You're Trash, Brock: Venom debuts to predictably bad reviews - Sensationalist Headlines

I thought you were fucking kidding but I just saw a photo of a female venom embracing Tom Hardy

Well, I guess its time to wait for the dvd directors cut which will be R rated.

Gotta give the symbiote titties as to not make it gay.

sony did not make an R rated version of the film.

I'm pretty upset about this, I need a good anti-hero movie. Deadpool is great but was still pretty hero-ish.

Cowards.

Having a comic book movie with a black lead was a big deal, give it a few decades.

tbh, critics are wholly unreliable. I do take people's opinion into account if they say something worth hearing, but a generic score is useless. You can have a shit experience from a 90% RT score because the critics were terrible.

the worst thing to ever happen to film critique was lowering the bar for participation, which started with popular morons Ebert and Siskel, and progressively degenerated to the point now where "omg best film ever!" or "this sucks!" passes for a critique. If i go on RT, 99% of the reviews will tell me nothing about the film, nothing about the craft of film and nothing about what kind of person would or wouldn't enjoy it. It will essentially be multiple paragraphs of an individual emphatically expressing over and over again that they either loved it or hated it. An opinion, especially one as basal as a emotional response, does not constitute a review and is certainly not a critique.... and these morons are paid to produce this tripe!

That being said, there is one thing that audiences seem to really hate, and that is being lied to by the marketing. The fact that the titular Venom is barely in the film is bound to make people mad, especially since we are long past the age when comic book films were often ashamed of being comic book films.

I knew it was gonna be tough to do the movie without spidey but still im disappointed

symbiotic TITS and ass

I'm sure you can still find reviews that cater to your wants. You may just need to wait longer for the in-depth analysis you're looking for.

I almost forgot this was a thing, Venom without Spider-Man is like salt without food.

I just saw it, I thought it was a good watch.

Critic and Audience ratings either tend to agree or hate eachother's guts. Though more often than not, audiences will enjoy a movie while critics will pan it. Usually because most movie-goers don't look at movies with a critical eye or are lookin' for a new movie.

Shame. I really like venom's design in this.

now that's the truth, the punisher series is fucking great.

I'm finding the same as well. To my understanding, critics have to pedal through a lot of shit so they are more likely to find the "rehashed and overdone" points of a movie more easily. A typical audience go to a movie for enjoyment / social experience, and as long as they come out feeling like "cool stuff happened", "wow I got spooked", or similar feelings it will satisfy them. Experience vs Substance. A monster movie with cool as fuck fighting but the shittiest characters can still be as good as a deep thriller with only 1 room

It’s good lol. Not even “so bad” good. Just good. The critics wouldn’t enjoy a Venom comic, I am absolute certain.

Plot moves a bit fast once they're connected. The 30 minutes before that would be my biggest complaint. Takes too long setting up how much of a loser he is. The rest of the movie was very enjoyable though.

Ive been reading other people who've seen it had similar views. Weird. Wouldnt be the first time critical consensus doesnt match the audience consensus.

I think they should try to separate Venom from Spider-Man. Making a character solely dependent on him has always been a bit silly. Maybe in one storyline or movie, but not his entire existence.

The whole Spider-Man thing is a weird ass complicated situation where there was probably no winning. Either theres Spider-Man but its not MCU, so you get confusion and complaints, or it is MCU but you have to wait like 10 years, or no Spider-Man and you get complaints about no Spider-Man. I will say though that based on the one clip Sony put out, theres a specific line which i think was put in so that if they do have a crossover they can easily retcon Spider-Man into Venoms origin, the line in particular is Eddies "Daily Globe incident" and being "run out of New York", which is referencing how in the comics Eddie Brock worked for the Daily Globe and ran an article on the Sin-Eater after getting a confession from a pathological confessor shortly before Spider-Man caught the real deal, which in turn led to him being fired and later to him getting the symbiote as a result. Sin-Eater is small enough in scale for the MCU version to have realistically dealt with, since he's just a normal ass dude serial killer.
