This movie wasn't AWFUL. But I wouldn't say it's Marvel's best. I'm not very educated in the history of the character's and whatnot. So this is all coming from my knowledge from the movies and such. I will start with the positives, because that's fun! I thought that the fight scenes were well choreographed, for the most part. I thought that Tom Hardy as Eddie could have been better performed, he could have been great if it weren't for some of his stylistic choices (or it might have been the director, I don't know!) And here' s where I start the negatives... I didn't think it was very "entertaining" how Tom portrayed Eddie. He was very casual and upbeat but it a way that was way too cheesy and would be seen as bad acting. Sometimes that's ok, but only if it's in the right context and environment (that's when it can turn into good comedy, which this clearly was not!). Eddie's strange character was put into situations were the people around him didn't react or play off his attitudes, that made it so that I would feel uncomfortable watching it instead of the characters around him feeling uncomfortable, which something that can be easily achieved if you write good character interactions! I did not feel a single thing for any of the characters because there wasn't enough content or information that showed how each of these people are with each other. One scene (or multiple even) with cheesy and awful dialogue won't cut it so I can feel something for them. The simple rule of "Show, Don't Tell" clearly lacks in a lot of scenes. I can't believe that two characters love each other just because they say it, you need to put in some steaks to a simple feeling or emotions so the audience can see! But you know, opinions are subjective. If you enjoyed this, good for you. But I do think it is unfair to label this movie anything higher than an 8 and anything lower than a 5. Sometimes opinions stop us from really seeing that true quality of a movie. I did not enjoy Venom. I will not be seeing it again. But I will give credit where credit is due. This movie was good enough to deserve a hard earned 6!
