First off the pros of the movie Eddie and venom's banter is highly entertaining the cgi isn't ugly like the first movie and even though they use a lot of whip shots the fights are easy to follow another huge plus is casting woody as carnage which he plays the part perfectly and it's always a treat when Andy serkis is involved with a project and I think he does a really good job behind the camera now the cons unfortunately it repeats some of the sins of the first movie having a villain that doesn't get enough screen time for us to feel the tension build up and this might be due to the incredible short run time the movie also feels kinda of cluster phobic I feel like we don't get to emerge ourselves in Eddie Brock's world similar to a tv show we only see like 3 locations but my biggest gripe is the same gripe I had with Zombieland 2 it's not necessarily a bad sequel but a pointless one it basically retells the same story as the first without taking any chances or adding anything new to the story i think most people forgave the first film for a lot of its mistakes because we were finally seeing a mostly comic book accurate venom on the big screen but unfortunately the nostalgic goggles have already worn off in time for the sequel also I think carnage is a type of character that doesn't need any justification for why he acts the way he does there is a small line towards the end that felt like what rob zombie tried to do with Michael Myers in his remake I went back and fourth between giving this movie a six or seven but I think a seven is a fair rating.
