Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

It was accurate. Venom eats dudes and there’s harsh language (the movie was obviously shot to be rated R and then edited down, which I think was a mistake), but it’s surprisingly good-natured.

I was surprised by how bloodless Venom was, even when you see people actively die on screen. I guess I went into it thinking that it was going to be more of a horror than it actually was.

I think the director wanted to make it R but Sony got scared at the last minute like they usually do.

Yeah it was a "15" in the UK which is usually a sign that it's going to be devoid of any type of gore. The first time the bad guys goons attack Brock reminded me of those kung fu movies where eight bad guys surround the hero, one of them attacks him, he kicks them and they fall down before getting back up and letting someone else have a go. Though I can understand why Sony would go for the lower rating.

I don't think it needed to be any gnarlier than it was. No need to bar 13-16 year olds.

Edit: Not saying a completely gory take wouldn't suit Venom, just that this movie as it was didn't need that.

Yeah, I know I sound like "waaa waa this isn't catering to what I want." But I don't really think that. I think I went into the movie with the wrong attitude is all.

We had a talk about how it's only a movie, and he must never eat anyone's head or he'll be in big trouble.
But no it was fine, a couple of scary parts earlier on but more jump scares than anything. Once it gets going its no worse than any other super hero movie (for example, Spider Man doesn't die sobbing in it, so that's a step up).
That was a really fun movie. I went in with fairly low expectations but it was kind of a blast. Tom Hardy is channeling Nic Cage throughout and he really just makes the whole thing enjoyable but going all in; whoever called it "the superhero version of The Room" kind of nailed it. I also really liked how much weight they gave him; he moves like Spider-Man but leaves craters when he lands.
Only complaint would bethe villain. I get not wanting to jump right into Carnage (and God I hope this gets a sequel because Woody would loving nail Carnage), but they really should have given Riot a more visually distinct look, a flash of color or some spikes or something would have gone a long way.

The largest revenue for superhero movies has been from foreign markets since forever. You must have noticed that several countries have them on theaters a week or two before the US.

A significant reason for the early releases is to beat pirated copies to market. That tends to happen in countries where bootleg copies eat the most business.

Yeah, there's not a whole lot of competition. What other big action movies are in the cinema at the moment? Mission Impossible and Ant-Man are both still in theatres but most people will have seen them already.

We’ll see how Venom’s Box Office legs are, because it only got a B+ Cinemascore which means audiences weren’t that impressed with it. Historically that puts it in some crappy company comic book movie wise.


B+
Blade II, Blade: Trinity, Thor, Spider-Man 3, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Punisher, Superman Returns, X-Men: First Class, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Suicide Squad, Justice League

Does anything ever get a bad CinemaScore other than horror movies? Even good horror movies tend to get "F" don't they?

I think CinemaScore (like Rotten Tomatoes audience scores, though for different reasons) are basically meaningless, because people change their minds once time has elapsed from seeing the movie. The only way to take the temperature of what an audience thinks of a movie is to keep your ear to the ground and have a look at what people are saying and what the tone and tenor of the discussion is. That's what I do.
