A lot could be said about this film and the reviews surrounding it, but I will keep it short and to the point.
In the graphic novels, Eddie Brock is shady. Really shady. His moral compass takes a one-way ticket. It is all about him and his career as a reporter. Then, Venom comes along, and they find each other. Together, they develop the ultimate hatred for Spiderman. Over the years, numerous timelines have been spawned between Venom and Spiderman. To cut a long story short, Eddie Brock/Venom is a supervillain.
Sony’s Venom starts by being murderous. Then, due to a not-shady Eddie Brock, he stops eating people’s heads and damages (severely) whoever gets in his way. Here, Eddie Brock is an honest, everyday, relatable guy who tries to keep his head above water and turns Venom into an antihero.
Separate these two in your head and just get entertained. Tom Hardy does a great job, the VFX team nails it, the script has the right amount of character development, laugh, action, and the final outcome stands tall on its own. If I were to pick on something, that would be the fight between Riot and Venom, where I struggled to figure out who was hurting and how.
Just enjoy it!
