Even the violence is unsatisfyingly suppressed for that PG-13 rating. Undoubtedly, some fanboys will be content with a mediocre fight between two characters they recognize, but as a film, Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a noisy pile of nothing. Overall Score: 4.5/10.
Sorry Venom fans, Venom 3 has been confirmed to be the last movie in the saga. Bad news Venom fans, but it looks like the franchise's upcoming third installment will be the alien symbiote's last dance as Sony has revealed that Venom 3 is the final film in the series.
Subverts his tragedy of being abused as a child with his murders of millions of innocent people. Even then, he proved to be terrible from the start, since he already had homicidal thoughts as a child, and even killed some animals when he was young showing no remorse for these acts.
It's rare for a sequel to outperform the original, but Venom: Let There Be Carnage does so in every possible way. It's funnier by a mile, the action is much improved and the overall story is considerably more compelling.
The film received mixed reviews from critics but was a box office success, grossing $506.9 million worldwide and becoming the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2021. A sequel, Venom: The Last Dance, is scheduled for release on October 25, 2024.
Everything about the story is rushed, repetitive, and uninspired. There are no intimate moments to allow things sink in because the script lacks substance worth meditating on. The humor is okay at times, Tom Hardy is talented enough to have chemistry with himself, and effort went into the CGI (though it was overused).
The sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage falls flat on its face as it attempts to recapture the fun from the original with what feels like a poorly cobbled together story, frustrating pacing and a villain that doesn't appear to have any story until the last 20 minutes of the film.
Serkis added that the production team knew they had to "get Carnage into the story at a certain point and [they] didn't want to linger too long before that happens." "But by the same token, what's at the heart of this movie is a fantastic relationship between Eddie and Venom," he continued.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage will cross $500 million worldwide today. That includes $212.5 million domestic, just under the $213.5 million cume for Venom in October 2018.
Marvel Comics' new version of Venom has become the most powerful symbiote ever. Dylan Brock, the son of the original Venom host, Eddie, has unlocked a new power that allows him to sever a symbiote's connection to the hive mind, which makes him a threat even for the all-powerful Kings in Black.
Carnage is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as an adversary of Spider-Man and the archenemy of his father Venom, in particular the Eddie Brock incarnation of the character, although Carnage and Venom have joined forces when their goals have aligned.
Carnage is a sentient being of pure evil, shown by how moments after the symbiote was born it wreaked havoc in Prison during its escape. Carnage also has a deep hatred for its father, Venom, wanting to kill him so that he could be the only symbiote on the planet and thus unstoppable.
Carnage was forged on Earth and has therefore developed slightly more potent abilities than Venom. The character is actually a lot stronger than Venom, despite having been born from him. In fact, Carnage's strength is more forceful than both Venom and Spider-Man's.
During a scuffle with a few gunmen, Venom and Spider-Man came face-to-face once again. However, this time, the duo formed an uneasy alliance, as they took on Carlton Drake and the five new offspring he created using Venom's symbiote.
While coming close to killing Spider-Man numerous times in battles since their initial encounter, Venom also began to act as an antihero of sorts, hunting down and often killing people it believed to be guilty, while attempting to protect those in danger.
After spending so long with Spider-Man as its host, the symbiote is able to mimic all his abilities, which is why Venom has all the same powers as Spider-Man, only amplified. This means that Venom is stronger and faster than the web-slinger, not to mention far more brutal.
The Anti-Venom symbiote was created when remnants of the Venom symbiote collided with Mister Negative's healing powers. Following his terminal cancer diagnosis, Brock decided to sell the Venom symbiote on the black market and donate the proceeds to charitable causes as a way to atone for his various crimes.
When a symbiote offspring of Eddie Brock, AKA Venom, merges with serial killer Cletus Kasady, the result is the nightmarish murdering menace known as Carnage! Reborn from an alien creature, he's a more psychotic and dangerous being that spawns a family of symbiotes.
In fact, right after its birth, the symbiote proved to be more adaptive than its father Venom, merging with Kasady's blood to forge a more visceral bond with its host. This also gave its “skin” that distinctive red hue. But it didn't stop there—Carnage continued mutating throughout the character's horrible history.
Although Venom has some funny one-liners and the tone is light, it also has a lot of violence without real consequences, including torture. In fact, some of the scenes are more like something from a horror movie.
Before this purchase, they sold different licenses to studios, including Venom and Spider-Man, which now belong to Sony Pictures. As a result, you won't be able to see them on Disney Plus yet.
Parents need to know that Venom is a violent, disappointing comic-book action movie starring Tom Hardy that's based on a villain from the Spider-Man universe, though Spidey isn't mentioned here. The violence, while mostly bloodless, is frequent and intense, with fighting, hitting, punching, and bashing, guns…
Cletus Kassidy was so insane that he bonded perfectly to the symbiote, to point where he would refer to himself as "I" instead of "we", like Venom does.
Why did the police officer's eyes turn blue in Venom?
In the present, he attempts to use Eddie Brock to investigate Cletus Kasady, but is seemingly killed during a battle between the Venom and Carnage symbiotes and Barrison. However, he absorbs a piece of one of the symbiotes, which later revives him and causes his eyes to glow blue.
