This would have been a hit in the early 1990s when Todd McFarlane's artwork opened up a whole new line of making comics. But what does it even mean today? Carnage and Venom fighting off... So?

I can't say I hated the whole experience, but I had difficulty believing this was the best story they could come up with for the sequel. Woddy Harrelson is there to revive the good old days of Natural Born Killers, right? Has it worked out as intended?

The few minutes showing us in stylish inky cartoons the childhood murders of the villain are the most notable part of this movie. Anything else is either unoriginal or late to the party or both.

Michelle Willaims not dying off like Mary Jane is a fine detail, so is the bond between Venom and Eddie, but that's it.

We had to have been impressed in a way we weren't before. That just didn't happen.
