I just finished Sony’s Venom. An Eddy Brock origin story with no Peter Parker. Do we need a Oppo review of a movie that was in theaters nearly 3 months ago? No but here we are. Plus no one saw this in theaters anyway.
I had a few major problems with the movie from the jump.
1 no Spider-Man
2 this probably means that we will never see a proper Spidey VS Venom movie. And that makes me pretty sad as Venom is one hell of a villain.
Spoilers
I think I liked the movie over all. I loved that they fixed the sim-bi-ote pronunciation and suck with the Marvel sim-be-ote.
I warmed up to Eddy Brock as a character over the course of the movie, and I really like the way Venom talks to him, and the way they talk to each other.
I do HATE that the symbiotes had their own English names. I think their hosts should have named them.
I do like that Vemon is a hero in this story. And I like that Venom chooses to stay with eddy basically just because he thinks Eddy is some one he can hang out with.
The action wasn’t up to MCU par at all. Because it wasn’t MCU. But I think the jokes were. As was the Stan Lee cameo. As for the Post Credits Scene.
Wooden Harilson(i laughed to hard at this type-o to fix it.) is amazing but he should not be playing Carnage. And there won’t be a sequel anyway because this movie did terribly.(it didn’t?)
I think the movie was okay, and worth the rent. But I’m glad I didnt pay 8-10 bucks to see it in a theater. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 28% I’d give it a 50.
On a scale of “Thor The Dark World” to “Into the SpiderVerse” I’d give it a solid “The Amazing Spiderman”. Huh it’s about as good as another okay Sony movie. Interesting

Totally with you on Woody as Carnage. He’d do -eh- fine, I guess? I dunno, I think he’s just too recognizable for other things and it would be too distracting. I got the sense that him in that scene was just a throwaway thing (or a joke), and that they were never really serious about casting him in that role. Which leads me to think that they were just ending it with a Carnage tease on the assumption that they were never goi ng to do a sequel. Gotta squeeze the character in now, if they’re not gonna get another chance , I guess.
But it sounds like there is going to be a sequel after all, which means that we’re stuck with Woody playing that character, or we’ll have another one of those awkward mid-franchise actor replacements.

You sure about that? $853M globally is a lotta tickets brought for a movie no one saw in theaters.

Yeah, came to say it’s made it 85% of the way to a $Billion, not exactly a failure.

I liked Venom. It was good for a Sony film for sure. Regular MCU would have been a disappointment. Same thing with Aquaman. I liked the struggle between Eddie and Venom and the eventual resolution to work together. I think it would have been a little better with Spidey, and I would totally see a sequel with Woody as Carnage. I also did not pay to see it in theaters, but I redboxed it the first day it was available.

Saw in it theaters and really liked it. I think because it was a fun film, didn’t take itself seriously and it didn’t end with a bad guy’s blue death ray in the sky. Not to mention, the bike chase with the SRT Jeeps was awesome.
