Venom’s design looks great, every bit as scary and massive as he should be (the CGI seems a bit off, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that it’ll be improved by the time of release), the voice suits him very well, and I like that they’re showing the Symbiote having a personality of its own more than in Spider-Man 3 (with Venom calling himself ‘we’ and the Symbiote actually talking to Brock). On the other hand, the film still looks a little generic, the dialogue is really awkward, and without Spidey around I think Venom could become very boring very fast, since he’s really a character who works better when he’s terrifying his mortal enemy.
Given the self-explainable “ANTI-HERO” – it is quite clear where they’re aiming at: not the hero, not the villain, but something in between.
Still, it is the same feeling as the ‘Gotham’ series: a Batman story without Batman; here, a Spider-Man character without Spidey. Let’s just hope it works.
I still can’t believe they’re actually going through with this.
So George… day one tickets? Eh? Eh? EH?
Having seen the trailer now…mixed feelings. I think this might be a decent enough film. Weirdly it presents a scenario wherein anti-heroic/Lethal protector Eddie Brock could actually WORk as a viable concept because unlike in the comics he wouldn’t be transitioning into that after being a homocidal maniac.
But that’s where the mixed feelings come in because the reason he was that homocidal maniac in the first place was because he was very specifically a villain created for Spider-Man. He literally LOOKED like an evil Spider-Man and has how powers. So when you remove that…is it even Venom anymore? Wouldn’t it just be Super symbiote anti-hero who happens to look like and be called Venom?…and isn’t Toxin/Agent Venom kinda better at that anyway….I dunno but the trailer have levelled the movie up from ‘this is gonna be bad but I will see it because I am a fanboy’ into ‘this could actually be fun.’
I will say this though…I honestly prefer THIS look for Venom compared to Spider-Man 3.
As a general design Venom in a black version of Spidey’s classic suit looked cool but dammit…that wasn’t Venom’s iconic solid black look…and there was no tongue…you can’t have Venom without the tongue! That’d be like Superman without his cape!
So…this movie wins on that ground.
P.S. If nothing else after this I hope Avi Arad will finally get the desire to make a Venom movie out of his system and stop asking for it
Dear God, Spider-Man 3 happened 11 years ago and THAT Venom managed to look better than this one!
This looks awful like really bad.
The “dialogue” was bad the special effects didn’t look special and the mask looks really fake and out of place in the shot.
Someone mentioned it, and now I can’t unsee it: the full Venom face looks an awful lot like ’90s Spawn.
The fictional alien symbiote looks fake!
I’m slightly curious but they’re changing Brock’s personality WAY too much to fit their mold of what they think it’s going to work. For some reason I thought they were going to imitate Deadpool and have him crack messed up jokes or something (not sure why I had that idea) but it seems they’re going for a dull character adaptation. I wished they would have done something akin to that “fan” film Truth in Journalism. That’s the version of Venom I want to watch; completely off-the-handle screwed up in the head and fun to watch. Shame we’re getting a generic “anti-hero” flick, but it’s Sony, what did I expect?
