As a huge fan of the superhero genre I was excited to see venom. The issue with Sony brought my expectations lower, early reviews came in and some were mixed. If you like mindless entertainment then this film is for you, the story itself is weak and unfortunately makes Venom the jokester. It seems like the writers chose to copy Deadpool's style of quippy jokes and they insert it into Venom. There are some moments that are good, example the chemistry that is barely shown between Venom and Eddie Brock shines, it had me engaged. Yet the film quickly reverts to it's terrible jokes, and crappy story. The film shines when it keeps focus on its core character and his struggle, if they kept a serious tone then we would have a good film. If they had a serious tone and better told story this film would be great. Sad to see a terrible comic book related film make its way onto the big screen.
