I am one of a limited amount of marvel fans who actually really enjoyed the first Venom movie. While it may be a bit of a different take on the classic Spiderman Villain it was actually nice to see the anti-horror side of him which you see later in the comics but how does the sequel hold up?
Venom: Let there be Carnage follows the aftermath of the first movie and we get to witness more of a bromance between Venom and Eddie in this one. Eddie is dragged into a news story involving serial killer Cletus Kasady. Kasady thought he had a connection to our hero however when Venom and Brock solve the age old case of the murders Kasady had committed. However during a scuffle Kasady bites Brock ingesting Venoms blood to create the more brutal symbiote Carnage. It is down to Venom and Brock to work out their differences and face off against a near un-killable Symbiote hell bent on destroy Venom and all those that have wronged Kasady.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage was all I wanted it to be, the age old battle between Venom and Carnage which was visually stunning, if not a little to short. The film in general was a perfect example of how Marvel can create a spiderman universe without even having Tom Holland involved. The Venom character is possibly may favourite of all the MCU characters so far, the film has a perfect level of Humour to break the tension and Tom Hardy shows he is actually loving being the Eddie Brock Character. There were a few things I would have liked to see go differently
SPOILER WARNING!
I would have rather have seen Kasady somehow survive and the Carnage symbiote not just get eaten by Venom and overall I felt well too short. I would love to see more of all the characters, flesh out the Carnage scenes, more Venom and longer fight scenes. However these are just little issues. As an overall package Venom: Let The Be Carnage is a perfect Marvel movie, and the end credits scene! Oh damn!!
This is a perfect Spiderman tie in and I am looking forward to seeing how this new universe will continue going forward with Morbius and Into The Spiderverse 2
