Have you watched Venom?
Who are your favourite characters?
Which was your favourite part?
While exploring space for new habitable worlds, a probe belonging to the bio-engineering corporation Life Foundation discovers a comet covered in symbiotic lifeforms. The probe returns to Earth with four samples, but one escapes and causes the ship to crash in Malaysia. The Life Foundation recovers the other three and transports them to their research facility in San Francisco, where they discover that the symbiotes cannot survive without oxygen-breathing hosts, which often fatally reject the symbiosis. Investigative journalist Eddie Brock reads about these human trials in a classified document in the possession of his fiancée Anne Weying, an attorney preparing a lawsuit defense for the Life Foundation. Brock confronts Life Foundation CEO Carlton Drake about the trials, leading to both Brock and Weying losing their jobs. Consequently, Weying ends their relationship.

I would never call 'Venom' a good movie, let alone a good 'Venom' movie.

That said, it was super, super fun. That motorcycle chase was one of the craziest dang things I've ever seen, and I'm pleased that I got to see it in-theatre.

I only really remember Venom and Eddie, so I'd say Venom is my favorite. I like how he "sacrifices" himself to save Ed near the end.

I'd agree it's not necessarily "good", I suppose, but it's a fun enough movie, I didn't regret watching it. Best Marvel movies since, idk, at least X-Men Origins: Wolverine, probably. That was similarly fun.

I might borrow this from the library or something so I can watch it without Sony getting any more royalties. I don't want to financially encourage them in this ridiculous Spidey-less Spider-Man universe they've been concocting.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^See that motorcycle chase one way or another, man. By hook or by crook. Don't let your pride keep you from looking at one of the few things that have ever caused me to cackle with maniacal glee in public. Sometimes it's good for the soul for one to watch something ridiculously insane------------it's freeing. Cleansing.

I guess the notion of not including Spider-Man was a bit odd, but I honestly forgot as I was watching.
