I liked the movie, great intro movie to Venom. A few gripes I had were, Eddie brock is known to be a big D-bag always bullying Peter when he's younger, and in general just a mean person who evolves into much better.. Wish they would've portrayed this much more. Show him at his worst movie 1 and how he slowly progresses to a better person.
I also would've liked a little more gore/violence, up it to PG-13. Venom known for gruesome kills.
Finally, a little more comic relief, marvel usually did a good job including in their movies, not sure why didn't have a little more.
Overall, I enjoyed, 8/10. Sign me up for Venom 2 With woody
 
If they marketed this as an action comedy it would of been critiqued better imo. The problem is it wasn’t funny enough and not serious at all. They should of just went all in and made it an adult comedy
 
Yeah, they should've went for broke and tried to copy Deadpool.

Even if they stayed pg13.

As is its just a few notches better than SS.
 
That Time Blade Movies Almost Used Morbius The Living Vampire and Werewolf By Night
February 12, 2016 Manny Popoca Comic Book News, Comic Books, Pop Cult News, Video Comments Offon That Time Blade Movies Almost Used Morbius The Living Vampire and Werewolf By Night

Remember that time in the 90’s, when New Line Cinema, brought one of Marvel comics first superheroes to screen and made him into a superstar (thanks in large part to actor Weasley Snipes)?



New Line Cinema, at the time owned the rights to use Marvel’s vampire based characters (very similar to the way Fox’s deal with owning the word “mutants”) which included Blade, Deacon Frost, Hannibal King, Whistler, The Blood Pack, Lilith, Dracula and two other classic Marvel characters.

But It also seems New Line, at one point had the rights to use the monsters – The Living Vampire Morbius and Werewolf By Night in movies (which they almost did)! Morbius, the character first appeared as an antagonist in The Amazing Spider-Man #101 (Oct. 1971). Morbius went on to become a heroic, tragically flawed protagonist in his own series and other titles. Morbius is a man suffering from vampiric abilities and physical traits resulting from a biochemical experiment he conducted on himself. As opposed to supernatural means, Morbius is a sudo-vampire who does need to consume blood to survive, even at his own behests.


Blade Movie – Morbius
New Line Cinema actually used the Living Vampire Morbius in an alternate ending to the original Blade film. At the end of the film after Blade defeats Frost and the two survivors head to the roof where they look at the horizon of buildings. A distant figure could be seen, wearing a coat and a cloth over his face, with all intentions of it being Morbius. This has also been confirmed by David Goyer in the Blade DVD commentary, calling out the character Morbius by name. The story goes, that director Stephen Norrington and Goyer were setting up the sequel which would focus on Morbius as the villain, but Stephen left the Blade franchise and in comes Guillermo del Toro to make Blade 2 instead. Morbius was dropped and a new version of a vampire was introduced as the antagonist of the film.


Morbius
Sam Raimi was more than ready to introduce the vampire Morbius in the forth installment of his Spider-Man franchise. Since the Spider-Man 4 film never happened, that idea was also tossed. Then comes the Easter Egg clues in Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man 2, where a close up look at the Oscorp secret files, reveals to us the name of Dr. Morbius (along with files for project Venom and Dr. Connors). Leaving fans to believe that Morbius is likely to be owned by Sony now.



Jack Russell aka Werewolf By Night showed up in a deleted scene from Blade Trinity as well. When Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds) and Whistler (Jessica Biel) are in a club, Jack Russell aka Werewolf By Night shows up! The deleted scene from Blade Trinity looks very cheesy but the on-set pictures of Werewolf by Night looked outstanding!

Just imagine how different the Blade franchise could have been if both character would have been used.

Since no new Blade films have been made in years, the movie rights for the Marvel hero and “vampires” have all been reverted back to Marvel. Maybe Blade and the Monsters film could come in the future, we can all hope and wish.

'Venom' Is Once Again Number 1 at the Box Office

The surprise hit, which overcame poor reviews, collected $35.7 million in theaters in the U.S and Canada, ComScore Inc. estimated in an email Sunday. It beat three new movies, including an Oscar favorite “First Man,” which landed third with $16.5 million for Universal Pictures. Thriller “Bad Times at the El Royale” garnered $7.2 million, and a “Goosebumps” sequel — also from Sony — scored $16.2 million. Warner Brothers’ “A Star Is Born,” with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, came in second for the weekend with $28 million.



'Venom' Locks Down China Release Date

The Tom Hardy-starring blockbuster is getting a splashy marketing campaign in the world's second-biggest movie market courtesy of Chinese internet giant Tencent, which bought a large stake in the film.

Already riding high at the global box office, Sony's Venom has landed a presumably lucrative release date in the massive Chinese film market.

The comic book blockbuster, starring Tom Hardy as the titular Marvel antihero, will release in China on Nov. 9, courtesy of China Film Group and Chinese internet giant Tencent.

Through Sunday, the pic has grossed $142.8 million in North America and $235.3 million offshore for a $378.1 million global total. The impressive haul represents a huge win for both Sony film chief Tom Rothman and Tencent.

Tencent took an uncommonly high 25 percent stake in the film. The Chinese internet firm is rolling out an aggressive digital marketing campaign for Venom, leveraging its vast online ecosystem, which includes China's most popular messaging and social media service WeChat, the Netflix-like Tencent Video platform, movie ticking app Maoyan, and much more.

Venom's release will come after a dry spell for Hollywood tentpole openings in China. The last major U.S. title to lead the local box office was Mission: Impossible — Fallout in early September. Venom will follow Shane Black's reboot The Predator, which opens in China on Oct. 26.
 
I know rotten tomatoes isn’t the end-all be-all, but the Venom rating has been creeping up little by little. Current 31% as opposed to low 20’s last week haha.
 
Am I over thinking it? Or is it a decent possibility that these different FFH suits might actually be some type of altered reality thing Peter is dealing with...I mean Mysterio is the villain here...
