Better Than You Heard

I honestly can't believe the reception this movie is getting. I knew from the trailer that the movie was going to have problems, but people are straight up lying. Venom is an enjoyable movie, simple. It scratches an itch for me I didn't know I needed to be scratched. A comic book movie that has a plot with characters.

Venom is an origin story for a character that movie-going audiences haven't really been introduced to before. The dynamics set up between the characters really work to bring this movie to life. The conversations that Venom and Eddie have together are hilarious. The mannerisms and all the acting done by Tom Hardy is really convincing. The movie does a lot to have a lighter tone which makes it easier to enjoy. They even seemed to fix some of the janky CGI from the trailer making it look better.

Some things about the movie that could have easily been improved were: the music choice during the first third of the movie, the transitions to different scenes, and to hold off on all the slow-mo. It's not like these were the only things wrong with the movie, but the rest is more of a general complaint. It doesn't have the strongest plot, pretty generic, but it got the job done. A lot of this movie comes down to it being good enough with fun sprinkles. It's the sprinkles that really pushes this into the positive for me.
I need to address issues people have with this movie that I don't feel are justified. To the complaint about the movie being PG-13 and not rated R, buy the extended cut when it comes out on Blu-Ray. Plus, gore would not make me change how I felt about the movie. Maybe it might for others who didn't like it as much as I did, but I honestly don't believe the movie needed it. To the people complaining about the plot of the movie, sure it's pretty typical for a superhero movie, but guess what, SO ARE ALL THE OTHER MOVIES IT'S JUST LIKE. Plus, I would take this ok plot over the non-plot of Infinity War any day. My final address is to the people complaining about comic book accuracy. You are probably some of the worst people out there. You complain about these things only when it suits you. You let Marvel get away with changing things and praise them for it. Take your non-argument and shove it down your throat.

Venom is fun, watchable, and is getting a bad wrap. Tom Hardy does a great job acting in it. It is totally worth a watch whenever you want to go see it. Stay for the two after credit sequences, they are pretty cool.
6.5/10
The most unbelievable thing about the movie was having a serious boyfriend, six months after being engaged.
