The first film had a certain charm to its rambunctious nature. Somehow that was lost on this outing. I wanted to love it because the Carnage character is something I've wanted to see on the big screen and also, with Andy Serkis serving as director, that was something I held high hopes for. Sadly, none of this really hit the mark. Everything felt a bit too insincere. Missing intent. Confused. Haphazard. The back and forth between Brock and Venom became annoying quickly here and it just seemed over done. There were a lot of small things like this that just didn't feel right. Carnage himself was terrifying and impressive, but the inbetween parts didn't serve the characterization as much as I'd hoped.

Overall, sadly disappointing.
