I rate Venom a 4.5/5
And a 90% RT rating from me
I don’t consider the RT rating anymore before watching a movie. I DO FOCUS MORE ON AUDIENCE SCORE.
The critics are the same people who determine Best Picture at the Oscars (snubbing many more deserving films such as Shawshank Redemption, and Alfred Hitchcock, Tom Cruise, etc.) when a lot of the movies being nominated tend to have some sort of hidden sociopath political agenda or are very Art house and for the bourgeoisie aka not for regular people, the masses. Movies with conservative values tend to get poor reviews from critics and better reviews from audiences.
Especially when you account the discrepancy between the audience and critics for movies like
