Its plot is generic. Every time an action scene begins I want it to end just cause how boring and repetitive it is. Characters are pretty mediocre, love interest is boring and unnecessary. Villain is basic and has been done better on many other movies. Motive of the villain and hero is very typical. Only good parts we're some of the banter between Hardy and Venom, a lot of the jokes come off as cringe-inducing, and some of Hardy's acting. Use of actors like Riz Ahmed were underutilized. Soundtrack is average but somewhat helped the movie during suspenseful moments. Very tame violence, you might not even notice someone dying throughout the movie.

Overall, unimpressive and quite predictable. Could have been done much more better. I don't want to call it a flop or a bad movie, but it just didn't try hard enough to be a good film.
