David McK (3932 KP) rated Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) in Movies
Sep 5, 2023
That was ... different.
I'd read a few reviews of the first Venom movie that basically described it as a rom-com between Eddie Brock and the symbiote Venom.
Watching this, so must have the producers of this film as they have seemingly 'doubled down' on that aspect, with Tom Hardy again portraying by Eddie Brock and voicing Venom, with lots of internal conversations going on between the two (that sound vaguely like something out of Deadpool), and with the two of them arguing and bickering the part out with each other, leading to a (temporary) breakup of sorts.
As for Woody Harrelson? He portrays the serial killer whom the symbiote Carnage latches onto (although it's never fully explained how Carnage came to be from a sliver of Venom), alongside Naoime Harris's Shriek, who surprised me right at the start of the film in that she is a mutant.

All in all, I have to say, I *think* this is an improvement on the first, but it is a close call.
