I enjoyed the first Venom movie. Not the best superhero movie out there but it was entertaining, so I was looking forward to seeing this one. Unfortunately this movie comes nowhere close to the first Venom in terms of quality. The jokes are so juvenile it's cringey, the storyline is muddled and too fast paced (it's only an hour and a half,) and and the villain is completely underwhelming. Carnage is an iconic character in the comics and this movie makes a fool out of him. The character known for brutal murders and unrelenting hatred creates a tornado by spinning around really fast and hacks government files by sticking his tendrils in a computer. It's a total joke and poor writing. On top of that, there is virtually no Venom action in this movie until the final half hour. As a sequel, we should have gotten at least a halfway decent movie, but the writers leaned too hard into jokes and the script could have been written by anyone. It's generic at best and a cringey nonsensical dumpster fire at worst.
