The creative team behind Venom clearly read all the feedback, because this film fixes just about everything that was wrong with the first film and focuses on everything it did well. The comedic chemistry between Eddie and Venom is the core of the film, resembling a romantic drama except they argue about eating human brains and the break-up involves literally infecting other human hosts. Anne, Dan and Mrs. Chen come along for the ride. However, the sequel is still let down by a rather unconvincing serial killer with not much charisma nor backstory. The mutant shrieking woman didn't make much sense in the universe and she was also a rather flat and boring character.
