Movie
Venom Let There Be Carnage is easily an improvement on the original Venom film.
Venom 2 is a lean and mean 90 or so minutes of a movie. No real fat on this film. This review will try to also be lean too. The plot is fairly simple as venom fights his nemesis Carnage. Carnage is another more evil symbiote and is portrayed by the great Woody Harrelson. The movie moves at a breakneck pace and it only slows down to double down on the comedy. Tom Hardy is absolutely hysterical as Eddie Brock / Venom. Their banter will have you chuckling throughout the movie. The direction of this movie by Andy Serkis is fantastic. Serkis’s experience with motion capture is put to good use with all the amazing interactions of Venom and Carnage and with the various characters throughout the film. Most of the supporting cast is back from the first Venom movie, and they actually have better parts in this shorter movie. Wisely, characterization comes before the action within this movie. The action set pieces are more meaningful this time around. It also helps that every one seems to know what kind of movie this is suppose to be in. Venom Let There Be Carnage is 1990s style super-hero action comedy, and camps it up appropriately. FYI Venom Let There Be Carnage has a mid credit scene after the credits start to roll (it's a doozy).
Venom Let There Be Carnage is a superior movie to its predecessor. Venom 2 is a great movie and I highly recommend it.
Final Verdict: 8/10
