- Thread starter ReginOfFire
- Start date
Tom Hardy as Greg Puciato as Eddie Brock
Something tells me that, regardless of how awful most of us think this looks, the general audience is going to eat this up

CUTE!
If you see the previous trailer you will see that the idea was to be just eddie using symbiote tentacles to push people away ... but people complained by the lack of venom so add more venom xD
Don't even need to be twisted. Just make it ... I don't know... GREEN. White. Whatever just to help us to see which part is venom and which part is awesome actor venom
It's weird seeing Venom without the white spider symbol. Obviously they intentionally did that because they can't mention Spider-Man though.
Why spoil so much? :( trailer showed too much. Just show Venom doing creepy things. Don't show plot stuff!
Yeah, that didn't look good. Venom looks alright, but the dialogue and the acting and everything else... yikes.
wasn't me man. Eddie.
My precious Eddie.
Startled Eddie.
Stuff like this was hype and should have just been the trailer
Probably. Right on par with every other third-act-cgi-overload-fest that plagues just about all comic movies.
Why did they released unfinished to begin withHey ! They finished the effects in the "psychic powers" scene ! =D
It's going to have the problem The early bayformers had where because they all look the same it was to tell what is going on
Like why not give the evil venom a distinct color
I'm not surprised, but making Venom a hard R movie would at least been more interesting creatively, and given them more room to hide the limitations of showing the Venom character via CGI.
Ha, perhaps not. Would have been nice to see a proper set up though with a black suit Spider-Man that latches onto Venom. Then a movie of Spidey+Venom vs. Carnage.
Venom looks cool in here. I dig the design.
But the movie needs some bloody violence, and some of that CG looked videogame quality especially the symbiote fight.
Dunno but I have a feeling this won't be good.

Out of the three trailers released so far, I'd say this is probably the worst. The dialogue is stock, the CG is pretty inconsistent in its use (in some shots, it looks fine, but in other shots, it looks way too busy or outright goofy in execution), the jokes are tonally off from the rest of the trailer, the sound mixing/editing is shoddy (seriously can't hear some of Venom's lines, it's outright incoherent), and the overall story just looks wildly unengaging.
As far as I'm concerned, this is going to be a bad film. Not a outright horrible film, it will have some redeeming things in it (Venom by-and-large looks fine, and it might have some solid action scenes), but everything else is a hard pass. Looks like a perfect companion piece to Suicide Squad: an aggressively mediocre comic book film about anti-heroes/villains, built on a foundation of bad ideas hot-glued together, designed by studio execs that don't really understand what they are making.
It's going to be downright fascinating comparing this film with Marvel Studio's Homecoming, Lord/Miller's-produced Into The Spider-Verse, and Insomniac's Spider-Man, which are all releasing/being released within a short period of time. One of these things is not like the others...

Post-credits scene:
Eddie disintegrates, leaving the symbiote behind, who attaches to his girlfriend to become Lady Venom!
Talking specifically about the editing of the trailer:
What's with all the bad dialog cutting?
"I am... Eddie Brock... I'M a REPORTER who asks WHAT THE" etc.

But, by making it PG-13, they now have a practical excuse for bad lighting, confusing fighting choreography, and poor cinematography. They "needed" to shoot it that way to ensure the MPAA would approve, because to do otherwise would be "too graphic". (This post is meant to be a joke, I am joking)
I just made myself vomit a little.

the villains and the goons are way worse than Netflxix MCU badies.
Picked them out of the generic goons catalog

This movie just comes across as way too edgy, dark and violent to the point of just looking silly.
These brief moments would be fine if, you know, it were just a Spider-Man movie with Venom as an antagonist. But 2 whole hours of this shit? With this dialogue to boot? It just looks so bad.
We never needed a Venom movie.

Sony Pictures need to clear out it's entire senior staff / producers.
The creative team have been serving up hot garbage blockbusters for the past 6 years. Left to their own devices they've totally shat on their Spider-man and Ghostbusters properties.
(they got lucky with Jumanji)

I was thinking in the small limited shots of Venom from the teaser that Venom was looking good, minus the eyes being too squinty. They haven't fixed the eyes in most scenes though and the shot of his full body looks pretty bad without him having the Venom spider logo on his chest. Of course the spider logo wouldn't make sense for the story they are telling in this but I still wish it was there.
Had a chuckle at some of those parts. Soundboard phone pranks shit right there.
Edit: It just occurred to me they cut audio from the film instead of making a separate voice over track for the trailer... wow
Yeesh, okay. I'm only suggesting a horror-oriented angle allows them to play with darkness that ultimately benefits a character like this in live action, when you're explicitly going for the "gritty" angle.
The look of Venom is great and his powers looks pretty good, but the storyline worries me.
It seems that they are going for a generic and tired as hell "government experiment" angle and like they can just "make" more and more symbiotes as they want, this takes away from Venom himself and his importance as well as the future with Carnage and their relation too.
The villain of the movie just seems very forgettable to me, at least from the trailers.
Also the voice...I could barely understand him in some parts, is this going to be another Bane where you need subtitles on?

And I completely agree. It sucks this is what we got instead.
EDIT: I probably should've added an "/s" at the end of the initial post. I didnt mean to indicate that your post was wrong or made me want to vomit.
