“Catwoman-level bad” – The first reactions to Venom are in and… ooft
Here are the first Venom reactions 💛– they’re (mostly) not kind

Want to read the first Venom reactions? With a pull quote like that, who doesn’t? I’m morbidly curious too and – like the glutton for punishment that I am – I’ve compiled the best Venom internet opinions and, yeah, most of them are not pretty. Not all of them, mind – but Sony would do well to look away now. This isn’t pretty and t✱his is just the social media embargo being lifted. The reviews - including our very own - are coming very soon.
One of the worst comic book movies in recent times
Ouch. Most of the general consensus agrees on one thing: this is like something pre-MCU and pre-Batman Begins; Venom is a movie that harkens back to cheesy box-office fare. That🌱’s not a good thing when people are chucking the C-word around. That’s right: Catwoman.
Like a turd.In the wind.#Venom
Social embargo for #Venom is up. I talk about this a lot in my review but this is a movie that somehow slipped through a wormhole from 2004. That's my biggest take. It's a movie th🎶at spilled from the pre-MCU era through a crack in time and space.
#Venom really is a period piece from the early days of Super Hero films, and it’s clear they were aiming for this. I feel bad for anyone that uses this as a negative point because th🔜ey’re too used to the same flavor of hero movies we have form the MCU and DCEU now.
I mean... wow
It’s been a while since critics could universally pan a movie. They haven’t held back in some cases. G🍃et the popcorn re꧟ady, I’m telling you.
#Venom is Catwoman level bad, with Tom Hardy's🧔 worst performance since This Means War.DON'T SEE THE MOVIE!
Sorry to say that #Venom is pretty much a complete failure - a tonal mess that feels 15 years old, ignoring the storytelling strides that the superhero genre has made in recent years.A few fun Venom-centric moments aside, it has nearly nothing to o🌱ffer. Don't get your hopes up.
Tom Hardy's performance in #Venom is either💦 Johnny Depp in the first PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN or Chris Klein in STREET FIGHTER: THE LEGEND OF CHUN-LI. Either way, it's not boring.
At least it's funny. I think.
Venom may not split your sides, but some have already a🎃dmitted to having a good time while watching it. That’s what it’s al꧑l about, right? That, and Tom Hardy doing an accent.
Not sure if Tom Hardy's weirdness sabotaged #Venom or saved it, but it has a self-aware cartoonishness, especially in its latter half. It's not "good," but it's better than 𒀰expected. Doesn't feel like an R-rated film, am guessing the deleted 40min is just Hardy clowning a♚round.
#Venom was surpಞrisingly funny! I had a freaking great time watching it. Despite some problems, it did right by its main character, Eddie Brock/Venom. People forget that he's always hadℱ a weird sense of humor in the comics, and that humor is fully on display in the movie! pic.twitter.com/20ufNrbGU4
Significant chunks of #Venom don’t work *at all* ꧂but there is some serious charm to the Eddie/Venom relationship. Not sure I had the intended reactions to some scenes but fun is fun - even when it’s totally ridiculous, right? It’s too bad they didn’t go for the R rating though.
And there are bright spots!
It&rsqu𝓡o;s not all bad. Of𒁏 course, you can be the judge yourself when it arrives on October 3 but, for now, there’s only words and whispers to go on. The positives? Eddie Brock’s relationship with the symbiote and, mostly, Tom Hardy just goofing around. That’s worth the price of admission alone, surely?
Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and #Venom🎐 has some really entertaining moments. A clunky script witꦡhout nuance bogs the #Venom down, preventing it from choosing between being gritty, funny, or something unique.
Had a chance to catch the premier of my man’s new film #Venom tonight. It was unbelievable. Such a great character dynamic and Tom H💎ardy played it so well. The world is going to love this film. Congrats on creating🐼 a true blockbuster Ruben! pic.twitter.com/P39BijuM6o
#Venom wasn’t as bad as everyone was saying it was going to be. Tom Hardy is and always will be a great actor, and I laughed a lot — but I’m not sure whether that was intentional or not. Post-credit scene is 🔥
Don't worry, there are plenty more 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies for you to stick your teeth into.
