I personally loved this piece, a lot of the reviews seem to attempt to fit the film into a framework of realism and therefore into a framework of both common sense and actuality. For the love of deep fried cheese, it is a film about an ALIEN symbiote that has been around for millennia living within a human host on planet earth. If you do not in fact see where i am going with this, well, maybe either stop reading or quickly cultivate a sense of fantastical wonder. It, for me, was a rollicking good entertaining way to spend an hour and forty minutes that i would happily go back and watch again. For the record, i am not a massive fan of comic book movie adaptations, but i did enjoy this joint. I found the effects to be spot on, i also thought the dialogue, especially between Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and the alien symbiote Venom was often times hilarious, i sometimes talk to myself in a similar way except i do not harbour an alien symbiote (Joking!!!) The action sequences were spectacular and i thought the story moved and advanced briskly enough almost to the point where it could be possible that someone unfamiliar with the character and/or someone that had not seen the first film would soon get up to speed with the narrative.

For me, it is this simple, suspend your disbelief then sit back and enjoy the ride.

Oh and do not attempt to apply and form of science or non-Hollywood logic to proceedings, otherwise it all falls apart. Ten out of ten for me.
