Venom

Everyone's been trying to jump into the Marvel universe these days of course, even the eclectic Tom Hardy.  Showcasing a film about a villain instead of a hero, seems to be a turning point here for them.  But guess what folks?  The shit ain't working here, at all even with Hardy starring.  The origins of Venom are not explained very well here and the filmmakers can't really seem to decide what kind of movie this is even supposed to be.  The only interesting thing about this film, is how it relates to the the upcoming Spiderman film, but there is no cool factor about this Venom character, and attempts to humorize him stuck in the body of Hardy, come off too heavy handed.  Admittedly, I don't know much anything about the backstory of the characters, but it just felt at every turn like a wtf moment and I just didn't care and wasn't invested in any character here.
