Jim Pagiamtzis Review:
Little history first. Venom first made his appearance in Spiderman 3 (2007) as Topher Grace took on the role and did his best to portray the arch enemy of Spiderman. The movie was panned by critics as being way to dramatic and having to many characters.
Fast forward to 2018 and Venom has is own spinoff being portrayed by Tom Hardy this time who has a resume of playing evil characters Bane 2012 in The Dark Knight Rises, Mad Max Fury Road (2015) and Inception (2010)
This time they got it right. The symbiote come from space and crash on earth. They are few more of them this time and two stories take some time to cross paths which makes the film drag at times.
Tom Hardy fits right in playing Eddie Brock and in no time gets in the middle of the action as he investigates Life Foundation which owner Carlton Drake is doing experiments on the homeless.
Eventually Eddie Brocks gets introduced into Venom and this where things should get scary but doesn't. It turns out to be a hilarious funny how Eddie Brock and Venom conversations are funny!
It does get serious in the third act as Venom does give in to save the world and they work together to defeat the evil counterpart.
In post credit scene Woody Harrelson is revealed as Carnage setting up for the impedning sequel.
Rating 8 out 10
