Similar to and as enjoyable as the first entry. It still kinda has that retro 80's-90's hero-film-vibe. They even kinda poke-fun/nod toward fan reception of this (regarding the first film). There's not much drag; the plot struts along rather fluidly. It's fast paced; You don't really have to pay attention to know what's going on. It just romps along.

Woody pops up as Carnage pretty quickly and boy do they nail his character. The way he moves on screen is a real treat; the cgi did not disappoint. Screech or shriek.. shrek...eh? Yeah, eh. She was fun... but they probably could have fleshed her character out a lil' more. She seems only to exist in order for Woody to obsess over.. and vise versa? Not a huge problem.. but there just wasn't much depth there. Conversely, Eddy and Venoms relationship felt as traumatic.. but it was layered.. and that was fun. Their lil' breakup about midway through felt a lil' forced. But yeah.. same problem as Woody and shrek.. plot device. Eh, shrugs.

The comedy spritzed throughout was so much fun. Venom's personality just takes over. There's a bunch of silly lil' quotable quatables. Good stuff.

As everyone else has echoed... the post credit scene filled me with gleeeee. Big part of that glee comes from the fact that i realllly enjoy Venom's character & wanna see more.. this movie does a good job of making the "Lethal Protector" into a fan favorite.
