A Film that was locked behind the door of 'Only Streaming on Starz' until quite recently.
Well, let there be a review!
So, Eddie does the only natural thing...
He breaks the story and gets all of the glory.
This is all part of a larger Plot where Eddie wants Venom to not eat people, while the symbiote, well, does want to do that thing.
These boys need a Therapist!
Eventually, Kletus and Eddie end up in close proximity and the former bites the latter.
This leads to him getting his own mutated symbiote and breaking free right before he can be executed.
He has good, dramatic timing!
Cassidy is trying to get back to his lost love- a lady based on but not named Shriek.
Can love bloom between a lady who screams sonic blasts and a symbiote/man who can't stand sonic blasts?
Can Venom and Eddie come together (quite literally) to save the day?
Is the Non-Spider-Man Sony Spider-Man Universe in good hands?

To find out, stream it now (currently on Disney +).
A Film with big characters, big moments and a big issue with pacing.
The Film has some great visual effects, with Venom and Carnage both looking quite good. Freaky, but good.
Tom Hardy really makes himself look vulnerable as both Eddie and Venom (the voice). It is interesting to see in a Film like this.
The issue I have is the balance of setup to payoff here.
They spend so much time setting up Kassady, Shriek and then getting together that the Film suffers a bit.
Carnage, despite being in the Title, takes too long to show up. Shriek suffers as well.
The Plot is just way too convenient, with somehow Eddie, the Cop, Shriek and Carnage all being intertwined in the 17th Most Populated City in the United States!
Bonkers.
Bonkers.
In spite of its flaws, the Film has some good moments, strong visuals and, well, I can finally stop looking for it.
A Film full of interesting ideas and execution. It's just a shame that the Pacing is just so darn weird!
