I thought it was...kinda meh.
It had the potential to be pretty damn good, but fell well short of that mark.
It should’ve been rated R, & been much more dark in terms of brutality.
Venom the symbiote was actually pretty dope. The problem was he doesn’t fully become venom until like an hour+ into the movie.
Eddie Brock’s character was a fucking mess. Tom Hardy agreed because he apparently walked off the set one day complaining how shitty the script was. He had several lines that were just kinda weird, & had me shaking my head like...what...?
Then there’s the antagonists. You have Riot the symbiote, & the “bad” guy who becomes riot. Riot, just like Venom, was pretty cool, however he has even less screen time then Venom. Way less. Then you have the human antagonist, who was pretty much a train wreck. He was not a convincing “bad guy” in any capacity. That actor has done a decent job in other movies, however this wasn’t the one.
Anytime Venom was either talking in Eddie’s head, or actually transforms & does shit...was dope. He had some pretty funny lines as well. Other than that....meh.
