Honestly, i feel this one was (somehow) weaker than the first one: Pretty much 2/3 of the movie is just Venom and Eddie bickering and repeating the same joke about them acting like a married couple over and over again while Cletus does whatever. The idea of making it 90 minutes so it can get to the action would have made sense if there actually was any action besides Carnage killing fodder.
I have only found three-four legit reviews, it seems the movie is just okay, it sure is not getting rave reviews. Makes you wonder why Sony didn't even try making the first one okay.
Also, i wonder if this inspires enough confidence for Sony to lift the embargo earlier.
I hope people can stop using trailer views to predict success after this.
I'm waiting for the inevitable "Venom 2 Eyes $90M DOM" article from Deadline.
According to Fandango and AMC the runtime is 1 hour 30 minutes. If this is true it's considerably shorter than the previous one, which clocked at 1 hour 58 minutes.
