We are Venom.
We Could’ve Sacrificed At Least One Action Scene To Explore the Deeper Stuff…
Warning: this post briefly discusses both general and domestic violence.
I got around to watching Venom 2 (aka Venom: Let There Be Carnage) this week.
I’m a big fan of Venom — and I really enjoyed this one.
Tom Hardy is excellent as Eddie Brock. End of.
And the randomness was still there, which is always good — gotta have that randomness in there 😉😎
But… I would’ve preferred it if we could’ve sacrificed at least one action scene in favour of exploring some more of the emotional stuff, the intriguing stuff, the character-based stuff.
I know, I know — it’s difficult for any superhero and/or anti-hero film to balance all of the things that every section of the audience wants to see.
…But there are so many fight and/or action scenes, that nothing would’ve be lost if we trimmed them down a bit.
