He's a fantastic actor
Doesn't have the best judgement when it comes to picking projects though
Hardy's probably really happy he's one of Nolan's regulars
The Spirit is one of only two movies I ever walked out on.
The other is 2005's A Sound of Thunder.
So he's a beefier Michael Fassbender then?
I'm more interested in how it does internationally. Venom is probably super obscure outside NA, but China loves their CG beat-em-ups, so who's to say it won't break out there?
Can this break $400m worldwide?

200M worldwide. Rumor was that Venom was not all that costly by superhero film standards.
I've seen bad movies but this is the first in a long time that I'm baffled by every aspect of. Why?
I've been seeing Venom promotions everywhere. Surely marketing must have been pretty hefty, no?
If it's a stinker and they know it's a stinker and they are doubling down on marketing they are nuts
Sky Captain is one of those films where you find the DVD, realise you can't remember anything about it, watch it and quickly forget everything again.
I still remember stuff from Alec Baldwin's The Shadow, and Billy Zane's Phantom
Frank Miller was convinced that he was a secret cinematic genius on the back of Sin City, when the truth of the matter was that Robert Rodriguez was too much of a devotee to the source material that he quit the DGA just to show his appreciation. It did not end well.
i loved it when i was a kid.
But I don't remember anything about it other than the cool aesthetic and badass Angelina Jolie.
I love the that movie due to the design. Reminded me of the 1940's Superman cartoons.

I don't see that happening. Maybe they will let Marvel have full control on any possible spin offs. They still regret the massively dumb decision to sell off the merchandising rights to Spider-Man so I imagine they will hold on to the film rights for dear life.
The only part of that movie that I remember was how much Angelinca Jolie was hyped and basically given third billing after Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, only to appear in the actual movie for all of 5 minutes.
nah, I haven't watched wrestling in years
although, I haven't watched Sky Captain in years either so maybe your point isn't entirely wrong
Yeah Locke is an absolutely masterclass tour-de-force by Tom Hardy. It's essentially just him delivering a monologue while blowing his nose and it's riveting.
Also stars Tom Holland funny enough. The Spidey crossover we'll never get.

For real, Locke is so good for a movie that can be summarized as "a guy drives and occasionally gets phone calls."
Yeah Locke is the movie I point to when people ask for Hardy's best performance. In a lesser actor's hands, that movie would not work, imo.
He's experimental. It's the one aspect of him that is unique. He seems like he wants a franchise though. I was surprised to find out he was in Star Trek: Nemesis.
Imagine if DC reimagined their cinematic universe set in an art deco style like that. Kinda like how B:TAS was designed.
As long as it's Ghost Rider, and not Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Ghost Rider wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination, but Spirit of Vengeance kept finding new ways to redefine bad.
You got me. But the DCEU is trying to feel like a real world. Adding an art deco filter would confuse people.
"We are largely part of the reason that Marvel was not liquidated and Disney saw value in superhero films. Let's sell it back when we are on the hunt for more IP"
In fairness, Sony's Board rejected the Company buying Apple during Idei's reign so you could be onto something.
People riding sharks def feels like the real world to me, but I get what you mean.
Imagine a stylized 40s-50s era setting with crazy architecture and whatnot. They could even go back to golden age power sets, like a Superman who can only jump very high and has a tough time stopping a speeding train.

Real world to me is just a modern setting. I don't mean be super serious. Going all the way back to Justice Society era DC would be tough. Those are not versions of DC characters people are commonly exposed to.People riding sharks def feels like the real world to me, but I get what you mean.

Is it bad if these Venom reports make me more excited to watch it?
A mediocre 5/10 will be way less entertaining than a flaming dumpster fire 3/10.
48 hours til my screening starts!

No. I'm with you. A train wreck of a movie can be more entertaining that mediocre slog.
There's a limit though. I would say that BvS is a trainwreck, but that movie was an unentertaining slog.
