Director: Andy Serkis
Actors: Tom Hardy, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris
Genre: Sci-Fi / Action
Rating: M
‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’, the second non-MCU Venom film, sees alien symbiote Venom and Eddie Brock (Hardy) learning how to share the same body. The film introduces Cletus Kasady (Harrelson) as a disturbed killer and his partner Frances (Harris) early on, before focusing on the odd-couple relationship of Venom/Eddie for the first act, which is quite fun. Anne (Williams) and Dan (Scott) are back as Eddie’s ex and her new partner.
Mulligan (Graham) is the cop trying to figure out what’s going on with Eddie and has a link to Kasady & Frances. Besides Tom & Woody – both good to see having fun with their characters – no-one really gets much screen time, but things move along very quickly (only ~90min total), as the final showdown when Kasady becomes “Carnage” inevitably happens.
Some solid CGI, which is required, but a poor soundtrack and a bit of a nothing plot. Feel like we needed more Dan & Mrs Chen (Lu) – the comedy aspects are done quite well and some of the action is good, but there’s nothing really new or too exciting. End credits scene is worth waiting for.
Overall: Again, fun enough, but nothing substantial
Gav's Rating: 3 stars.
