Review:
When it comes to reviewing, I think this movie has some of the spectacular action scenes which are fun to watch but when it comes to storyline, it seems like they have copied it from comic books entirely.
First 20-30 min of the movie revolves around Eddie Broke’s life, which is pretty much boring, but after that period one will definitely enjoy the movie when the film shows the connection between Eddie and Venom symbiote.
Although there is no logic in the movie this movie is really entertaining for the audience, who are looking for action superhero movies.
The movie is really fast thus misses many small details and as a villain, Riz Ahmed performance is not up to the mark at all.
Director Ruben Fleischer does a fantastic job to manage the movie, but because of its weak storyline and below average performance by all the actors except Tom Haddy, this movie fails in many directions.
Whether to watch it or not:
In my opinion, you should definitely watch it, especially in a movie theater. As this movie is really dark, mostly in fight scenes, I will recommend watching it in movie theaters only.
Rating:
Although this movie has a poor storyline, the acting of Tom Hardy in some places are extraordinary. That makes this movie extremely entertaining.
Lead Actors Ratings:
Tom Hardy: 5/5
Venom: 5/5
Villian(Riz Ahmed): 2/5
