Yeah, you can argue whether it whetted your appetite or not, which is fair, you can do this for any full trailer as well, but this teaser got it's basic points and premise across to me and that's all I'm looking for (and need) in a teaser. It's gotten me excited.![]()
Same. And I honestly agree with people that overall it felt or looked like a somewhat generic, run-of-the-mill sci-fi thriller. But this was just the very first released footage, the first introduction to the mere idea and existence of a Venom movie.
Now if the first full trailer, or later trailers leave me feeling the same way, then hell yeah I'll be tearing this thing apart. But I'll at least wait until seeing those to start writing this movie off.. And I also think there's a very low chance the real trailers for this movie will leave anyone feeling that way
Yeah, we all want different things, so a 4 or 5 score is pretty reasonable for this, especially considering it was put together in a rather typical fashion. Beyond that it seems unwarranted to be trashing this unless you were ready to do it anyway.
This film may in fact turn out to be a giant turd, but I'll never actively root for a film with this talent to fail, or completely write it off until I see reviews and/or seen it myself. Especially for a character I'm a big fan of. I've been skeptical of similar situations in the past, but I like the creative ingredients here much much more.
This is all I was looking for, a sense of tone and a bit of insight in terms of where they are taking Eddie's character. I like where they seem to be headed with this.
And yeah, people are now aware that a Venom film is on the way.
Sony really needed to get this right to build back geek cred and they didn't. If anything it's increased Marvel's leverage with them to control quality.
For this to even have been considered for release it should've included just a quick shot of Venom or the transformation, something that actually teases the visual of the title character in the film. They're rushing the film in a knee jerk reaction to Deadpool and its starting to show.
Venom teaser trailer with literally zero Venom = 1/10
Venom teaser trailer with literally zero Venom = 1/10
Remember TDK teaser with no Batman?
At least before the second suit.Bad comparison. We already knew what Batman looked like.
They did tease Venom or at least Brock with the symbiote/the transformation. At first I thought it might have just been shadows of veins or a trick of the light since no one else was talking about it, but after rewatching a few times I'm 100% certain that in the very last shot of him screaming on the MRI bed, black tendrils start creeping up his neck
I'm really really surprised more people aren't noticing/mentioning this
It might not be a glimpse of 'Venom' but it's definitely something. And I'm still in the camp of believing they didn't have to show any Venom or his voice. Just convey the tone of it and that it's actually in production with Tom
I'll give you that the black tendrils are there. But it just wasn't done well. For all the initial negativity Sony's taken they should've finished the transformation in that shot shown the face and ended it rather than ending on Eddie having a seizure. Otherwise it might not be the transformation. We still can't tell from this if Venom is the bad guy, the anti-hero, or something else.
Venom is #2 on trending on Youtube.
So far on the official Sony Pictures Entertainment channel, Venom currently has 161k likes to 19k dislikes. On JoBlo the trailer has 861 likes and 89 dislikes. The 4K version has 476 likes and 27 dislikes. On Movieclips Trailers it has 34k likes and 2k dislikes.
Seems to me this is hardly a universally hated teaser and has done a pretty decent job at gaining traction in the marketplace.
Just saying that likes/dislikes on a YT don't give much context. They're not a great indicator that people in general like the trailer, just that out of 8 million views only 161k people liked that video. I'm certainly not seeing that reflected when people speak about the trailer.
