If you have seen the first one then you've mostly seen this one. It's more or less the same with a larger emphasis on being funny and failing pretty miserably at it. These are dark characters, especially carnage, and they NEED a rated R tone. Instead they lean into making it more family friendly oriented so they can get a PG-13 rating and make more money. The design of Carnage was amazing and Woody does a great job as Cassidy but there is very minimal character building with him and especially his pointless girlfriend/wife(?) that serves no real purpose other than being able to Make sounds that bother the symbiotes. This seems like a movie that should have went straight to streaming just like the first venom did.
