I was not expecting this to be some masterpiece of the comic book genre but I can't help feel disappointed. In the UK, this is rated 15, so I was expecting something somewhere between the Spider-Man franchise and Deadpool. Despite being part of the Spider-verse, it feels incredibly separate from anything that has gone before. The only saving grace of this movie is Tom Hardy's performance, making Eddy Brock the only three dimensional character of the film.

An extremely underwhelming and forgettable experience. I gave this a wide berth at the cinema but was intrigued after seeing the truely excellent 'Enter the Spider-verse', i shouldnt have bothered and honestly neither should you. Paper thin story, terrible dialogue and very basic action set pieces. Not up to Sony's recent standards since partnering with Marvel even if this appears to be apart from the MCU. Avoid.

Story is very under produced and under developed. Tom hardy has very weird and awkward humour set pieces that didnt roll of the tongue to make me laugh. The tone felt off almost every scene of the movie. The ending is outrageous, where the guy blows up in the rocket and stares at venom through the window, the cringe was real. Rent. Dont buy.
