Oct 5, 2018 · “Venom” is right there on the edge of what you can get away with and still maintain a PG-13 rating, in that it features massive amounts of carnage, gunfire and destruction, but no bloodshed. But as the film’s action set pieces grow larger in scale—including one particularly exciting motorcycle chase through the streets of San Francisco ...

"Venom" is a funny and entertaining film based on a Marvel antihero Venom with reasonable storyline, awesome special effects and weak and annoying villain performed by the awful Riz Ahmed. However, Tom Hardy has good performance in the role of the clumsy loser Eddie Brock and Michelle Williams complete the lead cast.

This is a spoiler-free review of Ruben Fleischer's Venom, starring Tom Hardy.
The best description of Venom as a movie is provided by a quote from the titular antihero itself: “An armless, legless, faceless thing… rolling down the street like a turd in the wind.”
In this Ruben Fleischer-directed monstrosity that rewrites the character’s origin to omit its foundational relationship to Spider-Man (who Sony has rented out to Marvel for the moment) slimy alien Symbiotes are brought to Earth and must merge with a perfectly matched human host in order to survive, otherwise the body rejects them, killing the host and potentially the Symbiote as well.
There’s something distinctly ‘90s about the tone of Venom, which relies on adolescent humor and gross-out gags in a way that doesn’t gel with the intensity of Hardy’s performance. At the same time, it shares a lot of DNA with the superhero duds of the early aughts, like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or Elektra, where the storytelling approach is distinctly by-the-numbers and the visual effects have a noticeable green screen vibe. And while some of the early fight scenes have a frenetic, well-choreographed rhythm, as time wears on, everything devolves into a typical CGI slugfest.
You can tell that Fleischer is straining against the confines of the PG-13 rating with the desire for more bloody, brain-chomping action, but it’s clear that a teen audience is more likely to be susceptible to the film’s awkward, schlocky tendencies than the more cerebral Logan crowd, leaving Venom stranded between two warring instincts.
Tom Hardy’s committed performance can’t overcome a painful script and indecisive direction, resulting in a film with a personality that’s as split as its titular character. There are occasional moments of brilliance in the dynamic between Eddie and Venom that give a hint of what the film could have been in steadier hands, but ultimately, that only ...

Tom Hardy does his best to elevate a tonally confused script, but Venom will leave you begging for an antidote.
