About as inconsistent as a film can get. The fantastic cast is entirely wasted on the most generic script I’ve seen in years and lifeless direction. Tom Hardy is easy on the eye of course but he doesn’t play to his strengths and the potential in the Venom mythos is quite thoroughly abused. Nothing even happens for the first half hour and there’s a car chase that feels like it takes up a whole act. I’m sure San Francisco loved being shown off but neither humans nor symbiote get decent set up or characterisation time. It’s bland, not well made, but passes the time if you have literally nothing else to do.
