I see most superhero movies because I’m a sucker for them. It doesn’t matter how much nonsense they have; my brain goes into low-power mode and I accept it all.
But I something about the first two Venom movies made me skip them. After watching this one, I can say that was probably a pretty good idea. My brain just couldn’t downshift enough for this thing. It clearly wasn’t expecting to be taken seriously- Venom is constantly making jokes that would make your dad say “that’s a little corny, don’t you think?” – but the movie is so determined to use as many stale and dumb tropes that it forgets to find new dumb trope to keep people interested.
But as far as I know, it contains the first use ever of Chekov’s Hyperacid. I guess that’s something.
