It is really easy to tear Venom apart. There are a myriad of issues with it from casting to screenplay to plotting to… well, everything. Superhero movies have come a long way in the past ten years, and Venom feels like it learned almost nothing from any of them — a phase one MCU film with none of the hope or aspiration of things to come. It isn’t really a good movie.
And yet…
It’s fun. It just is. It’s one of those movies that’s dumb as hell, but you don’t hate it for it. It’s got this campy, throwback feeling that plays stupidly earnest. It’s not a good movie at all, but I’m not sure it really wanted to be.
