I'll start from afar. I am a huge fan of the Spider-Man universe. This is my favorite comic book character. And I am a huge skeptic of the new film universe of this hero. And if it's about the Spider itself and its not the best pictures (it's about Holland) I can talk for a long time, and it's worth leaving it until solo, we'll only touch on Venom here.

One of the most iconic villains of Spider-Man. And now for the second film, not the best things are being done with him. I was cool with the first picture, but accepted it as a given. And here comes the sequel. Which turns out to be even worse. So the authors decided to move away from the gloom and cruelty of the character, changed his background, made the plot comical. And it would be fine if it worked correctly. In the first film there were some attempts through the duo of Brock and Venom. But now even this does not catch on.

The picture has become shorter in timing. This helped the plot not to sink. But now they don't reveal anything to us at all. The picture is empty and just jumps through the events. We don't see any development. In fact, the film is some kind of filler. The characters are standing still. The conflicts have not changed since the first part. And the second time to look at the same thing, albeit in a slightly different wrapper, is not interesting. The problems of the heroes are sucked out of the finger.

Two new characters do not give the film novelty. Yes, Woody Harrelson is charismatic, but this is not enough, and there is not much of him in the film. Squeal is a completely empty villain. Well, Carnage. You really expect something powerful from such a character. And you get a zilch.

Humor is not bad in places, but only in places. The battles of the symbiotes have become more watchable. The relationship between Brock and Venom is still interesting to watch. But there's nothing else catchy about the movie. When the scene after the credits looks more interesting than the movie, it means something is wrong. And looking at her, I feel that it won't get any better.
