Didn't watch the first but I can assume it was better just by watching this one, the only two things I liked were Tom Hardy who usually carry a movie or series by himself no matter what and the soundtracks top class, other than that lots of cringe dialog, boring events except the ending was intense but chaotic cliches, I've seen how this movie was identical to comics in terms of Carnage but still they've could done it better to really makes him something we fear or cheer since they are doing a whole movie for him anyway only to show little bit, the after credit scene is the best thing overall.
