Not a bad film but to be honest I find it a bit too long and in many places, more than a bit dull.

Obvious change in origin but over all not bad venom looks cool and the back and forth between venom and eddy is funny.

An ok film with an interesting plot. Some of the acting is more than a bit dodgy but on the whole it isn't bad.

Weakest book so far. Its not bad, just not as eventful as the others. It seems like a big turning point in the series.
