I just popped in to say that I cannot even look at Venom's face on a poster, much less watch it on a HUGE screen.   Tooooo scary!  LOL. ???

I didn’t think it was THAT bad. The action was good, and I think Tom Hardy is a great actor.  The problem is, the film doesn’t know what it wants to be: Horror or Buddy Comedy. The teasers have Venom biting a guys head off but then he’s needling Eddie about getting his girlfriend back.

Having Drake become Riot also felt disjointed. Like what was the point if it was only important for like 5-10 minutes.  And I don’t see how Venom can all of sudden like humans when he spent the better part of the movie getting shot at.

Running in to say that my son and some others went to see it and they thought it was good.  Running out now because...well, it was Venom and I am scared.  Bye!   ???

I finally saw the preview.  Ugh.  It looks more Prototype than Venom. 

I'll reserve full judgement for when it is on video.

I finally saw Venom during my winter break so I’m a bit late to the party.  I will be reviewing Star Wars next.  All I will say is that the film is aptly named, it is pure toxic cinema.

We got the BluRay on a Slickdeal for the holidays. While my expectations were low, we ended up enjoying it, and laughing throughout. Of course, I'm not a comics purist... ;)

Question... was that Stan Lee's last cameo?

Finally saw it myself.  Yeah, it was pretty painful.  It looked more like the Prototype video game to me.

Whoever cut the trailer deserves a raise.
