I was originally planning on waiting until digital release - streaming to watch this, am still a little hesitant on theaters despite being vaccinated. But I caved and went anyway today. I had a good time with this one, though there are a few complaints. Overall a solid B for me. It's no Endgame, but a fun ride.
My biggest complaint? Killing off Cletus Kasady (Carnage) after just one movie. I thought Woody Harrelson nailed the role, and I wanted to see more of him as Carnage in future Venom movies, or better yet, facing off against Spid... more on that later...
There were a few scenes I wish they had taken more time to let evolve. Venom sometimes seems a little too much like a "bro" and less like a anti-hero or true villain he is supposed to be. But overall it worked most times. Shriek was a great character. I liked the backstory between her and Kasady. Now to the big question...
What does the end credit scene mean? Obviously an indication of joining the MCU, but in what way? Will Eddie Brock - Venom meet Peter as part of the large villain ensemble in No Way Home, and this was how it was announced? Or will Peter find himself in a future Venom movie? What are your thoughts?
