Saw it this afternoon. It's actually not that bad. A solid action flick with some humor mixed in. I liked it better than I did Black Panther and GOTG2. The after credit scene is great! Hardy's accent takes getting used to but it grows on you. He does a perfect job as Eddie Brock. Venom's voiceover is a major problem with the movie, but the character itself is awesome. You really come to love the thing. The CGI is okay. Williams and Ahmed are ok but nothing to write home about. It really is just a "buddy cop film". I give it a B-.

I've heard Hardy killed it. But I heard the movie itself looks like it was pulled out of Joel Schumacher's closet. I'm going to see A Star Is Born instead and waiting for Venom to come out on Netflix.

I like that it had a darker / more gritty feel to it compared to other marvel movies. I wish it was rated R and showed more gore. I think that would’ve fit better with the character. But overall I really enjoyed it. Def makes the character cool again vs that Spider-Man 3 poo

Don't understand why it's got so much hate from critics. It's a solid fun action movie. I enjoyed it. 

It's trendy to hate on anything non-Avengers (especially DC) so Venom never had a chance. It didn't pet the head of the PC culture we live in like Black Panther did and Captain Marvel will so it didn't get any praise. And most nerd critics are far too critical of comic book movies in some attempt to make them on the same level as actual good movies. So yeah ... they pan a fun action movie. Ignore them and enjoy the film is the best advice.

I saw it and thought it was meh. I didn't think it was up to other Marvel movies but Venom and Hardy played well off each other. The rest of the characters are card board cutouts who make questionable decisions the entire movie but it's a comic book movie. You're mostly supposed to check your brain at the door. This one just stood out as a little more disjointed. But it's fun to watch Venom tear poo up. I agree that an R rating would've been better. But it's still fun to watch.

Been a Venom fan since my childhood of the late 80's and 90's.  I thought the movie was good but I prefer the original origin story being a long time fan.

 

One plot hole that irked me though was the Symbiotes  are from a distant planet/ asteroid whatever, but they have Names in the English language from the get go.....strange  Venom, Riot......yadda yadda

Finally got to see this last night, it was interesting for Tom Hardys take on the stuff happening to him but there are quite a few "why didn't he (they) just do this easy thing instead of that crazy stuff they showed?" moments in it that got my eyes rolling. Wife was utterly confused by the motivations and transfers of the aliens, and I wasn't too far behind her. They launch giant spaceships off of a platform right next to San Fransisco? lol

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
