I was surprised at how much I ended up enjoying "Venom" from 2018 and the same could be said about this film as well. Not the greatest piece of cinema in the world, it was never trying to be genre defining or anything like that, just a damn good time. This is just a really good, fun, exciting time at the cinema.....shove a huge handful of popcorn in your mouth and enjoy the ride!!

I will admit I was a little hesitant about a sequel to "Venom", it could go either one of two ways. One, be a warranted sequel that expands the story/world or Two, just be a cash cow!! Thankfully in this case "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" is most definitely the first scenario..........well ok maybe a little bit of both haha.

Tom Hardy (Eddie) and the relationship he has with Venom is once again the main attraction of the film. It is written so so well, fantastic comedic elements that actually have you laughing aloud. (Which sadly even some comedies actually struggle to do). Picks up right from where we left off with them having banter and arguments together is simply brilliant !!

I'd also mention that Michelle Williams and Tom Hardy have a great chemistry on screen. Their story in the first film felt so believable because of this and once again they thrive of one another performances.

Directing, action, story and CGI are all on a good level and actually feel as if the people behind it really cared about the product.

Sadly though there are a couple of parts that don't work that well for me personally. Firstly Woody Harrelson, just doesn't really suit this film to me. I love the guy I think he is a terrific actor but I'm not sure he was cast correctly in this. His performance isn't awful or distracting, its just I feel someone else could have fitted it better. That also goes for Naomie Harris, it just doesn't seem to fit to me. Again she wasn't awful or bad, I just didn't think she was best suited to this. Neither of these complaints are really really negative, just a bit of a nitpick.

Overall this film did exactly what I wanted it to do. Don't trash all the good work that was set up in the first film and actually try and expand the story/world of the film. 65% out of 100 its a average/good film just like the first one. Its perfectly fine and does its job, nothing sensational about it but then again it didn't need to be!!!!
