Movie Theater Venom: My Kinda Hero

[Strykervet]

It's a Marvel product, maybe the last one with Stan Lee (he's at the VERY end so you don't waste time looking). Has Tom Hardy in it, he's a pretty good actor and has been in a lot of cool stuff.

Anyway, Venom is an alien symbiote and the two combine and the alien lives in his head. When shit goes down, the human becomes alien and he's unstoppable. Likes to bite off heads and swing one cop around knocking the shit out of the others. Just a total badass. The shit Venom says is pretty funny sometimes too.

Definitely a good one and different from all the rest. Darker, more complex.

Michelle Williams and Woody Harrelson were in it too...what's not to like?

I know! And it got bad reviews from critics... I bet they all have tasty heads.

I wanna see a second one but they're also talking about combining it with Spiderman. I hope not because those movies have different core audiences, one is family friendly, one isn't.

Woody Harrelson signed on without reading the script for the sequel he'll be in, they didn't have it. So he made a good choice I think, setting up the plot for the sequel at the end.

Tom Hardy has been in a bunch of movies, most or all really good too. He's worth searching for.

I personally really enjoyed it even though critics picked it apart. I even read a ton of the Venom comics ever since he was first introduced. I thought it was pretty true to what he should be in most cases.

I thought it was pretty good and bought the DVD so I could watch it whenever I wanted.
The dark humor was good but not enough of it in my opinion, maybe since they have the story line laid out in the first the second will be a little darker.

Regarding the critics, I usually seem to like the movies the so called pro movie watchers don't like, go figure.

Venom was the best superhero/antihero type movie to come along in quite a while, IMO. Tom Hardy did a great job as Bane and he was a great choice for the role of Eddie Brock and the voice of Venom.

Most of the superhero movies have become way too formulaic and dull to me, but Deadpool was a great change of pace and Venom was a great blend between dark but not too gratuitous or vulgar.

I like the current Spider-Man actor but I hope they keep the two separate for this particular imagining of Venom.
