There seems to be a huge divide between critics and audiences about this movie, and while I don't think it's a bad as critics say, I wouldn't say that it was good. Tom Hardy did the best he can in this movie, and I would say he did a pretty good job, and brought charm to this film, and his relationship between Venom was also pretty nice.

But the rest of the film doesn't fare so well. The first 15 minutes are extremely rushed, and the first part is crucial to the to first act. The first act of the film feels like 50 minutes, the 2nd act feels like 15 minutes, and the 3rd act feels like 20. The movie overall feels disjointed, and it feels as if over an hour of the film had been cut out. The other characters, besides Venom and Eddie, are extremely bland and uninteresting. The actors did the best they could, but they couldn't make up for their poorly-written roles.

Venom does have a good lead character, and delivers a little charm, but is overall a slog of a movie. The pacing is very off, and the other characters are as bland as they get. This film might be for some people, but not me.
