The first half of the movie was strong, then the film loses all sense of direction and purpose. Castings were okay. Pattinson was a mediocre Batman, Serkis was a great Alfred. But, the plot was generic, boring, and drawn out. There is no reason this mess needed to be 3 hours long.

Truly the most awe inspiring film I have ever seen. An absolute masterpiece of science fiction that will be regarded as one of the greatest movies of all time.

It's always fun to meet new characters in a Hollywood world riddled with remakes and sequels. This movie is simply brilliant, with fantastic performances from JK Simmons, Anna Kendrick, and Ben Affleck. Great story, great plot twists, and great characters. Highly recommend.

Definitely an improvement on the first installment. The Eddie-Venom humor is spectacular in this one. Once again, great VFX. If you appreciate the campier super hero movies and enjoyed the buddy-comedy style from the first movie, you'll enjoy this. If you're expecting something more inline with the MCU's style, this one likely isn't for you.

One thing is for certain - Venom LOOKS fantastic. The VFX are phenomenal. Tom Hardy plays both characters very well and it's good for a few cheap laughs. That's about all, though.
