I think reviews will be stronger, but still likely below 50%
I like Eddie from SM3, at least he was a villain, not a hero.
Yea somebody here called raimi venom in name only when raimi venom is pretty much the closest comic accurate venom portrayal on screen besides some mannerisms and his body. This venom is a good guy so I don’t see why he would want to go after spiderman .A few years ago I don't think I would ever believe I would say I prefer Topher Grace's Venom to Tom Hardy's but I honestly do. For all the issues with Venom in SM3, and I will acknowledge he does look more like the Venom we know in the new Sony version, nothing about this Eddie Brock feels like the one I knew from the comics and such.
I think the key reason for me is taking out Spider-Man from how Eddie becomes Venom. The whole point for me was that Eddie was someone who got his life ruined and blamed Spider-Man and the symbiote feeling similar feelings towards Spider-Man, and them combining with a shared goal of taking him down. I think Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock on paper is a good choice but the way the movie played out, you might as well have used a different character all together.
Still curious to see him take on Carnage but the idea of him taking on Spider-Man feels so weird when this Venom has been built up as a 'guy who wants to do good' rather than someone who is fueled by his hatred for Spider-Man and his desire to take him out.
No way people preemptively bashing Venom 2 because they're mad the first one did so well? Color me surprised
Well the first movie didn't do so well with critiXs. SoNo way people preemptively bashing Venom 2 because they're mad the first one did so well? Color me surprised
Who is saying that?
I'm excited for this, I don't care what anybody says haha.

Yeah well there are boX office success and critical success. Both are needed if Sony wants this franchise to last for a long time, and not reboot again after a couple of films.Nah I was just referring to that tweet someone posted ^ about some random guy saying "a crappy movie is coming out" ha
Don't worry, I am too lol
I'm well aware, haha. That's part of my point though, people say it sucks, and point at its bad RT score, yet it was a huge success financially. And that's what people were/are mad about. And why seemingly, imo, bashing V2 before it comes out
(of course every movie gets preemptively hyped/bashed before it comes out though, so it's not really some big deal or anything. Some people will like it, some won't, nothin wrong with either side)
