Venom - 3/4
This was friggin' hilarious and provides plentiful evidence that Tom Hardy could have many creative outings in comedy films if he truly wanted to.
I hope he does, another string to his impressively strung bow.
The story was fine, the CGI was impressive and it was well paced. A quiet first third then increasing amounts of crazy until the end.
Michelle Williams took me out of it a few times because honestly - it should have been her not Heath in that casket, but whatever. I suppose she has value to the same fuck heads that thought Rene Zellweger was talented. That's her act now, ripping off late 90's Rene Z with that stupid voice and face and... Dargh...
Anyway everything else was solid, it just wasn't groundbreaking or hugely exciting. The thing that kept me involved was Tom Hardy as a man near the edge of a complete breakdown after a career and social free-fall.
It was almost as funny as Thor: Ragnarok minus the appropriate mesh of adventure and awe.
I felt no awe. The awe was missing.
Michelle Williams took my awe.
