First and foremost, let's just admit Venom is a cool character and has one of the best looks in the superhero genre. However, this film falls short in achieving the full potential of the character. The main issue i have with this film is the poor attempts at humour throughout - if anything i feel it undoes the fear factor of venom and creates a goofy vibe throughout the entire film. The CGI also looks odd throughout and certain action sequences are let down due to this. Tom Hardy is a saving grace for this film and does his best to carry the film's plot and dialogue. Overall, i would argue this might be one to avoid; that being said if you're a fan of the venom character, Hardy and fancy an easy watch then it might be the one for you.
