This movie was beyond awful. The characters are so bland and devoid of charm or charisma. There is constant humor that isn't remotely funny or witty. Venom has these supposedly witty remarks throughout the movie that are more obnoxious than amusing. I don't know if that's how it is in the comics, but here at least they're more unwelcome than anything else. The actors have no chemistry at all Woody Harrelson as a Spider-Man villain is laughable at best and Tom Hardy is boring as fe.ck. He has like no personality compared to even Topher Grace who actually is a step up in Spider-Man 3, believe it or not. The story is completely unengaging and the viewer doesn't give a crap about the character's relationships. The action is terrible and the CGI is unbearably bad. It's so blatant that it's like you're being slapped in the face with the laziness of the makers of the movie. Might have been less awful if they'd at least gone with some practical effects, but it still wouldn't save this catastrophe. Tom Hardy co-wrote the story apparently, and he definitely should stay away from writing in the future. In the end, you're left with wishing that Spider-Man would show up and put all these retarded freaks out of their misery.
