Sequels are hard to do. We automatically assume it will be better than the first, and when it's not.. you're left disappointed, even if the movie was a bad movie. This was the case here. The good things I will say is the CGI and the action scenes in the last fight were really good. Hardy did a good job as usual. But I really couldn't get into Woody's character. The biggest complaint is that it felt rushed, no character development, and left me needing more details. In what I believe is one of marvels shortest films... they were not able to tell a good enough story. The comedy was... ehh. A little less funny than the first. The best part about the whole movie was the mid-cred scene... and that's sad. But it does get me excited for the future (not just venoms future!!). FYI I rated the first venom film 8/10.
