For me personally, venom needs Spider-Man. It's what the fans want to see but not the Spider-Man 3 version. This film just dribbled on and didn't know if it wanted to be sex and the city or the fly, a good guy or a bad guy. The bike chase provided a little bit of a thrill but not that memorable. The big fight at the end just happened there wasn't any wow factor or shock value. It was like...."and then he was dead". I'm pleased I watched It at the cinema because if I watched it at home I would of been playing on my phone out of boredom. On the plus side odeon nachos were as good as ever, a spicy delight. If the next film gets the green light more comedy that's actually funny and maybe more action with less of a big guy to fight.
