Venom Venom vs the MCU

Came in the thread to see if it was a Venom VS Hulk thread. Disappointed. I think Venom could give the Hulk a run for his money in a toe to toe fight. Venom was very much an MCU tone film. Close to Doctor Strange in its balance of humour with dark themes

WORST

 

There isn't a single mcu that isn't better than venom. And did you seriously put it above TFA? Are you kidding me. TFA is a movie, not a series of tonal ups and downs.

 

On this I could almost agree with you.

But for measure.
IYO.
That's for "in your opinion", so you know.

 

I think that every statement about entertainment (movies, TV, books, music, etc.) on the Internet should be assumed to be in the poster’s opinion only, unless stated otherwise. That can save some hassle.

 

You are absolutely right, but trust me, that up there is the exception that confirms the rule.

 

Judging by the reviews it's a pretty common opinion.

 

This is how I rank the Marvel films currently. If I added Venom to the mix, it would come in at #7.

1. Avengers
2.Black Panther
3. CA:Civil War
4. CA:TWS
5.Avengers: AOU
6.CA:The First Avenger
7.Thor: Ragnarok
8.Spider-Man:Homecoming
9.Incredible Hulk
10.GotG
11.Iron Man
12. Thor
13. Guardians of the Galaxy 2
14.Dr. Strange
15.Iron Man 3
16: Ant-man and the Wasp
17. Thor:TDW
18. Iron Man 2
19. Ant-man

 

Among professional critics, no doubting that.
More often than not I find myself agreeing with the critical consensus but it is not the be all end all, neither when I am aligned with it nor when I don't.

 

The only MCU film that I might rank lower than Venom is Thor: The Dark World, which I found to be really boring and tedious to sit through.

Venom is a really bad movie, but it's laughable and entertaining.

Otherwise Venom is very weak next to the MCU.

 

Common or not, still an opinion. Personally, yeah Venom is not as good as any MCU film in my estimation. But other people are allowed to feel differently. You need to start taking these things less personally, amigo. You're way too triggered by contrary opinions. Especially in regards to this movie.

 

Out of all the MCU movies, I'd say Venom bears most resemblance to The Incredible Hulk.

 

1. CA The Winter Soldier
2. CA Civil War
3. Black Panther
4. Avengers: Infinity War
5. Spider-Man Homecoming
6. Avengers
7. Iron Man
8. Guardians of the Galaxy
9. CA First Avenger
10. Thor
11. Guardians Vol 2
12. Ant Man
13. Thor Ragnarok
14. Iron Man 2
15. Venom
16. Thor Dark World
17. Dr Strange
18. The Incredible Hulk
19. Avengers Age of Ultron
20. Iron Man 3

 

Tastes are quite interesting. I mean, I will put a movie that I thoroughly enjoyed (Venom) over a movie I hated (Infinity War). But again, I don't put my opinion as the definitive opinion, since I also put Ghost Rider 2 over most of the phase 2 and 3 MCU films.

 

Go on, try and put venom over iw, it will sure be quite a spectacle. It's been quite a time I had such a laugh...

 

No this thread shows that aren't enough people that think it would match the mcu average quality to to fill an elevator, let alone "good amount of people".

 

There is zero up and down in tfa. It has an Indiana Jones vibe from beginning to end. It never tried to be saving private Ryan. It's very evident what it wanted to be unlike venom where some parts resemble gritty sci-fi thriller and some others resemble an Adam Sandler comedy.

 

There's not a single movie in the MCU that Venom is superior to.

 

He just did, so start laughing.
I don't agree with him but nevertheless I understand taste is subjective.
Life is too short and hard to worry to like the "right" things. You like what you like, period.
We can discuss anything without trying to ridicule others.

 

In MY opinion, I had more fun watching this movie then a couple of the MCU movies. I'm not saying it's necessarily a "better" film. But as far as having a good time? Much so. Probably will watch this a couple of more times. There's some MCU movies I just have no desire to rewatch.

 

I'm sorry man, but do you know what respect is at all? All you ever do is come in here and insult people. You're welcome to debate people and share your thoughts, but if all you can do is insult people, then no one wants you here.

Either learn basic respect for the opinions of others, or go on your merry way somewhere else that is not here. I've been telling you this fairly politely, and you keep doing the same stuff. So I guess I have to be more direct.

 

Tbh I’d take venom over any thor film. Or those overhyped gotg movies

 

I'd say venom's better than thor the dark world and on par with the incredible hulk. Every other MCU film wipes the floor with it imo
