I feel like movie critics by and large just don’t know what to do with movies that are cinematic dumpster fires but also wildly entertaining. By pretty much any critical standard, Venom is a real bad movie. The tone is inconsistent, the writing is a mess, the cinematography and score are nothing special, the CGI is shoddy. The only thing I think most people could agree is actually good is Tom Hardy’s performance. It’s a bad movie.

It’s also really loving fun.

Critics are people as well, and I've seen loads that can appreciate what a film is trying to do, even if it's not their cup of tea. Mark Kermode is usually good at this. But they still have jobs to do, and giving Venom a good review is like giving a good review to the Room. Yes it's a lot of fun to watch, but it's also a poorly made piece of poo poo. How do you professionally grade something like that? I can't really blame the critics.
