let me know in the comments were you excited for it when you've seen it are you not excited let's
just talk about it no spoilers but let me know your feelings on that mid post credit scene in
the comments below and also which is your favorite venom one venom two let's talk about it so going
into this new one 2018 venom for me didn't love it didn't hate it i was kind of right in the middle
going into this movie the trailers didn't really get me over excited but i was interested in this
film because i love tom hardy i'm a big fan of annie circus i love michelle williams i love wooly
harrison i i really want to see what they can do with carnage i know it wasn't rated r which we'll
talk about that in this review but i wasn't like i said i wasn't excited i was just interested to see
what they're going to do with this character so here we are talking about it starting off my pros
first and foremost they were able to bring what i liked about the first one and bringing it to this
one and give it to us 10 times more in this film in regards to this relationship of venom and eddie
and that's literally the best part of this film guys for me personally because this scene which
i'm not the biggest eddie brock fan at least this interpretation of the character kind of being a
you know lonely loser or at least venom looks at him as a loser kind of guy i wish he was had
a little bit more confidence but neither here nor there just taking it for what it is tom hardy as
eddie he's okay the star of this relationship the star of this symbiotic relationship is venom and
literally venom in this movie steals the movie like he there are points where they are going
back and forth love each other hate each other they want to be as far away from each other as
possible and i think venom with eddie venom without eddie is is a fantastic character he
he's he's always you know up to something whether it's what he's gonna eat chickens
chocolate people's heads and just seeing obviously just the progression of the character from 2018 to
this and even again bringing eddie into the mixes again i'm not the biggest eddie brock fan but
bringing him into the mix just seeing the economy seeing their back and forth is literally the best
part of this movie so i do give the films kudos to that in regards to what i liked about the first
one and double it down in this film and their relationship this old couple bickering couple
which was a lot of fun i gotta say not the biggest fan of cletus cassidy uh i'm a big woody harrison
fan but i'll leave that to a little bit later but i am a fan of carnage carnage as a menacing
chaotic just destructive character i think that this film really did highlight all of those traits
from what i haven't i don't read a lot of venom comics or carnage comics but from what i know
of carnage from the the 90s cartoon and the video games i've played they did a good job they really
did embrace the chaoticness and just the menacing nature of this he can kill anyone he wants blood
he's out for blood he has his hatred towards venom carnage they did a good job with him again woody
harrison we'll talk about that a little bit later and i will say also the comedy to me in this movie
not the biggest fan of but i did enjoy mrs chan they brought her back and there's
a couple scenes that she really does a good job in especially where it involves
venom and her and annie i thought that was a really funny moment and i will mention the action
the film it's number one i'll mention this also it's hour 37 minutes this film wastes no time
it gets straight to the point which i appreciate it because i wasn't really all that invested in
the story but the action the movie i wanted more but when we do get the action especially between
venom and carnage i thought it was pretty good and really well handled and just a lot of it was
much better than the fight in the first one which that cgi slush fest like watching two like weird
creatures clashing each other was just so stupid like blubber just fighting each other but this one
was like you can see what's going on it wasn't too quick and shaky it was like a really good action
moment so i'll give the film that the action was 10 times better in this one than the first
one let's move on to my criticism so this film to me which is i guess is a good thing if you
all have seen the trailer i think there was two main trailers for venom let there be carnage
the movie is exactly what the trailer is which like i said is a good thing but for me i wanted
to push the envelope but i'm not referring to the rating which i will say right now if it was rated
r waited in may read it in c17 it wouldn't have helped this film because the story is so paper
thin literally if you i won't even have to explain the story because literally if you've seen the
trailers you've seen this movie it is literally in the trailer it is a very simplified simpleton
story which to me again not every superhero movie not every movie in general doesn't have to be
the best movie of all time doesn't have to be the greatest comic book movie of all time but we're
at this point in the comic book genre i think we should be beyond just the mediocre stories
we should be on just the simplified you know we don't know how this character got powers
but just take it for what it is just like i think i think as an audience we should be more
inclined to want more from these films and again it doesn't have to be the greatest of all time but
i know some people are going to be fine with the lack of story they just want to see a bunch of
goofiness and craziness which i know a lot of people compare the first one saying and
they're going to do it with this one and this is no offense to anyone that thinks this way
and i think this way to a certain extent the whole like this film really embraces the 90s
over-the-top cartoonish type of vibes which i can applaud that i'm a 90s kid i love 90s cartoons but
that's a cartoon this is a live action action movie comic book movie with you know real life
actors some things don't translate well to the big screen and for me the whole 90s goofy over the top
