I am a huge Marvel comics fan and am quite familiar with Venom's origin and involvement in the comics. The first movie was a pleasant surprise to me as the special effects were great and the story was better than expected. I had high hopes for the sequel when Carnage was announced as Venom's nemesis.

First, the good...special effects are still great and there are a few good fights scenes. Carnage looks awesome and that was worth the price of admission if you're a fan.

The bad...half of the movie focuses on the nonsense of the antagonistic relationship between Brock and Venom. It's like a soap opera we never asked for. These squabbles and storyline were completely unnecessary. This also diminishes the terror and intimidation factor of Venom. Never in the comic did Venom make Brock eggs and bacon in the morning while telling bad jokes. Eating chickens instead of people? Oh C'mon. Maybe they had no plot and this was the best they could do. Regardless, I'm disappointed in how they portrayed Venom in this movie.

For Marvel fans, check it out for the special effects and mid-credits scene. However, you'll leave the movie feeling betrayed.
