They give him an abnormal power turning him to a mysterious creature named Venom.
Is it a comedy? Is it an action film? [Venom] makes no pretense of being anything more than a superhero film,... trading the thematic material present in most major superhero ventures for biting off people's heads.
Creating a cult following is always fun and worth something, but it will not warrant the legs for a series that can keep up with the majority of people left wanting more.
Truly, a film this gloriously bad deserves to be seen on the big screen. If you want to see something good, see something else. If you want to see something fun... well, this is it.
It's hard to mess up a car chase up and down the streets of San Francisco and Fleischer certainly doesn't, though at these speeds we should be gasping and laughing instead of just nodding our heads.
Known for his muzzled and intoxicating performances, Hardy is one of the most fascinating actors on the planet. So it's a shame that Venom is too mediocre and forgettable for its own good.
Certainly I'm in a minority when it comes to my fellow critics, but I liked "Venom." Hell, if it wasn't for the sloppy and formulaic script, I might have even loved it.
The Venom symbiote requires a perfect match to bond with its host; otherwise, the host is doomed. The Venom movie plays like a midnight horror that has invaded a superhero movie, and while there are some laffs to be had, it's far from a perfect match.
The tone waffles about and the plot is utter nonsense, but if you can set aside all the expectations and baggage of what you think a Venom movie should be, you just might be surprised by how much you enjoy just what this movie is.
