---

I'm gonna have to watch it .. Carnage is coming.. do you know how long Spider-Man movie goers have waited for Kasady?

And Woody Harrelson? Perfect.

Yeah the back half makes it worth it. Did you see the after credits scene? They have changed Woody's hair for the sequel, so savour the moment.

It is almost a good movie but not really very much and it feels like they made it for 11 year olds

Im hoping the sequel is more for like 19 year olds. They still like stupid shit but theyre like annoyingly pretentious too.

---

i wouldn't say it's almost a good movie at all.

it's almost a decent movie. by all accounts it's a bad movie

but i was still entertained so it served its purpose

now where's lihlih to come in and scream at me that i don't understand cinematography

Isn't "Venom" a comic book code era metaphor for drug use and how it's difficult to quit, with later Venom and Carnage representing the lonely user and the violent Scarface user?

sort of my thoughts too. I can't call it a good movie, but it was definitely an entertaining movie and I love Venom and have been waiting for him to be done well onscreen since Raimi Spider-man 1.

It was aggressively mediocre and relied too heavily on already-tired superhero movie tropes.

Although I didn't really enjoy it, there were a few neat effects and I kinda want to see the sequel.

they come from space

Is this referring to the first Tom Hardy one or the sequel? (Unsure if it's out yet)

I essentially watched only the highlights of the first one on some YouTube channel, got through the whole thing in like 20 mins. Enjoyed it

Venom originated in the 80s, long after the comics code to my knowledge.

As a kid, I always imagined Venom as this kind of silly, only half threatening villain. Like, Spider-Man is a goofball, so in my kid brain Venom would be this malevolent goofball. This was largely influenced by his portrayal in a spiderman video game I had. I was really surprised when I got older and familiarized myself with his comics and hes treated as this super serious evil creature that eats people.

I like how the film seems to portray him as more of a silly alien creature. I'd kind of prefer if he didn't eat people though.

I liked it well enough.

---

I liked it. I was expecting it to be pretty bad, but ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would.

They did make Venom goofy in the 2000 game (and some of the 90s comics when he first became an antihero)

i just watched the venom 2 trailer

man i am psyched now
