Honourable mention goes to MVP Riz Ahmed who plays evil scientist Carlton Drake. ![]() That said, the fight at the end with the separation of body-from-alien was really fucking dope. This would be due to the fact that fans love the character of Venom, so they want to set the groundwork now for a good series. It's surprisingly not really an action movie at all - they spent most of the movie building up Tom Hardy's character and his relationships. The whole movie is set in San Francisco which is more realistic than the usual Marvel movie that traverses countries and continents and can become quite displacing. He is the classic anti-hero, which is definitely more refreshing than Captain America's crazy political patriotism if you ask me. If you're unfamiliar with the overall plot of Venom, you see the character of Eddie become "infected" with an alien parasite named Venom that becomes one with Eddie, giving him incredible strength, speed and an appetite for human flesh. It's supposed to be trash, because the comics are written exactly like that. It's lame and it's basic but it's fucking funny. The character of Venom from the comics is supposed to be funny in this way, much like Deadpool. The whole theatre was in hysterics for most of the movie. It's nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary. It has a pretty basic plotline, headed by Tom Hardy's Eddie that has maybe the most questionable American accent I've ever heard with some seriously pathetic one-liners. Just think - if this movie was released in the 2000s (Marvel's first movie was 2008's 'Iron Man') it would have gone fucking OFF. This movie felt like it fell through a wormhole from approx 2006 and arrived here in 2018. ![]() ![]() Coming from a 20-something Culture Kings employee, this review might hit closer to the mark than a 9-5 journalist that actually has money in their super account. I mean I'll be honest, it's a lame, exceptionally poor quality film, but it has a certain charm about it that you probably wouldn't understand without a millennial sense of humour. Currently sitting on a 30% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it's safe to say critics aren't digging this film, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. Marvel's latest offering, 'Venom', is maybe the worst movie I've ever seen in my life but I loved every second of it.
