Forgive me cinephiles but for me, Venom was not just a funtime but a good film!

Let’s start with the negatives. Venom’s first act is bad. The film struggles in setting up a base for introducing the reporter Eddie and his girlfriend Anne (played by Michelle Williams). And apparently, according to the narratvie, Tom Hardy’s character is a ‘smart dumbass’…

Directed by Ruben Fleischer, the film follows Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), a reporter who comes into contact with the Venom symbiote and finds that the symbiote has begun to bond with his body and take over his consciousness. Tom Hardy shines as the highlight of the film and Riz Ahmed plays the villain ‘Carlton Drake’ and he was quite intimidating and cool! Apart from that, Drake’s motive and the whole ‘Life Foundation’ thing was generic and dull.

Tom Hardy also voices Venom, the symbiote. The relationship between Eddie and the Symbiote was the best part of the film. They’re the reason for why you should go see Venom with a big crowd to have the most funtime in a theatre. The humor works perfect with the film’s 19s style. The symbiote is hilarious as fuck and steals the show in every scene he’s in. Everybody is right, Venom is a romantic comedy that features one of the hottest scenes in cinema. You don’t want to miss that, seriously you don’t. Bring your wife, kids, friends and random people from the streets with you to see Venom, Cinema Cure guranatees that each and every one of you will enjoy the fuck out of Venom.

If they had made this a 2 hour 15 minutes (atleast) dark,edgy, Venomy film with more of Venom’s and Eddie’s relationship, this would’ve been a spectacular and a unique comicbook movie. Instead, the film has a generic plot with a boring and unsettling start which made me wonder “When do we get to the creepy Venom part?” But let’s look at the movie as it is and forget what it could’ve been.

The actions scenes and the visual effects were impressive and got me engaged in the film. The film contains a cool mid credit scene and a nice promo as its post credit scene. Fans will love them both but personally, I was never a fan of post credit scenes, mid credit scenes and all that shit.

Venom has so many good moments and once the film gets going (that is, when the Symbiote consumes Eddie’s body), the film thrives. The film has a certain creepy approach that is accurate to Venom’s comic run (Venom: Lethal Protector, Planet of the Symbiotes). I’d like to conclude by asking Sony Pictures to go and make a Venom sequel! A sequel that is R-Rated, has more of these weird and totally hilarious jokes and a lot more of Venom eating people’s pancreases!

Rating: 3.5/5

If you haven’t seen Venom yet, I will eat both of your arms, and then both of your legs, and then I will eat your face right off your head. You will be this armless, legless, faceless thing, won’t you? going down the street like a turd……. in the wind… Seriously, GO AND WATCH VENOM NOW!
