Venom Movie Review


Venom has just come out and the critics have already panned this film, but the real question is, is it as bad as they say it is? Well, I'll give my two cents on this little superhero film!

Venom follows an investigative journalist, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) as he becomes synced with an alien named Venom. The evil corporation that was housing Venom, wants Venom back, and won't stop until they do.
Alright, this film isn't as bad as Rotten Tomatoes critics say it is, but it's still not great.
I'll start off with the good in this film first. So in Venom the interaction of Venom and Eddie are very entertaining and very comical at points. Tom Hardy is the guy that really makes this film, otherwise this entire movie would most likely fall apart. Some of the action scenes are very cool, and you get to see some decent fights.
Now for the bad. So, Venom's motivation in the film changes really fast, and I mean fast! It's almost jarring how fast his motivation changes. The villains of the film are pretty freaking weak, and I mean that in the sense of character. The villains get little development, and how they take things to the extremes is almost laughable.
Regarding the music. The music is pretty standard for a superhero film, except for the end credits song. If you're a fan of rap, it's actually pretty good, and I would sit through that song if I were you, and besides, you have to wait for the end credits scene! Oh yeah, there is an end credits scene in this movie, but don't worry because there is only one.
Venom isn't a perfect film, but for what it's worth there is some entertainment value to be had in this movie. Like most films, theres some good and some bad, but like many other films in this genre, most find themselves somewhere in the middle.



final score: 3.3/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review  Had To Think About This One A Bit If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of Penny Dreadful . I did address my early thoughts on the new series a little while ago , and now that it's out, I thought I would give my thoughts on the first episode. For the description I'm going to quote IMDB , " Los Angeles, 1938. LAPD detective Tiago Vega and his partner, Lewis Michener, investigate a murder. While at City Hall, Tiago's activist brother Raul Vega battles with the fiery Councilman Charlton Townsend over the construction of California's first freeway. Meanwhile, Peter Craft, the head of the German-American Bun, meets Elsa, the mysterious mother of one of his patients. Sensing danger, Tiago's mother Maria pleads with Santa Muerte to protect her family as the rising tensions in the city threaten to explode." From what I've seen from other reviewers has been very mixed. And here's my two...
