It's kind of weird that they're doing Ant-Man commercials for non-alcoholic beer.

Kind of astonished Wakanda Forever didn't get nominated for Best Original Score this time. The last movie won that category! Göransson's scores for those films are incredible!

Don't make me sad, all these great characters around Spider-Man, locked in a cage made by Sony. You'd think they'd just go "hey Feige, you put this thing together, we'll finance it so we'll get the lion shares of the money" because the Marvel Spider-Man movies have all been massive hits and among the best films, and they can do that with the others, but nope, they gotta put their own mark on things. I enjoyed Venom but its pretty silly and not a good movie despite being fun outside of the really gross eating parts, I really should watch Let There Be Carnage some day.

Yeah it lost the stupid 90s charm the first movie had, it has some moments (eddie and venom having relationship issues and them hashing it out) but the carnage parts sucked.

Really just need a super cut of the Eddie/Venom scenes and you’ll have everything of worth from that movie condensed into 15 minutes.

The funny thing is that Venom 2 received a much better (but, still bad at 56% rotten tomatoes score) than the original. And I have to think that it was because critics overcorrected after giving the first one a 30% and then it becoming a financial success.

The best part of Venom 2 is Woody Harrelson and Naomie Harris playing characters the same age.

Say what you will about Let There Be Carnage, it’s a movie that, whenever I come across it on TV, I leave it on in the background and have a good time half-watching whatever’s left of it.

Venom 2 is way stupider and way better than the first. The first felt like a movie that had all its weird energy come from Hardy on the day and some how they had to put it in, where’s 2 was like alright let’s do that from the get go.

venom 2 was alright for the first 1/3 where it's just venom and Eddie being married but as soon as the carnage stuff starts it's bad. not good-bad, just bad

I enjoy the over-the-too Carnage stuff in the comics, because a character like that shouldn’t be taken seriously Venom is also generally in that category but not to the same degree

Yeah, I feel that with the first movie, it's entirely carried by Hardy going ham in his double role while everyone else is going by the numbers. The mad scientist villain sucked and Riot's appearance as Venom's Armor King fell so flat. So they decided that when it came to a sequel, cast someone who can match Hardy's ham levels as the villain and do a better job building the villain symbiote as the T-1000 to Venom's T-800. The fact that they tried to ignore Woody's age just so they could fulfill this Natural Born Killers callback stunt casting made it even sillier and better.

i thought it was good when carnage said "LET THERE BE CARNAGE" while dramatic music played and lightning crashed behind him. I didn't think anything else he did was good but that made me laugh

I just watched it. Its absolutely a terrible film, with way too much focus on its one note and laughable villains (though it is responsible for me guffawing at how bad some of their lines were, YOU WERE MY PRECIOUS LIGHT). But Hardy and the symbiote are still funny together, so I'd say its worth just putting in the background and never seeing it again. Also the fact that its climax and any sort of excitement from its conflict is super lame is ameliorated by how short it is.

Get it back to Hardy and the teenage son that lives in him.

The fact that Venom named their pet chickens Sonny and Cher and refuses to eat them because they're best friends makes Let There Be Carnage worthwhile on its own.
