I loved this movie. I found the theme of the film appropriate: this series of events should be understood as a "What If", since the symbiote did not meet Spiderman, and in the comic I remember that initially the symbiote had developed a similar affection for its first host and and it was the double detachment (seen by the symbiote as treason) to generate the hatred that would have distinguished Venom.

Since there is no catalyst for this hatred, this unfolding of events seemed consistent to me.

I really enjoyed Hardy's performance, which throughout the film makes me see a character created in CGI as real, Harrelson also liked me a lot as Cassidy / Carnage, a little + down Naomi Harris but still valid.

I conclude by saying that I found the film well balanced between humor (which in my opinion is plausible with this "alternative" Venom), action and violence. Tomorrow I'm going to see him again.
