Proof that a movie doesn't have to be good to be entertaining


Nope, this wasn't great by any stretch. Oddly though,I never found myself hoping it would end. This might be a watch it only once or twice movie, but it's fine as a popcorn flick,and surprisingly well rounded enough to be a family film. This looks like Citizen Kane compared to the last few Transformer movies, so it's a huge step up from many other CGI messes.

I felt the same way about The Amazing Spider-Man 2. A really fun popcorn flick that has an abismal script. Therefore becoming a bad film IMO. Although my reasoning for having had fun with it has to do about me being biased towards it because Im a Spider-Man fanatic since I was 9 years old...

So my point being. The chances of you being a Venom fan are pretty large

This was my first exposure to Venom,other than spidy 3.

reply

Thats even better then. Means you dont have to be a Venom fan to enjoy the film

reply

That means this was your first exposure to Venom. The Spider-Man 3 version was pure garbage.

reply

See, i see all spider man movies (yes even the originals) as badly written popcorn flicks. They are fun to watch. Good they are not.

This really was a fun, entertaining, and not very great film. Fun moments but certain parts are just too over the top to take seriously. Tom Hardy is what makes it worth watching.

That’s true but at the same time, audiences shouldn’t settle for mediocre films, don’t you think?

reply

We shouldnt! But action flicks sometimes are fun even if mediocre, like this one.

reply

Yeah, reminds me of the good ol' 90s action flicks. You know, all those Van Damme movies, etc. They are bad movies with dumb scripts and inconsistencies, yet pretty entertaining.

reply

I loved all of those movies from guys like Van Damme, Seagal and Snipes. Like you said, they can be a little dumb but theyre also a lot of fun!

reply

Exactly. I give this a 6/10 but it was a fun watch.

reply

I really enjoyed it. Hopefully a sequel can happen.

reply

its not very entrateining either its boring

reply

Popcorn movies have their place. This lacks rewatchability, I'll give you that.

reply

there are movies like steven segal movies from the 90's who are fun to watch and then there are films like alien 3 who are torture to watch. the worst aspect a movie can have is being boring venom is boring.
