I just finished watching this film, and to be honest, I personally thought it didn't come anywhere close to the quality of the first Venom film that was released in 2018. True, Venom: Let There Be Carnage was way funnier than the first film, the special effects were up and away better than the first film, and the music was fantastic, but that was about it. The story wasn't at all memorable, some of the script was really badly written (especially in the final half hour), and I wasn't prepared for how gory it got. It got alot more gruesome than the first film and a couple of times I shut my eyes (and I am a tough person who has no issue watching the first Venom film, the Deadpool films and the Alien franchise). I hope I have given a fair review. I just think you are better off just watching the first Venom film. That one is pure class. Never mind Let There Be Carnage.
