Even Tom Hardy Can’t Help ‘Venom’ Movie: 5 Reasons Why Spider-Man’s Foe Is Gonna Be a Disappointment
‘Venom’ solo movie debut premieres this Friday, October 5, but do not hurry to buy tickets as it seems the new movie is going to be a complete failure.
Why? Keep on reading Nexter.org to know.
‘Venom’ is nothing without Spider-Man
Venom was first introduced in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man comics as a mixture of bitter newspaper reporter Eddie Brock and an alien symbiote that had been rejected by Spider-Man.
Both entities hated Peter Parker, and their shared animosity fueled the creation of the vengeful and murderous Venom. But removing Spider-Man from the overall equation creates too many narrative potholes around which Venom fails to weave with any sort of grace or style.

Cinemablend called ‘Venom’ a mess. Eddie Brock has no concrete motivation to go after Carlton Drake, no credible reason to flush his relationship with Anne, and no discernable situation where bonding with the symbiote is the right choice.

Eddie talks about symbiosis with the alien as having the symbiote “up your ass.” At one point, the symbiote possesses a purse dog, and it’s played for laughs. There’s a lot of comedy in Venom, actually, though most of it generates uncomfortable and unintentional laughter.
No chemistry between Michelle Williams and Tom Hardy

Williams and Hardy have no chemistry — though, in everyone’s defense, it’s hard to root for the relationship after Eddie breaks into her computer.
Critics didn’t like it at all
While some responses have been positive-leaning, the general critical reaction is less than enthusiastic. The movie has earned a disappointing 25% rating on Rotten Tomatoes since reviews were revealed on Wednesday, October 3.
