dc20willsave Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Is it just me or is Tom Hardy's American Accent been getting worse over the last few years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donomark Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I actually think this is on the right track, but framing Eddie as a worker for "DA MAN" and this super slick reporter...IDK how much that's just advertising to seel the thing and how much will actually be in the film. I wish Venom's eyes were slightly bigger, but damn if he doesn't look creepy and on point. I think the tone is good. But fuck Sony for their original stories BS. Venom needs Spider-Man. The whole corporation, even if it's the LIFE Foundation from the comics, reeks of the ASM movies, which no one (but I) liked. This isn't Catwoman off the mark, I like Hardy as Eddie from what I've seen. but it can only be so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIM-bee-oat and SIM-bye-oat are both considered correct, although Marvel properties have only ever used the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're about as good as other superhero fodder. I like them a lot more than about half the Marvel movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davedevil Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I was 16 when ASM came out so the series was just right for me. I watched the first one 4 times in the cinema, something I haven't done before or since. I'm bothered with the antihero label they're putting in the publicity for this, when there seems to be no real hero to contrast with.

An antihero is a protagonist without heroic qualities (i.e.: The Punisher). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donomark Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I'm not getting the "this sucks" vibe that a lot of others are. Yeah the "turd in the wind" line is a head-scratcher, but Venom is pretty much spot-on as depicted. I'm not expecting brilliance, but this looks to be a film where the central character completely carries it and is worth the price of admission (unless you're of the 50% of comic fandom that flat-out just does not like Venom).

Venom is a terrifying monster and should not be making poop jokes. Still has potential to be good. Holding out hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Removing Venom from the circumstances of his creation results in a lot of generic material to fill in the gaps because there's nothing else there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Just watched Venom. Went from being like I don’t know I like this to genuinely thinking this is a good movie. So I don’t get the reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the reviews are "this is a Marvel product but not a Marvel Studios film, so it is inferior." That's how those things work.

Professor Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Watched this yesterday because it was $5 and I was bored. Went in with the lowest of expectations. I thought the trailers looked bad. Wasn't exactly excited. It was alright. Kinda bog-standard comic book movie. Straight popcorn. It didn't stay with me. I normally let a movie sit with me for a day or so before I give thoughts. I normally think about it randomly throughout the day. I didn't think about Venom until I saw this thread. To me, it comes down to Tom Hardy. If you like his Eddie Brock, then you will probably like this movie. I really didn't. He was annoying for a good 80% of the time. Last thing: I almost watched this on Sunday. But the 2:20 runtime put me off a bit. But it is not even close to 2:20. Movie started at 1:20. Credits started at like 3:10. Then the LONGEST credits I have ever seen play. And I'm brainwashed into staying until the end for that 'bonus' scene. And then they just play five minutes of a different movie. Spoiler As far as the mid credit scene, I expected the tease, but I didn't expect Woody. Which give a slight interest into a character I have no love for.