we don't have to worry about character development we don't have to worry about story to me it's just
like i want that i want that in the film and that brings me to one of my biggest disappointments i
was so excited to see that andy circus was going to be a part of this film he doesn't have the
world's greatest filmography in regards to him directing movies he's directed some films which
i've enjoyed and i was just like this is the man of mocap this is the guy you want to do something
because i thought again the first film the cgi was just so abysmal and just disgusting looking
i'm like dude this is going to be top notch cgi any circus is going to bring his sensibilities
i mean this is gollum this is the man this is caesar he's going to bring a lot of cool moments
in this film you could have told me that andy circus directed this movie because i literally
think there is no flair there's no personality i don't feel like andy circus really put his all
and this isn't a disrespect to him i just don't feel like he was given the reign to really bring
his disabilities into this direction of venom it just literally feels like almost carbon copy
of kind of the lack of energy the lack of flare the lack of charisma from the first one it's just
like a bland generic movie without much direction in this film which like i said i'm an andy circus
fan and i really thought that he kind of dropped the ball and not really bringing anything new to
this franchise in my opinion which also brings me to i don't want to go on a rant here but there are
some characters in this movie that i just could have completely went without i'm a huge michelle
williams fan and i literally feel like michelle williams is just doing someone a favor like i
feel like this is like someone like hey calling a celebrity friend hey my son's a big fan of yours
can you come by to the birthday party just say hello to them that's how i feel about michelle
williams as annie in this film she's just coming by to say hello to the audience because she does
she literally has nothing to do in these first two movies which is a shame because again she's
she's an oscar-winning actress she's an incredible actress and her is annie flatline uh we get some
new introduction characters shrink who's played by another great actress naomi harris who i'm a big
fan of as well i did not care for string at all she was given this direction to have like this
piratey voice which didn't work for me i barely understood what she said i think they wanted her
to be kind of the pseudo harley quinn to the uh cassidy's you know joker which their relationship
didn't make sense didn't care for him at all and i thought that she was just a wasted character
and a wasted actress was a talented actress i mentioned i'm a big carnage fan in this film
cletus cassidy on the other hand i don't know what woody harrison was doing i know they wanted him
to be this chaotic killer serial killer who's just kind of on the edge of craziness but in
the film he has he's misunderstood which again character development is zero in this movie and
and just his progression from why he's in jail why he wants to have his story heard to me was just oh
again woody harrison big fan of yours but the direction and what he was given to me was just
very underwhelming there's a detective in this i believe his name was detective mulligan whose
story ties into shrink which again don't even again the story is very messy very not even
convoluted it's very straightforward it's just not it doesn't push the envelope it doesn't give
me much in the story it's just like we're just watching nonsense on the screen at least in my
opinion and then the comedy very subjective i didn't find this film to be funny at all i mean
venom's at a raid party having a sp don't listen before i give you all my overall thoughts about
score this film make sure to like the video share the video and leave your thoughts in the comments
again i don't wanna if you love this film i'm gonna wrap it up now if you are a fan of the
first one i think you're gonna enjoy this one i don't think this is gonna bring new fans to
the franchise and i've read an article the other day that this film is expected to do really good
at the box office which i'm not surprised because people like this i'm just not one of them i will
applaud the film with the relationship between venom and eddie i did enjoy carnage i enjoyed
venom more so than eddie but i enjoyed those two characters everything else the action which
there's is very unfortunate there's not many action moments between two characters but when
we get those two characters going head-to-head really really cool just wasn't enough of that
story's messy very boring i'm going to talk about the post credits in another video that's going to
be the thing that everyone's talking about and i think that's kind of a not a good thing for a
film if you're talking about something that's not even attached to the film that doesn't point to
good things for me personally so with all that being said i'll give venom let there be carnage
a 2.5 out of 5. if you love this film this by no means is a score that's indicating your tastes in
in movies it's just again film's very subjective i wasn't really all that into this movie future
we'll talk about that in my post-credit movie review that i'll do here after this but listen
if you loved it i'm glad you liked it but let's talk about it in the comments your pros your cons
your highs your lows with your favorite moments least favorite moments if you're excited for that
postcard scene do you want to see more venom let's talk by the comments for me personally i think i'm
leaning towards i like venom one more so that i like venom two even though this had more action
a little bit more of carnage but i think that the first film just worked a little bit better for me
but again let me know your favorite out of the two and let's talk about in the comments section hey
that's just my thoughts again let me know yours if you stuck around to this point in the video i
