Gloriously over-the-top with Tom Hardy fully taking charge - and upping the antics to almost-too-crazy, Venom is a lot of fun - but also feels like it is a near parody of the superhero genre. I wish there was a bit more spark with the supporting cast - Riz Ahmed plays an evil version of Elon Musk while Michelle Williams is mostly going through the motions - but, there was a great Woody Harrelson cameo that gives me hope for an even crazier sequel out there. Even if this never meshes with the current MCU, Venom can stand on its own - providing you're not looking for something serious.
