Venom was my favorite anti-hero growing up. I'm disappointed with what they did with him.. And Carnage? He's supposed to be a destructive, all-consuming, made for combat monster. The bar was set low and they really really did not even begin to touch on how amazing these characters could have been. If I want to see a rom com then well.... I won't see a rom com cause rom coms suck. Edit: seriously, even aside from the comparisons with source content and lore, this movie is just so so bad. I legitimately don't see how anyone liked this movie. It made me laugh a few times in the first half but that was it. I was mostly left hoping for some character development and plot development instead of this mish mashed love story.

The Addams Family tainted by our current trashy pop culture. There's some merit despite all the hate but if you know the source content I can completely understand being irate about how this movie turned out. I barely know it so I had no expectations going into this and it still mostly sucked. I was doing other stuff and only saw bits and pieces.. it was enough.

Very very "modern high school". I got bored real quick, I really think this movie is just for kids. And even then I just don't think it's that great. I turned it off after about 40 minutes

I've never seen the original VHS and after looking up it's reviews and after seeing the first clip of this new one (VHS 94)... Yeah I'm good. I think I'll skip this series. I like horror with a little bit of thought put into it, not this stuff. Someone referred to the first as "gory porn" and that's all I really need to know to skip it and the rest of the series. Hard pass

Hmmmm I sincerely think if you didn't understand the plot you just really really weren't paying attention. I'm not gonna spell it out for you but they addressed nearly (almost) everything. I would say go back and rewatch it but I highly doubt your attention spans could handle it. Maybe watch some Jason or Freddy movies instead idk? Somethin simple. Now that being said I thought this movie was really intense and scary! Not like a lot of other movies, but in a unique way. I understand why it's hit or miss on that end. But damn some of the sounds and transitions literally gave me chills. I enjoyed the horror elements a lot and the way they built tension. On that end I rate it highly. The plot isn't the best but it gets the job done. Not my favorite plot and not my favorite resolution. I felt as if things never really unfolded and then the movie just sort of ended. Sure they tell you what's going on but it certainly didn't feel organic to me. Plus they've been living for 14 years like this? And she has absolutely no clue?? Nahhh I don't buy it.

This review is to Tonette: DAMNIT WOMAN. You're supposed to say *caution spoilers* not just instantly blab about the ending of a movie the first sentence!!!

Massive potential = Semi-massive let down. I enjoyed the show first of all. There was a lot in it I really liked. That being said, there was a lot I didn't like. Nonetheless this is much better than most horror out there.. so there's that. Those monologues were killer (in a bad way). They were forced and the writing for them was really terrible and overdramatic. I truly believe when you throw in too much sentimentality and drama you lose the truth because it becomes about YOU not the message. It becomes about YOUR emotions, not the message. Am I glad they said some of the things they did? Absolutely, some of it was well said and thought provoking. But then it would meander and just sort of wander off into "artistic" and nuanced mumbo jumbo. I am a religious person and it really annoys me when people mince things just to satisfy some so called artistic direction and to provoke emotions. There's gonna be some damn emotion if you're talking about heavy topics, you don't have to force it with 6 minute monologues that sound like personal diary entries!! Story wise I felt pretty let down, writing wise I felt pretty let down. So much was presented (too much in my opinion) that it was hard to find a single chord through it all. To continue the analogy I felt the show ended with a large jumble of twisted chords, all with loose ends. There are definite themes, there are definite ideas presented but the cornucopia of Bible verses, the atheist idealisms, the Muslims conservative views, morality, justice, good and evil, etc., they all sort of simmer in this melting pot of mediocrity instead of being properly woven into the tale. Too much was presented to have any unifying themes, yet these themes on their own were not delved deep enough into to give them any significant weight. All in all, I think they aimed for the stars and fell pretty damn short.. but at least they aimed that high and I appreciate what they tried to do here. There really is a lot that is good about this show, it's just that the flaws are glaring and unfortunately take away from the overall experience of the viewer.

Yikes read a review saying the plot went "wayyy over people's heads". Yeah, no it's not a complicated plot and it's really not that intelligent. This movie did some things right but as with most Shyamalan's films it tries to be over intelligent when it's really not and includes a weak script and plot holes. That being said it was for the most part enjoyable if you don't focus on it's obvious faults and I honestly liked the way they ended it.

I watched this movie around 8 or so years ago now. It really f'd me up for a while.. just coming here to say this is absolutely NOT for the feint of heart. Really f'd up movie. I think it accomplished what it was meant to though, the depravity was real and it was done well. Chilling

Rotten tomatoes hated it so it must be good. I'll have to give this one a watch...
