Venom: Let There Be Carnage, is the highly anticipated sequel that dwells into chaotic action and introduces a expanded story on the bond between Eddie Brock and Venom.

I will say that this movie is by far a lot more fluid and polished than Venom 1 was, and has a little bit more depth than the first one did. Now that isn't speaking too much volume to the movie itself, because it still suffers the same pacing issues the first one has.

There are some pretty good moments scattered throughout the movie that stick out well and there are some things that probably should've been expanded upon more or had more in-depth coverage of. The action was improved much more compared to its predecessor and it looks great. The villain is awesome, and Woody Harrelson did a fantastic job of portraying Cletus Kassidy. Tom Hardy as usual has done a phenomenal job for both the voice and acting of Venom/Eddie Brock. I noticed complaints about Venom's voice but it wasn't all too different from his first film either.

My main complaints that I found with the film was the lacking in Carnage's motivation/goals and the development overall. There were so much things that didn't stick out well for me with how Carnage was portrayed as a symbiote, and it just had me more so confused- similar to Venom's sudden change for staying on Earth from the first movie. The movie is incredibly fast, and burns through its short runtime giving the audience everything it has upfront. The best way to put it is the first hour of the movie contains the Eddie/Venom relationship, and the last half hour is Venom VS Carnage for the rest. Unfortunately, it just suffers the same pacing/writing issues that the first one has, but because of how chaotic and packed it is, it's much harder to see the poor pacing/writing.

The movie overall is totally for fans of Venom and Carnage, it was never intended to be a down-to-Earth replica of the comic books and it was definitely not meant to be taken seriously, it's a fun movie nevertheless and it engages with the audience with its comedy and action scenes. It's a great time to watch the titular antihero go against his arch nemesis in cinema.

I would recommend anyone to see it if they enjoyed the first Venom, but those that didn't really enjoy the first one probably won't see much of an improvement here other than some small updates made to the fights and relationships. The post credits scene is worth the film alone, but that to me is what takes away from the film in its entirety. The post credits scene is remarkable and probably one of the best post credits scenes we will ever witness, but it takes away the attention from the film itself. Regardless, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a great action film full of mindless absurdity and chaos that will satisfy avid MCU and comic book fans for the vast majority.
