I was very much into Venom back in the old Todd McFarlane days. This Hollywood take on the character was waaay to weak, and I don't think the director did a very good job of bringing Tom Hardy forth as Venom. He made it too goofy, where it should have dark and violent. There is violence, but it's too restricted, and a character like Venom calls for some R-rated gore. I wonder how they will deal with Carnage, as that guy is pure ultraviolence. As for entertainment-factor, I really tried to like it, but found myself bored and looking at the clock a bit too often. A few good ideas, but overall it was just too weak. And don't get me started on that Paw Patrol CGI. Time to step up the game, FX-people of Hollywood!!
