After many months of anticipation the Venom movie is finally out, and I have to say, I enjoyed it a lot. I'm a big fan of the character ever since I was a kid who used to read every Spiderman comic book, Venom was always one of the most interesting characters to me.
This movie is a whole lot of fun to watch in cinema. Pay no attention to all the bad reviews, if you like Venom as a character this is the best depiction ever made, it is your duty to see it. That being said the movie is not like your typical Avengers movie, it is more of a reboot of an origin story about how alien symbiotes ended up on Earth.
Would you believe the movie starts as a romantic comedy that later turned into a horror-action-comedy flix. There are some laugh out loud moments, something you would not typically expect from this kind of movie, but we do have it, and it is awesome.
I was so impressed how every action scene had such a punch behind it, action is so visceral and kinetic once the Venom emerges from the unsuspecting Eddie Brock. Venom is a hulking beast, and even though he's only a looser on his planet, here on the planet Earth he is a mighty antihero who eats heads, you got to love that.
The bad guy Riot was a force, one of the strongest symbiotes in Marvel Universe, every scene he was in was as great as Venom's.
Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock did an outstanding job as a troubled reporter, honestly the best actor to play that role. I still remember that abomination they call Venom from Spiderman 3, this one is way better, and I can't wait to see the sequel, if it comes to that.
Score for me is 8/10, but I'm a big fan of the character, for everyone else 7/10, very watchable and fun movie.
