This is well beneath the talent of Tom Hardy, but he must have been well paid to do it.

The script is terrible, the story is clunky and nonsensical, it lurches from here to there and offers little or no development along the way.

Venom as a character begins as a threatening coercive parasite - but ends up as a comedy live in character, the change happens like the throw of a light switch somewhere in the middle.

Female lead is as forgettable as her two dimensional character.

The villain is just short of rubbing his hands together and laughing sadistically.

The whole thing hangs together like it was written by a ten year old before a Hollywood committee worked it over.

Very poor.
