Let There Be Carnage makes no effort to steer in a different direction from its predecessor. It fully embraces the cheesy 90s camp that many loved and derided about the first film. It can be fun, but also feels like we've advanced so much farther in the genre beyond this.

This movie felt like a sprint. It's a quick 90 minutes that moves at lightning pace. Not much time is spent in the way of characterization, especially for Cletus Kasady. The Eddie and Venom bromance takes up most of the runtime, which is wise given that was the highlight of the first film.

The plot is pretty generic and really only feels like it's there to set up the inevitable Venom-Carnage showdown. The fight is good, but man could this movie have really benefited from an R rating. It feels like we got a needlessly neutered version of Carnage.

This movie isn't anything to write home about. The mid credits scene is about the only thing you'd be missing by not watching.
