There is the chance that, particularly in light of their Fox acquisition, they absolutely want to secure the brand. If Venom becomes an embarrassment then they will offer a king's ransom to keep stockholder confidence high. i.e., pay Sony off once and for all. The good news is that if Venom does in fact fail... Sony's asking price for what is left of the Spider-Man universe is going to take a hit.

Put simply it’s an 8/10 movie for me.

Had a great time watching it at the cinema we laughed a lot. Venom is so charming and yeah there’s a lot of head eating by Venom. Anti-hero is so much fun!

Ooh that after credit teaser,
Spoiler:
I knew who that was the moment I saw the blood and red hair... teehee.

Plan to see it again.

Great, if you liked it, that means it's terrible.

He's not wrong, tbh. A lot of films Shark_Blade loves are terrible so it doesn't phase me at all that he loved this.

I definitely wasn't disagreeing with his analysis. Merely positing an observation on the sharpness of his claws this morn.

Pretty much. The Sharky Seal of Approval means steer clear.

To be honest, I have no interest in going to see this movie. It seems like the kind of X-treme dark hero movie that would have been made in the mid-1990s.

That definitely would have been the peak point of everyone's interest, sure. People were actually asking for it, back then.

Venom himself looks pretty good, though, minus the spider logo. Shame it couldn't be in a better movie.

I said it before but Tiger Claw is like Stan Lee, Steve Wozniak and Kevin Eastman, they're just positive about things but it's fine for people like that to exist. #noteveryoneisashill

I like Titanic, was it terrible now?

Your sad life is merely trying to find approval of others by trying to sound sassy instead of finding true happiness in this world.

Just got back from seeing it. No spoilers ahead.

The theatre I was in definitely had a great time - lots of laughs and positive reactions.

7/10 for me. Tom Hardy is an actor that everyone seems to gush over but I've personally never found him all that interesting - but I liked him here. The Venom/Brock back and forth is the highlight of the movie and their banter carries the film.

The script is pretty rough around the edges and could have used another pass or two, but whats there is servicable.

And I might just be getting old but I could barely follow the big fight at the end. I don't know whos idea it was to have a slimy black monster fight a slimy dark grey monster at night but they need a spankin'.

Anyway, I think this is an example of people wanting Non-MCU Marvel movies to bomb so bad that they're only going to focus on the bad when there's plenty of good to be had. I had a stupid small smile on my face throughout the whole thing - something I can't say was the case for alot of the MCU movies.

Of course, that's just this guys take
