is talking to Venom) and literally nothing else in the movie. Eddie Brooks is a just weird character.

Human characters: A realistic portrait of a relationship starts with Hardy's Brook character and his girlfriend. But after the first act, its just silly and all over the place. A philosophical villain didn't mantain the tone. At times he was a bigger than life thinker and crazy scientist, and at other times he was a typical sutarday cartoon villain.

The action is good, not great. It takes waaaaay too much time for fun things to start to happen.

It seems the first act was writen by somebody, then the middle part for another one, and ANOTHER one had to wrap the story and the arcs of the characters (and failed).

Honestly. Its a dissapointment.

Having said that: I don't think "I wasted my money", because its enjoyable and I want more. This one had a low budget and it was a bet. I'll support Sony. I want more.
