Director: Andy Serkis. Cast: Tom Hardy, Woody Harrelson, Michelle Williams. 90 min. Fantasy/Action.
- Watching this lifeless sequel to Venom, the 2018 anti-hero Marvel movie about alien symbiotes who take over the hero's body, I kept wondering: who directed this? Whom did they entrust all this budget to? Of course: Andy Serkis, the famed motion capture actor of Gollum in Lord of the Rings, Caeser in Planet of the Apes, Snoke in Star Wars, Kong in King Kong, ... I can imagine a studio boardroom meeting where they were deciding who'll be the director, and someone said: "Give that body horror sh*t to Serkis."
- Who wrote the tepid story? Of course, Tom Hardy, the actor for Eddie Brock, the movie's hero. This must've been a passion project for all involved (rolling eyes ...).
- The first movie at least had some science-fiction elements, regarding symbiosis vs parasitism - which led to some funny dialogue between Brock and Venom. This one just has the funny dialogue.
- The entire plot and minimally interesting points of the story are already spoiled in the trailer - except the result of the climactic ending clash between Venom and Carnage, the villain played by Woody Harrelson. And considering the history of Hollywood, if you have any inclination that the villain might possibly win that clash, then this movie is definitely for you. Watch it and keep guessing till the very end.
