I don't think the reviews on IMDB do justice to what a God Awful job the creators of this film achieved. Okay it's a musical, but the least they could have done is make the musical numbers relevant to the story-line. I may as well have been watching Puddles Pity Party Feat Lady Gaga (which ironically I probably would enjoy).. The film is basically a court room drama, with a romance sideline story. There is absolutely nothing DC about this film apart from Location and Character names. You could Joker to Janitor, Change Gotham to Chicago, and have Lady Gaga play a character of a different name, and the film would be pretty much identical.

And to anyone interested YES it IS a musical. I estimate that about 50% of the film are musical numbers that don't move the story along.

I think what vexes me the most is the cast. It's great!, and the actual ACTING is fantastic. But this film did not work because some "Blue-sky-thinker" at Warner Bros, said in a board meeting "Hey, here's a crazy idea... Why don't we make it a musical???". To whomever that person is, I hope your personal hell is watching this film on repeat for the rest of eternity.... Actually no.. I have sat through this film, and the once I sat through it felt like an eternity. I wouldn't want to wish that on anyone.

One of the first things someone is going to do when this hits the internet is go through and re-edit this film to cut out all the musical numbers.

I would like to go further, but fear that my account would be deactivated if I actually said what I want to.

Now don't get me wrong, the acting is okay, even the direction isn't too bad.. It is the entire concept that is rather rubbish. I know people have kept saying "It's based off a graphic novel".. I don't really care. The graphic novel sounds rubbish if this series is based on it.

I was really hoping this was going to be in the Sherlock family but from the perspective of the Irregulars. Witchcraft and the such are not part of logically minded that is at the core of the Sherlock character. No wonder the Sherlock character was throwing up in the second episode. I nearly was as well.

Arthur Conan Doyle is going a steady 10,000 rpm in his grave at the moment.

The only reason I haven't given it one star was because I don't blame the cast or the director. This is a poor concept, realised in an adequate manner.

This was very easy to watch. Don't expect a deep and meaningful film. This is a straight up comic / action film. Tom Hardy plays Eddy Brock / Venom perfectly,.

I would really recommend seeing this film before slating it. Make your own mind up about it. Personally I really enjoyed it.
