While this film suffers from pacing issues, lack of world building, Eddie and Anne's relationship being rather lackluster, and a pretty forgettable villain
Once Venom appears on the screen, the film becomes a very fun ride with Hardy's excellent performance, heart pumping action scenes, Venom's unexpected but really good moments of comedy, and the overall bond between Eddie Brock and Venom.
And yes, there is a mid-credits scene that you should stick around to see, although skip the post-credits scene as it's just an advertisement.
7.5/10
