Besides giving a gung-ho physical performance, Hardy shares story-by credit with returning screenwriter Kelly Marcel-who, by the way, was wise enough to mine “ Fifty Shades of Grey” for its inherent, absurd humor.
It’s not about the world ending, as is so often the case in comic-book extravaganzas, and it’s only sort of about one man’s struggle with his own literal and figurative demons. Under director Serkis, taking over for Ruben Fleischer, “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” is zippy and breezy. Carnage!” at which point viewers around the world will have to take a drink. The character of Carnage literally bellows: “Let. He is the little voice inside all of us, writ large.īut silliness was the first film’s strength, which everyone involved seems to have realized and leaned into hard for the follow-up. He’s often the voice of Eddie’s fears and insecurities (“Just leave me alone, you’re always nitpicking!” Eddie complains), but he’s also Eddie’s chief cheerleader, encouraging him to reconcile with Williams’ Anne, who’s now engaged to the far more suitable Dr. Sure, Venom is constantly grousing about how he doesn’t get to bust out enough and eat people, and that a diet of chickens and chocolate provides insufficient sustenance.
#LET THERE BE CARNAGE RATING MOVIE#
It may sound insane to ponder notions like vulnerability and tenderness given that we’re talking about a movie in which a preening alien lives inside an intrepid reporter, bickering and bantering with him in the growl of a diabolical Cookie Monster (also Hardy, having a ball). However, you must stay through the credits, because some truly mind-blowing developments occur that you’ll definitely want to see. This is not a spoiler! Video messages before a recent screening from Hardy and director Andy Serkis admonished us all not to divulge any juicy revelations (which, come on Sony, we as journalists wouldn’t do anyway). But eventually, surprisingly, they reveal a genuine, emotional connection as they come to the shared realization that they’re actually better together. They may get testy with each other and argue over who’s really in charge. They may tell themselves they’ve achieved an uneasy détente since the original “Venom” from 2018.
