The major problem with the original Venom film was that it was too long and seemed to drag on at many points. Also they tried doing a little too much and the humor was more forced and ultimately did not work. In this sequel, the film was very short and everything happens pretty quickly. It doesn't stall and has a quick build up to the finale battle.

Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock is great again and here we see more of the chemistry and friendship with him and Venom. The back and forth and bickering is some of the highlights as the voice and overall mannerisms of Venom shine. Woody Harrelson is solid enough as Carnage and the back story works.

Let there be Carnage is quite easily better than the original yet for some reason it has a lesser IMDB rating (5.9 to 6.6). Do not understand much of the backlash received from the fans for this film, it is entertaining, humorous and straight forward. Although somewhat of a predictable storyline where certain parts feel rehashed from other comic films. However people seemed to have taken the film a little too serious.
