So it's been a minute since I saw the recent James Bond film. So here we go the sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage. It is the second film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe and the sequel to Venom, released in 2018.
Starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom, Dawson's Creek favourite, Michelle Williams, Naomie Harris, Reid Scott, Stephen Graham, and Woody Harrelson.
Let There Be Carnage sees Brock struggles to adjust to life as the host of the alien symbiote Venom, while serial killer Cletus Kasady (Harrelson) escapes from prison after becoming the host of Carnage, a chaotic spawn of Venom.
This is another delayed film from October 2020 til just recently.
Thus far, the film has grossed over $470 million worldwide, making it the sixth highest-grossing film of 2021.
Critically it has received mixed reviews from critics, although it was generally considered an improvement over its predecessor.
The first film, was easily one of the worst films I saw back in 2018. So it was no surprise, I enjoyed Let There Be Carnage a load more than the original. It looks indeed like another sequel is in the works.
I have struggled a bit with the return to cinema this time around, however I do feel along with this and Dune the people are finally heading back to the cinema and away for their lounges. Netflix, Uber Eats and lockdowns have really kept people comfortable at home.
Venom is not the best superhero/anti-hero/comic book film however it was a vast improvement on the original along with a little funnier.
It hasn't been a good second half of films for 2021, sadly. So this is a soft 2.5 Star review for Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
