The movie is filled with subplots, especially near the beginning, that just drone on and on and on and on. The trailers make it seem like a monster movie, but it is equally a boring reality show about a guy's life and relationship that is very shallow, uninteresting and poorly developed. Even things that are relevant to the plot meander along in a way that simply left me confused, not in the "slowly unraveling mystery" kind of way but the "alright, get to it already" kind of way. Then when it finally does Get To It, I find the action hard to enjoy because by that time I'm bored out of my mind thinking "Jeez, FINALLY." I find Venom's character very likeable and Eddie's character to be deeply developed and realistic , but every other character in the movie serve as shallow, stereotypical plot devices that are hardly explored.
On the plus side, it has a good soundtrack.
