I have to be honest, I watched this knowing nothing about the Marvel superhero called Venom but reading that this movie was dark in nature I looked forward to it. It started off promising enough, Tom Hardy as down on his luck journalist Eddie Brock giving a good performance. Once the alien Venom has become part of him, however, is when the film starts to go downhill. In a scene with Brock a silly but failing to be scary voice from nowhere says "HUNGRY!!" I'm like "what the...!?" From this point on we get Venom with his annoying voice talking with Eddie, much of the time trying to be comical but failing. So Venom and his voice are what I disliked about this film, otherwise there is plenty of action, stunts and special effects. As a simple popcorn movie it ticks the boxes. During the end credits there is a short animated Spiderman sequence, did nothing for me but I'm sure Marvel fans will enjoy.
