WittyUsername Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 The Eminem song isn’t nearly as ridiculous as the one from the first movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Saw the RT “reveal” tweet at 72% then when I clicked on the link it was already at 69%. The first is (generously lol) 30%, so this will already end up an improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDude391 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Critics are growing so tired of stale formulaic comic book films that they're now being Venom-pilled lmao Edited September 30, 2021 by TheDude391 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) This seems really unfair when it’s 68% on rotten tomatoes. I know the average is 5.7/10 but still, a bit over the top.

Firepower Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 75% again. I wonder what's the reason of this shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinacolada Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 75% on RT and 53 on metacritic with 26 reviews.... this is a significant improvement. I think Venom 1 had a 35 RED on metacritic. This MAY stay fresh on RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knights of Ren Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Consistency in tone seems to be the biggest reason for the improvement. Also agree with @Menorthat they are making up for the overly negative reaction to the first film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valonqar Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Average is 5.8 though so I'm not sure if 75% will hold. better than 4.5 for Venom (33%) but not out of the woods. It needs to go over 6.0 to assure it won't drop below 70%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Heatnix Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 It seems they kept what worked in the first movie and trimmed or slashed what didn't work. Anyway, I really enjoyed the first one and I'm sure I'll love the sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also agree with @Menorthat they are making up for the overly negative reaction to the first film. Uneven tone was one of the big problems of the 1st, so glad they see they fixed it:)... All I could think of was that this sequel was a can't miss along the lines of Godzilla vs Kong, but with supers...I mean, two wildly funny movie monsters and actors in those roles do big battle at some point in the movie after chewing scenery for awhile- this is what I call a "can't miss" in the concept envisioning stage. So many movies go wrong at that concept stage, but this one seemed so right...it looks like they turned the concept into the reality:)...

titanic2187 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 76% from 49 reviews, not bad at all but I believe most people saw 72% on RT reveal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) This sudden shift in critics' perception considering nothing was improved from the first one besides tone consistency kinda makes them look like they were paid or something.

It's critics getting on the wavelength between now and then. The first movie had an obvious disconnect from the initial reviews for whatever reason and it seems to have taken hold since then 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 They seemed to have focused on what people enjoyed about the first movie more. The Hardy/Venom bromance will sell this, I'd happily watch a whole movie of them just cooking breakfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
