Venom: Let There Be Carnage - Angry Movie Review

[@michaelnicely4102]

I remember reading in the comic where Eddie says Cletus kasady has a body count that only dictators and diseases can dream of. Wished this was an R rated movie

[@aaronbozack830]

It's exactly as Alex said Carnage cannot be in a pg13 movie. Its debatable but even Venom kinda doesn't work for pg13 and I enjoyed the first venom but I was expecting more. That being said I imagine this movie will have the same feeling it was a kinda fun ride but feels like somthing is missing.

[@byronhines8315]

It's likely because Venom and Carnage will eventually tie into Spiderman next, so they can't do them R rated.

[@randomrecipes5007]

I just hope they released an R-rated, or MATURE rated version of Venom Let there be Carnage... where it shows Carnage ACTUALLY biting off their heads, with blood, and gore... and Venom biting off Kletus'.... that needs to happen for this film. Check out our Channel for EPIC Random Recipes! 🍔 👍🏼

The most disappointing thing that was said here was it sounds like they tried to humanize Cletus. Why do comic book movie writers never read the source material, Cletus Kasady is not a Joker character, he doesnt have some agenda or humanizing traits hes pure evil incarnate for the sake of being evil. He wakes up and decides he wants to brutally murder 100 people today just cause, he doesnt stop until 100 people are dead, just cause.

That's the same thing in saying. If he wants to fuck a chick he does it or an Alien chick he does it because he wants to No one stops him.

I wish they let Cletus command the symbiote like in the comics. His psychotic mind completely takes over and the symbiote obeys his every whim. As opposed to Eddie who actively talks with his symbiote and even discusses things with it. Carnage is just Cletus with a power-up in the comics

[@Bloxter_Plays]

First? On a verified?

[@churchofplatinum9685]

Nope. In the comics the Carnage symbiotic and Cletus are both so violent and crazy they essentially become a single entity. That's why Carnage refers to himself as "I" not "we" like Venom.

Its not even about the rating but lame ass characters and by the end everything just felt too funky and Carnage went out by the hands of a very boring screaming girl that just seems to be in the movie so she can annoy everyone both inside and outside of the movie, rather than Venom himself.

I completely called it. I knew the movie was gonna be another “meh” film, and I knew the movie not being R meant that Carnage was going to be heavily neutered. How are you gonna make a movie about a criminal-eating alien and a homicidal serial killer that has a homicidal symbiote… and not have any blood? Leaning into the comedy and away from the gore was a very poor choice. It also didn’t help that Andy Serkis heavily implied that Venom would turn out to be gay in this movie in an interview. Either Venom is now into men (which wouldn’t necessarily make him gay since Venom hasn’t confirmed itself to be male, but still baffling why Andy would say it), or Andy straight-up lied just to get the LGTBQIA community to buy tickets. Either way, not good.

[@TheOldBlackShuckyDog]

No, he didn’t say it was a gay story, he said it was a love affair. It was the media which picked that up and ran with the idea of romantic gay love. There’s plenty of types of love and I read what Serkis was saying as way more platonic due to the fact he didn’t say shit about romance

The film writers honestly have no idea who Venom as a character truly is. After have wasted hours of my precious life watching these two BS movies I can tell that they’ve never picked up a 90’s comic book of Venom nor have they’ve watched a single episode from the 90’s Sider-man animated series in their lives. It’s complete obvious.

The post credit scene is all I'm focused on after seeing this movie. I loved Woody as Carnage, he didn't disappoint as I felt he was a hand in glove fit for Cletus Katsidy. The post credit scene though...I wasn't ready for it. I just wasn't. I feel like this should've been Rated R, but I liked this movie. I'm glad that we got Carnage on the big screen, I wish they slowed this down a bit to really let this breathe like it should've. They were true to the source material somewhat as Carnage did run with Shriek in Maximum Carnage. (I'm going off of the video game, sue me. Also, that side scroller was AWESOME.)

