Well, at least this film is a leaner, meaner, funnier fighting machine than the first. But the first was a disappointment. So it's best not to have the greatest expectations going into this film. Venom 2 does double down on the humor, relationships, overall wackiness of the franchise, and Venom causing carnage(lol). Tom Hardy is better than ever and Woody Harrelson knocks it out of the park. Naomie Harris is also great but underutilized in this movie. It has a short run time but the film benefits from the length. Yeah, it has its typical superhero overblown CGI fest ending. But it's funny and fun while being very noisy and messy at the same time. Just stick around for the post credits scene as it's a game changer!
