Saw it this afternoon. It's actually not that bad. A solid action flick with some humor mixed in. I liked it better than I did Black Panther and GOTG2. The after credit scene is great! Hardy's accent takes getting used to but it grows on you. He does a perfect job as Eddie Brock. Venom's voiceover is a major problem with the movie, but the character itself is awesome. You really come to love the thing. The CGI is okay. Williams and Ahmed are ok but nothing to write home about. It really is just a "buddy cop film". I give it a B-.

I've heard Hardy killed it. But I heard the movie itself looks like it was pulled out of Joel Schumacher's closet. I'm going to see A Star Is Born instead and waiting for Venom to come out on Netflix.

I like that it had a darker / more gritty feel to it compared to other marvel movies. I wish it was rated R and showed more gore. I think that would’ve fit better with the character. But overall I really enjoyed it. Def makes the character cool again vs that Spider-Man 3 poo

Don't understand why it's got so much hate from critics. It's a solid fun action movie. I enjoyed it. 

It's trendy to hate on anything non-Avengers (especially DC) so Venom never had a chance. It didn't pet the head of the PC culture we live in like Black Panther did and Captain Marvel will so it didn't get any praise. And most nerd critics are far too critical of comic book movies in some attempt to make them on the same level as actual good movies. So yeah ... they pan a fun action movie. Ignore them and enjoy the film is the best advice.

I saw it and thought it was meh. I didn't think it was up to other Marvel movies but Venom and Hardy played well off each other. The rest of the characters are card board cutouts who make questionable decisions the entire movie but it's a comic book movie. You're mostly supposed to check your brain at the door. This one just stood out as a little more disjointed. But it's fun to watch Venom tear poo up. I agree that an R rating would've been better. But it's still fun to watch.

Been a Venom fan since my childhood of the late 80's and 90's.  I thought the movie was good but I prefer the original origin story being a long time fan.

 

One plot hole that irked me though was the Symbiotes  are from a distant planet/ asteroid whatever, but they have Names in the English language from the get go.....strange  Venom, Riot......yadda yadda

Finally got to see this last night, it was interesting for Tom Hardys take on the stuff happening to him but there are quite a few "why didn't he (they) just do this easy thing instead of that crazy stuff they showed?" moments in it that got my eyes rolling. Wife was utterly confused by the motivations and transfers of the aliens, and I wasn't too far behind her. They launch giant spaceships off of a platform right next to San Fransisco? lol

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