the first venom was meh.. The end of the first movie.. They had the whole, we are venom scene.. So u would think they would be Symbiotic.. But.. They're not.. The first two thirds of the movies were basically like the first one.. 3rd act was awesome but I wished it had a R rating.. Didn't care for the shoed in romance of rip off black canary and cleetus... Didn't need the dynamic with Eddie's ex and her current fiance.. Honestly we needed an action sequence that made Eddie make the rule of no eating ppl again.. Could've had a mid movie battle between venom and carnage where venom lost because they were not symbiotic.. And then have the 3rd act play as is. I wanted to like this movie.. But I don't.. The after credit scene kept me invested tho. But that's it.. I give it a 4/10

I don't think we could have gotten a proper Superhero movie with Carnage as the villain. Carnage needs to be a monster movie or slasher movie. Imagine a found-footage of Carnage slaughtering across a city like Cloverfield. Or an unstoppable slasher like Jason toying with his victims.

[@marshallburlew7549]

I haven't seen this yet and probably won't till it comes out on video but I can't believe they didn't learn their lesson from the first one and make this rated R. The first one I can let it slide even though it should have been R, but this is Carnage we're talking about here. Carnage is a ruthless, destructive, psychotic entity that lives to destroy. Not to mention the fact that his host is a freaking serial killer and also a psychopath. Even though I haven't seen the movie, I think they missed a huge opportunity to go full hardcore rated R with this movie and make it great and I'll be honest. When I saw the trailer and the part when Carnage shows up and the things he's doing. I thought for sure that this would be R but I got confirmation from work last night that it's PG-13. Ugh!

Great video guys. Really appreciate your take on the film. I'm also hoping for more and more of eddie and venom as thats a bromance that should flourish into a while series of movies and even TV series I never got that statement "were probably going to get down voted to hell" i mean why dislike a video because their/his/her doesn't share the same opinion as you? You should respect their opinion and thoughts on the subject. They clearly care about the subject if their prepared to make a 20+ minute video on it and if they give actual criticism on it then that's great! That's what writers, directors, developers want. Criticism! Not "oh its shit, dead game" or "horrible movie" no. They want a WHY you think that, whether it's bad story or bad mechanics, poor pacing and plot. They want to know what they can improve on. I mean if you state your opinion down to the least helpful word then its not going to have much of a impact EDIT: now I'm thinking about it, I'm trying to say that if everyone had the same opinion then that would be a very boring world.

[@FernandoGarcia-rl6gj]

I agree completely with both joes and Alex, I was disappointed with this movie heavily. I thought this film would be so much more then what it was. Maybe it's my own fault for having such high expectations and maybe the bar is just set so high in the comic book movie genre. Movies being acknowledged as great pieces of art and even winning Oscars. This movie felt a mess, the comedy was over done big time, the subplots were ass. Who cares about Eddie's ex and her moving on with Dan lol or an hour long of venom and eddie having roommate problems, venom wearing light stick necklaces lol. Shit man, I wanted to see more carnage. We got a shitty brief animation of his upbringing. I would have rather got an hour of them actually doing flashbacks of carnage's life and tie that into the movie somehow. Show carnage's more menacing side and have more chaos. It probably is hard to do that with a PG13 rating I get it but at least make the film more serious and less cheesy and boring. I enjoyed the first venom movie alot more and probably won't which this one again. The final battle was alright but fell flat and felt lackluster because of everything that came before it in the run time. Only thing I really enjoyed and got excited for was the post credit scene

Ann and Dan sub-plot could have been dropped entirely. We have absolutely 0 interaction between Cassidy and Carnage. Instead of gathering people for a wedding, Carnage should have been rampaging through the City, fighting off the entire police force, swatting down helicopters. And i'm disappointed that Venom and Carnage only meet at the end of the movie. I don't hate the movie, just disapointed that it could have been better. It really needed to be rated R. Carnage should have been slicing people up like fruit ninja, not just shoving them against the wall.

[@TheJotaroKujo]

I feel like the Venom movies try too hard to be Deadpool. Funny antihero movies for more grown audiences. But the thing is they're not going to be funnier than Deadpool. They should have done the complete opposite. Instead of toning down the violence in favor of humor, they should have put the comedy in the backseat for a full blown gorefest. That is why people want to see Carnage. But that is sure not going to happen with a PG 13 rating. Also, the movie is waaay too short and fast. Cletus and Carnage come as fast as they leave. Great performance of Tom Hardy though, his acting and Venom are good. Hope they let him shine more in the MCU.
