Venom (2018): Movie Review

 Great action, Funny (unintentionally)

                                                    


                   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

            Sujit K Reddy Review"

          Good: Tom Hardy played Venom well
          Bad:Carnage reveal in the post credit scene was not satisfying
         Ugly:How Eddie Brock gets to be Venom was underwhelming

     Movie Plot:

Journalist Eddie Brock is trying to take down Carlton Drake, the notorious and brilliant founder of the Life Foundation.

While investigating one of Drake's experiments, Eddie's body merges with the alien Venom -- leaving him with superhuman strength and power.

Twisted, dark and fueled by rage, Venom tries to control the new and dangerous abilities that Eddie finds so intoxicating.

The Predator (2018) Movie Review (Toronto International Film Festival 2018)

    
                                                                      


                   Jim Pagiamtzis Review
      
               Predator is back with new mission!   Shane Black directs this recent Predator movie, he appeared in the first film in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fast forward to 2018 and the new beast has a more covert mission to complete.

              (Boyd Holbrook) Quinn has an epic battle with predator he is thrust in the action very quickly with his son Rory (Jacob Tremblay). Quinn teams up with unlikely group of military rejects to deal with alien species. Throughout the film there lots of comedic moments that get little overdone as the movie evolves.

                 (Olivia Munn)Casey Bracket plays the scientist brought in to evaluate the alien species and what they are really here to do.

               As the two plots connect the hunt begins that story begins to make sense. There are couple of new alien dogs that come from the ride and don't make any real impact on the film, even a real dog is used badly.

            As it nears the climatic end the real reason is revealed which opens up new saga for the future!

              Rating 7 out of 10 stars
