The film seemed to struggle what type of movie it wants to be from comedy, action or very much taking itself serious. The performance of venom is great definitely one of the most entertaining thing in the film, like most films there's the start the middle and then end and it felt like the middle was shortened down or even skipped over.

Venom and eddies bond was very much glossed over and rushed, background story to venom is blah then eddies story arc is here, there and everywhere then all of a sudden no where and there it is again.

Does a marvel/sony non spiderman world work um.... in a way yes and this film proved it but without Spider-Man there is no point in venom. I give it a 4 out of 10
