Right off the bat, this show feels like it's trying too hard. It has very beautiful animation, but the story is just so damn cliche. Even with their own little spin on the protagonist, the story felt like something I have heard and seen a thousand times already. It feels really forced and edgy which leaves the whole thing feeling too unrealistic, contrasting the lifelike animation. Now, one thing that this show did extremely well is symbolism. There is one scene in particular that was so obvious but still worked very well, and it was even given more meaning later on in the story. The big twist was pretty predictable, like a halfhearted Black Mirror twist. Overall, might watch more for the good animation if I have time, otherwise not going to watch more.

This movie is a fun and entertaining action movie. No groundbreaking plot or themes, just a fun little ride. I read negative review before viewing and came to terms that this movie wasnt going to be a masterclass film, just a weird, quirky little thing. I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was: funny and sometimes a little heartwarming moments between Eddie Brock and Venom and, of course, the only reason I really wanted to see the movie, it has tons of great screen time action with venom and other symbiotes! I loved seeing the action! It was an imaginative and fun little movie that I will gladly buy on bluray!

Sidenote: Tom Hardy really saves the movie for me! You can definitely tell that he is into this role and loves the character. Seeing an actor and character blend together so well just feels right and I think this movie nailed it!

A real catch of a movie. Really captures a feel not easily duplicated!
