Not a bad movie to watch over a couple of evenings, but it didn't inspire me.

Because the original is better...

"Venom"
Overall, I like that they're making "serious" movies based on Marvel, like Logan and Venom. They certainly look very different. However, I must say that Venom won't please us with its originality (spoiler):
Do you remember the plot of the first part, hmm, of almost any Marvel superhero story? Iron Man, Captain America, Ant-Man, Black Panther? Yes, the villain gains powers similar to the hero, and he needs to be stopped to save the world. Well, maybe just save Uganda. But still, it's in that spirit. And it's the same here...
Another downside is that Spider-Man, or even direct mentions of him, were not included. This doesn't benefit the story – Venom runs around with eyes that look like Spider-Man's mask, but how that happened, and why there's this similarity, is unclear.
There were also positive aspects. I liked how Eddie was portrayed, the social situation also looks quite good, and the overall atmosphere of a non-superhero movie, which I mentioned, is also a plus.
6.5/10
