I really didn't know what to expect in anticipation to seeing this film. I enjoyed the first one somewhat, even more so after a second time of watching it. However this film disappointed me massively. The plot was all over the show, and actually made it really difficult to follow. The action was good in places, but not enough to save this film. I felt Venom, one of the coolest villains from the Marvel universe, became a comedy act. The relationship between Tom Hardy and Venom was great but relied way too much on comedic value for my liking.
I would have much preferred a raw, gritty Venom with touches of black humour.
