Simply one of the worst - uh - "films" I've ever seen. I had my doubts that they could make a decent film out of this particular character, but I didn't think it could be quite this horrible. The tone is all over the place, with attempted jokes in the face of head-eating and mass murder, none of which appears to leave any impression on the characters, who act as if everything is a minor inconvenience to be shrugged off with a smile and a bit of shoddy wit. The "motives" of the characters (including Venom) are so vague they might as well be considered a form of arcane mysticism. Tom Hardy is an intelligent performer: I am sure he knows that this was strictly "get paid and get out" territory. The ethical landscape of the film is a disaster site, with a cool hipness being displayed between scenes of rampaging violence on a mass scale, and no lasting emotional scars on any of the participants. No consequences but for one death, and a lot of innocents slaughtered to no apparent end. The art direction is poor also, with everything in a splash of light blue. Difficult to watch and really emblematic of the general degradation of American cinema since the 70s. A vacuous exercise in mindless action and lack of human psychology. Wretched.
