Michelle Williams has never had a flatter character than here and is basically wasted in a development-free plot-device role. ![]() However, the rest of the cast don't fare so greatly. Tom Hardy is intensely charismatic, with Eddie/Venom being interesting and well contrasted characters, far more believable than Topher Grace in 'Spiderman 3'. The music has pleasant moments and fits well while there is some exciting action, especially the car chase sequence. It looks reasonably good, well designed and shot with slickness and atmosphere. The darker elements of the film are actually quite well done, having a dark grit and creepiness. It is when Venom arrives on screen too when the film properly starts to generate interest, after too long struggling to invest in the first act. It is at its best in the scenes and chemistry between Eddie and Venom, which had fun and tension. ![]() Am not though going to join in the irritatingly excessive critic bashing from people who really need to start learning the difference between fact and opinion. Was aware that it was not well liked by the critics, but part of me was really hoping to disagree with the thought that could a film with so much potential be worse than it actually looked? Have to agree with those that were left disappointed, while also not finding 'Venom' to be that bad. Watched 'Venom' with reasonably high expectations and with the willingness, as always, to judge the film for myself and form my own opinion. 'Venom' also had talented people in the cast, Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams have both done great work in their careers, it looked interesting and found myself really fascinated to watch an origins story of one of the most interesting anti-heroes in the superhero universe. ![]()
