Very much wanted this movie to be a step up from the, dare I say, "average" first film. However, the first few minutes in and those hopes began to vanish, which would ultimately lead to disappointment. It's a shame because Hardy fits the role of Venom quite good, but the misdirection and tacky storyline of the film make it hard to perceive any positive aspects. That being said, the visual effects kept the movie somewhat watchable as well as there being a surprising end credit scene that may have promise in the future.
