Venom: Let There Be Carnage is the sequel to Venom. The film is directed by Andy Serkis, the director of Breath and Mowgli.

In the film, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) still lives in the same body with symbiote Venom. Eddie tries to revive his journalism career by interviewing serial killer Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) in order to find more clues about the murders he is suspected of. When Kasady attacks him, he also gets a symbiote called Carnage and knows break out of jail and cause mayhem, Eddie and Venom must now make up their differences and stop Carnage.

After the first Venom movie, this sequel is making a movie that fans have been waiting for, as they now use the character Carnage. Director Andy Serkis has experience in conveying characters with multiple personalities in the same body, having become famous for playing the character Gollum in The Lord of the Rings film series.

Because of his position as a director, he helps to properly transfer the effects in the film. Because he has looked at most scenes with an eye for detail, the symbiote scenes also come across more believable in this film compared to the first film. He knows how to provide entertaining action scenes. He also helps Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson play their dual roles in the film.

The weakest point of the film is unfortunately the story, because that was largely conceived and written by Kelly Marcel alone. In other films she has worked with others on the film scripts and has independently written the screenplay for Fifty Shades of Grey.

This is reflected in this film. Fortunately, the comic moments come across well, because she got help from Tom Hardy here. The romantic scenes that play a major role in the film appear weaker, so that the viewer doesn't really care about the romantic scenes. The ending is also a bit rushed. Tom Hardy comes across well and believable again in the dual role of Eddie Brock and Venom. The two characters come across as a couple stuck together in the same body and trying to make the best of it even though they don't always agree. Woody Harrelson has been seen by fans as the perfect casting for the role of Cletus Kasady and Carnage since acting in the movie Natural Born Killers. He manages to portray the role in the film in an appropriate and comical way, but he is a bit counteracted by the lesser script. Michelle Williams and Naomie Harris play their roles well in the film, but if they had been given less time in the film, the lead roles would have had more time. This could have made the movie a little better.
