While not as cynically charismatic, witty, or humorous as Deadpool, there&rsquo;s an enjoyable, dark, ruggedness to Venom that&rsquo;s granted him &ldquo;cinematic clout&rdquo; &ndash; and that&rsquo;s part of the fun!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Whether you love the first flick or not, most folks I know watched for one reason: Tom Hardy! As one of Hollywood&rsquo;s most appealing actors, he&rsquo;s the lifeline of this new franchise. Would it have worked with anyone else? Who knows! The first attempt at Venom in Spider-Man 3 (&rsquo;07) played by Topher Grace was a complete flatline. Much excitement for the character as news broke prior to the release, but&hellip; only to have its alien symbiotic goo drip through the cracks of an overly ambitious film.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Now, modern-day-movie Venom&hellip;? Although I&rsquo;d love to see more of what I used to read as a kid, but I&rsquo;m OK with what&rsquo;s been presented. Kinda silly but solidifies his ground. He&rsquo;s already made his mark -- and I, for one, am enjoying all its formulaic crime-fighting, bad jokes, and nonstop wide shots of the Golden Gate Bridge. (Hey, comic book characters aren&rsquo;t only from NYC!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;In 2018, the first flick gave us a convoluted origin story, with Riz Ahmed as Venom&rsquo;s antagonist. It was decent and set the pace with an additional post credit scene introducing Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) pretty much fantasizing about a world full of carnage. Fast forward to 2021, now that carnage embraced by Cletus Kasady has come to fruition, as Eddie Brock (Hardy) finds himself entangled in a triangle web of relationship struggles between the alien symbiote and ex-girlfriend, Anne (Michelle Williams), while also trying to maintain some balance as an investigative reporter. But of course, all goes to Hell in a handbasket once Carnage ensues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;The best thing about this sequel is it gives you exactly what it promotes. It doesn&rsquo;t waste any time and gets right into it, with an eerie soundtrack and set-up at a mental institution that lays the building blocks for LET THERE BE CARNARGE. Character development is rushed, but informs you who&rsquo;s who, what&rsquo;s what, and a method to a madness. One that links Kasady to Shriek (Naomi Harris). But as twists and turns hit, I think like most villains&hellip; there&rsquo;s a level of sympathy you work up; however, spitefulness always points in the wrong direction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Parallel to this we have Brock/Venom and Anne in a triangle of complexities that causes a bit of negligence on what&rsquo;s simmering from afar. In short, soap opera drama. All I&rsquo;s are dotted, T&rsquo;s are crossed, but it doesn&rsquo;t fall short from effecting Carnage&rsquo;s appearance. Like all other formulaic comic book stories, there&rsquo;s questioning, doubt, confusion, and courage to take on destruction that&rsquo;s always on a massive scale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Silly, loud, and violent, but entertaining, nonetheless! While both Venom and Carnage come off a bit more menacing in the comics, I enjoyed their tango. Thankfully, Carnage&rsquo;s blood red outfit stood out; otherwise, it would have been a bit difficult to tell who&rsquo;s who during their throwdown. Honestly, that&rsquo;s pretty much the payoff in this flick. Therefore, I conclude, detach your brain and let this story take you away. Don&rsquo;t resist. The script is a bit of a slow burn at first as it seesaws between characters, but it&rsquo;s charming to see Harrelson play a villain. I mean, this guy has &lt;em&gt;it-factor&lt;/em&gt; that engages and gives life to any character he&rsquo;s playing. Is Kasady/Carnage his best? No, but fun, in a &ldquo;Ok, whatever&rdquo; kinda way. The same can be said for supporters, as well as a scruffy Tom Hardy just going with the motions. At a run a bit over an hour, LET THERE BE CARNAGE will have a split reaction. If you enjoyed or disliked the first, you&rsquo;ll enjoy or dislike this one, too. Not sure how this franchise will serve in any tie-ins, but if you stick around for its post-credit scene, you&rsquo;ll see where it&rsquo;s going. Love it or hate it, Venom &ndash; as a franchise &ndash; is here to stay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;__________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Genre:&lt;/strong&gt; Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi / &lt;strong&gt;Rated:&lt;/strong&gt; PG-13 / &lt;strong&gt;Run Time:&lt;/strong&gt; 1:37&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Starring:&lt;/strong&gt; Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris, Woody Harrelson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Directed by Andy Serkis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;h4 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;&quot;&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: #ff0000;&quot; href=&quot;https://www.venom.movie/?j=574513&amp;amp;sfmc_sub=119143031&amp;amp;l=29_HTML&amp;amp;u=20118032&amp;amp;mid=6403986&amp;amp;jb=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;\n&lt;h4 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In Theaters October 1st&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;\n&lt;h6 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(C) SONY / Marvel 2021&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:image {&quot;id&quot;:72617,&quot;sizeSlug&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;linkDestination&quot;:&quot;none&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.corrientelatina.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Venom-Tom-Hardy-Poster.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-72617&quot;/&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;\n&lt;!-- /wp:image --&gt;\n\n&lt;!-- wp:image {&quot;id&quot;:72618,&quot;sizeSlug&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;linkDestination&quot;:&quot;none&quot;} --&gt;\n&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.corrientelatina.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Venom-Woody-Harrelson-Poster.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-72618&quot;/&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;\n&lt;!-- /wp:image --&gt;"
