Within the first 5 minutes I was getting antsy. There was a certain charm in the original (which I liked) when Venom turned out to not only be polite and charming in his own way but became Eddie's life coach as well, a nice and unexpected twist.

Here we get rather unfunny banter and lame slapstick that was neither engaging or clever. The original characters from the original now came off more like paper cutouts than real people. The overly messy and extended effects did nothing to enhance the experience.

Oh well.
