When the first motion-picture show relinquish in 2018 , it was n’t particularly well received by the majority of critics , though it did have its defenders , but go on to gross over $ 850 million at the worldwide box government agency , solidify itself as a hit . For the sequel , Sony Pictures die in a slenderly different way , recruiting new - t0 - the - franchise director Andy Serkis to helm , based on a script by Kelly Marcel , who worked out the account of theVenomsequel with Hardy . Venom : Let There Be Carnagedelivers some more of what works - Eddie and Venom ’s dynamic - though everything around them remains quite messy .
find fault up where theVenompost - credits scene left off , Venom : get There Be Carnagesees Eddie Brock interviewing ill-famed serial killer Cletus Kasady ( Woody Harrelson ) , promising to publish a message to the murderer ’s lover in exchange for an in - depth exclusive interview .

With so many things going on , and so many different storylines and character arcs , Venom : get There Be Carnageis an incredibly overstuff movie , especially with a brisk 97 - minute runtime . Although Marcel ’s script attempt to keep the film focus on Eddie and Venom ’s kinship , there ’s too much going on around them ( and even too many external influences on their dynamic ) , for it to be the dependable heart of the moving picture . For instance , much of theVenomsequel ’s runtime is spend establishing Cletus and Shriek ’s history and their kinship - so much so that they touch Eddie and Venom . And then with Carnage discombobulate into the mix , even more attention is put on the villain . But for all the time spent developing Cletus and Carnage ’s characters , their connexion to Eddie and Venom is rather underdeveloped . Instead , Anne ’s engagement has more of an impact on Venom and Eddie and provides some closure to certain free end from the first movie . all in all there are perhaps one too many ideas inVenom : Let There Be Carnagefor any of them to feel in full fleshed out , which make for an overall disorderly motion-picture show .
But there is still plenty of fun to be had with the film . Hardy prove once again how he excels in the role of a man who ’s a host to an alien symbiote . Their dynamic is like others in Hollywood films - to that extent as Hardy plays Eddie as the comedic straight valet to Venom ’s more weird and wild alien - while still being very unparalleled . After all , Venomisan alien symbiote who wants to eat brains while know in Eddie ’s body . WhatLet There Be Carnageloses a fiddling chip is the existent connection at the heart of Venom and Eddie ’s kinship . In the first film , they bond over being losers , but the sequel is perhaps a little too concerned with creating conflict , and then does n’t decent resolve it . Still , Hardy ’s portrait of Eddie and Venom is delicious chaos and there ’s enough of that playfulness dynamic to sustain the sequel . Plus , the additions of Harrelson and Harris , as well as the returns of Williams and Scott , all work out together as a strong plunk for cast , though it ’s Peggy Lu as Mrs. Chen who is the biggest scene - thief .
at long last , Venom : Let There Be Carnagesuffers a bit under the weight of expectations . Not only is Marcel trying to give sports fan of the first movie more of the dynamic between Eddie and Venom while still giving them lineament arcs , but Serkis is tasked with adapting Venom ’s most famous and dear antagonist in massacre and supply a well - grow villain report in the mental process . The issue feel like it ’s being pull in one too many directions and cease up feel very messy . Thankfully , part of the magical spell of the burgeoningVenommovie dealership is that mint . The first flick was empty-headed and messy and fun , and the subsequence is even more so ( intentionally , which detract from its charmjusta minute ) , but it ’s still a wildly entertaining ride .
As such , those who enjoy the firstVenommovie will do well with checking outVenom : Let There Be Carnage , while those who were n’t rooter of the 2018 movie can skip this one . Those who have n’t been win over by Hardy ’s blemished , but still charming , Venommovies may find something to like in Serkis ' film , particularly as the conclusion congeal up an exciting hereafter for the symbiote and his human host . The ending and the potential drop of Venom ’s hereafter may even twine up overshadowingLet There Be Carnageas a whole , which could be for the ripe . Even though the film is an natural action - packed funny book movie and Eddie and Venom ’s kinship is still a compelling moral force , it still has some major effect in its character and story ontogenesis . Perhaps one day someone will get a Venom movie precisely powerful and , though today is not that daylight , Serkis , Marcel and Hardy give up an entertaining tailspin on the continued adventures of Eddie Brock and his symbiote .
