Given its relatively shorter run time, the film felt inadequate. The banter between venom and Tom Hardy, his relationship struggles, and action sequences were for the most part, lackluster. While there were decent scenes, they are still nothing to write about, especially when compared to Marvel productions. In a way, it felt like a really long trailer for the show. Still, despite its flaws, if you can forgive these flaws, you'll still have a decent time watching it.
