Never wanted to watch it but decided to do it anyway cuz the second one might be good and they'd connect it to MCU.

But the movie is really bad, the name of the movie is Venom but it takes 1 hour till we see Venom. And don't think that anything good happens in that 1 hours, oh no, not even a shred of characterization.

Action scenes are decent and Venom's design is cool and all, but that's the only thing I can say about this movie, there's no substance or a good plot here, and the writing is abhorrent.

The villain is most generic thing you can imagine with the worst and most laughable dialogue ever.

This movie could've been a great antihero movie with some gore and violence but Eddy and Venom just joke and fool around.

This had the potential to be a breath of fresh air in the midst of all these Marvel and DC movies with good guys as protagonists who always joke and are light-hearted, and become something like Deadpool 2016, or what The Punisher was. But no! You HAVE TO make your protagonist a "good guy" even though he has a hungry man-eating symbiote inside him. You have to make him a "fun" character by making him joke with Venom all the time, because that's what makes the kids buy our toys apparently, because god forbid if we made our protagonist an anti-hero for once and not cringeworthingly copying Spider-Man.

What's the difference between this movie's Venom and Spider-Man again? Ah yeah, that's right, he occasionally eats heads of people off-screen.

Venom also says that he knows everything Eddy knows cuz he's in his head and body, which makes sense, but literally asks who Anny is the next scene. What?

Character motivations are really confusing and dumb, Venom tells Eddy to get ready for his world to be dominated by symbiotes and then in the next scene he has a change of heart and is a good little symbiote boi just like that, and he says that Eddy changed him. Can someone tell what exactly Eddy did that made Venom not want to eat people anymore and become a good guy all of a sudden? Yeah, you can't.

Even at the end of the movie I didn't care about any of the characters as the characterization and character development is abysmal in this movie.

It's been for how long these companies have been making movies? And they still don't care about hiring good writers? You're paying 100 million for the movie and not for once it occurs to you that maybe it's not a bad idea to invest in good writing instead of just CGI monsters fighting each other?
