When a shuttle crash lands into Malaysia that had harvested alien life forms for Carlton Drake’s (Riz Ahmed) company to be used eventually on humans, our unsuspecting hero, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) a journalist stumbles upon this truth and upon attempting to expose this inhumane act to the world, he inadvertently gets exposed to the alien entity that latches onto him and they become Venom - a super powered creature that can mutate its physical form into any form or shape it desires along with super strength and stamina. The movie starts off shaky at first with the acting a bit scattered, especially from Michelle Williams (very uncharacteristic as she’s normally so solid) who plays Eddie’s girlfriend but after the 30 minute mark, when the story begins to settle, everything starts to improve astronomically especially the acting from the cast and the story gets really fun and exciting. Great chase scene along downtown San Francisco that was visually spectacular and imaginative showcasing the beauty of the City at night time. Definitely the highlight of the film! As this movie is part of the Marvel Universe, I feel like it could work as a stand alone film as it didn’t require one to know anything about the M.U. Overall, it’s a fun adventure romp with goofy elements and another winner due in large part to Tom Hardy’s acting chops.

This is Marvel's Aquaman. Sony clearly just said "Fuck it!" and decided to just have fun and make the most ridiculous movie possible. The writing is atrocious, the story is poorly paced, and the effects are awful. Had they not gone for a PG-13 and embraced a hard R, watching Venom bite people's heads off could be beautiful, gory fun but instead all of the action feels muted and it kind of goes against what the tell us the Venom symbiote is. All of the actors are trying and they seem to be having a blast, but no one is putting in 100%. Tom Hardy adopts a very odd speech pattern for no reason and it gets very distracting. Venom isn't trying to be Logan or Ragnarok, but I can't even say it's a fun "popcorn movie". Venom is coherent, but it's not particularly fun. All of this is putting aside how sad a Venom movie is when it's wholy detached from Spider-Man. They have to force Venom into a hero role and it just doesn't work and I'm especially concerned about where a sequel will go, given the mid-credits scene.
