The dialogue... lord help me the dialogue. It was utterly dreadful. I don't think a single sentence came out of character's mouth that was good. It was a script of cliché, bad humour, awful plot points, bland characters. So disappointing.

I never really rated the CG in the first film, I think the Venom character looked cool but didn't quite fit too well with live action. When you add in Carnage as well it was all a bit too CG heavy.

The plot was meh. I can see what they were trying to do and it wasn't bad, but was instantly forgettable. Woody Harrelson (who is a terrific actor) was quite bad in this and his villain was a bit tired and bland.

In terms of action it was a bit thin on the ground and the final big fight scene was fine I guess. Again not bad but instantly forgettable.

What more can I say really. The character of Venom is so cool and there is so much potential, but they are just not getting these films right at all.

4/10 as it was just about entertaining enough, and if nothing else it was blissfully short.
