Venom
7 years ago
So I went and watched the new Venom movie
A lot of reviews are allready out there and most see it as a really bad movie
My opinion is a bit differrent but a few things first
the movie suffers because of three things
First Baggage
If you hear Venom the first thing people think is Spiderman but here is no Spiderman (except a small remark about the screw up Eddi Brock had at the Daily Buggle which can only be the tampered Spiderman pictures be)
also the MCU has a big bad influence on peoples mind (almost all movies where great with good storie deep characters and well placed action and humor) Not in Venom (while the action is good and teh CGI is well executed the plot and the chars are standard and not really fleshed out)
and Deadpool ( also a antiherobut that movie just didn´t take itself serious and has a lot of violence in it well blended together) and while Venom has a few good jokes it just is to serious in itself so that half the jokes just miss the mark and the violence while there is victim to the cutting board to make the movie PG-13
So you go in and expect a lot but don´t get it
Second The Plot and the Chars
as mentioned before the plot is when you boil it down to it just a good buddy movie which have seen a dozent times allready (Eddy and Venom) both struggle in the world and they have to work together to become something better there is a bit of romantic mixed in it and a few other things but well they just don´t matter in the grand pic
and the chars are all dull and have little personality except for Eddy and Venom
Three marketing ...
if you saw the trailers you have seen half the movie allready
the did push it out and blown everything up so that in the end you are frustrated when you leave the theater
Now leaving all that out and seeing only the movie without thinking about it
then it´s a good action movie where you can leave your head and your stress home and enjoy some movie
you will forget the mvie as soon as you leave the theater but you are refreshed
you should probably watch it on DVD when it comes out (that is my opinion)
Not a bad movie but also not a good movie either

The only thing that made me put those things aside and finish it was the dynamic between Eddy and Venom, which it likely the only thing Sony focused on in terms of how to make the movie good.
