no cast for carnage?

This movie will be based on Planet Venom right?

hmmmmmmm SONY.

no cast for toxin?

In the end, the real Venom is inside us all along...

hmmmmm no Spidey?

hhmmmm Weird trailer can't say dislike/like

so-so trailer....maybe cgi not finished yet so they cant show venom...

it's a teaser. The film just done filming like few months ago now it's still in post production stage

Guess Venom will appear in 3-4 scenes in glorified cgi'ed cameo.

So much for a film titled Venom

I dont care abt Tom Hardy's break-up, betrayal as shown in teaser. I came for venom & prompted me to press dislike button as it didnt show jack

We're not watchin an anti-hero film (dat too flat-out most popular EVER) dealing with his character backstory, inner turmoils etc

Teaser looked akin to Godzilla 2014. I'm sure BO also gonna be same (flop lol)

Don’t judge so fast, It’s just a teaser

A teaser is supposed to get you excited. There should be at least one "wow" moment in a teaser that makes you want more.

The teaser for Venom currently getting a lot of flak... "Venom but without Venom."

...I hope it's going to live up to the expectations.

Apparently this is 'not a superhero based film' but a 'sci-fi/horror' film LOL...

"We are Venom.." 😁

Stellar cast, hopefully the plot is not just an 'anti-hero' wrecking havoc.

Much better. We are Venom sounds great

Ok. 2 sides to this trailer

One, it looks miles better than so-called "teaser". Editing, camerawork, score & Venom showcased in full-glory at tail-end after build-up throughout trailer was dope!

2nd, spoilers!!!! Why dafuq you spoil so much details? In teaser, almost non-existant details. But trailer pulak, tons of characters, backstory & expositions simply kill the joy of watchin them unveil the plot points at theater slowly..

On side note, as much as Spiderman 3 gets flak (it was highest grossing Spiderman film among Sam Raimi's trilogy mind you) the Venom design was aesthetic. Looked raw, yet refined.

Venom here looked excessively organic. Its not like I hate it or anythin. Wish they spent abit more time refining the CGI

Besides, Spidey better pop somewhere at Mid/End Credit scenes

Wanna bet that "we are Venom" moment will be the ending? Because that's totally what Sony would would do.

Haha guess nobody can top Marvel now 😄

A pretty sloppily edited trailer. Damn kiasu to cram every info dump on it. The Venom's voice pretty hard to make out what he is saying....

Weird trailer. Venom looks quite the generic CGI 'monster'. Doesn't look too good to me, IMO. Should have continued the same serious tone as the previous trailer.

Crap....the last shot reminds Outrider close-up shot from Avenger's Infinity War when they invaded via Wakanda's barrier

CGI looks pretty....sloppy

Sumtimes "less is more"

They showed waaay tooo many Venom shots here & it takes away edgyness associated with such cool anti-hero

Now this makes me miss Venom from Spiderman 3.

Last time when Venom was speculated to only appear for 5 minutes in the movie, people raged and bash Sony, now when the trailer showed many Venom scenes, people also rage.

Regarding CGI, beat it. We have already pampered with too much CGI effects in Hollywood. What do you guys expect? Stuntman in rubber suit?

I like ur username. Badass Toretto!!

I liked Venom. Hell. LOVED Spiderman 3 despite critics trashing it. I still consider Sam Raimi's trilogy to be classic superhero legacy.

Lets face it. A film called Venom (title itself has great brand value, easily one of most popular antihero like ever) starring great actor Tom Hardy released a teaser trailer with......not even a glimpse of venom? Dafuq was that? It spawnd meme with Tom Hardy's masturbating reaction & gave an overall B-grade psychological mess

Then, proper trailer was released & was lapped-up by almost everyone. Focused on Eddie & his life with Venom rising at final shot in his full-glory.

Now this trailer was cool. Its just the unfinished CGI on Venom.

Its ironic when u say stuntmen in rubber suit, cuz dats exactly what happens in frickin every goddamn Spiderman & AntMan films nah?

C'mon. Monkey King 2 (Aaron Kwok) released on 2016 had fantastic CGI & its not Hollywood product. A quality is a quality output regardless if its Hollywood or Bollywood or Chinawood, Tigerwood

In this case, the CGI shots of Venom looks tacky especially when he's talking to the guy at mart. Carnage scenes are cool, but when Venom's on the street choking the guy....its quite off...kinda like you can figure out difference between $120 H&M Tuxedo and $3000 Tom Ford Tux

We're living post-Infinity War era now. CGI needs to be updated or else gonna get trolled

Trailer impressions only... we haven't seen the final product. At this point no one can be right or wrong

if i'm not mistaken, that is not carnage

it is Riot (another symbiote)

This post has been edited by boca120879: Aug 1 2018, 11:17 AM

Umm....what I meant was "ganas" scenes like Venom opening his mouth to gobble-up a guy...dat looked dope!

Opps....spoiler alert😂😂😂

Grrr... The grey symbiote is Riot la! Not Carnage.
Life Foundation houses the Riot squad of symbiotes. Carnage is a serial killer bonded with a red symbiote......

If you want to compare creature rubber suits use GDT or Studio ADI or Weta for benchmark. Spiderman and Antman rubber suits are superhero costumes and not in any form or shape a creature costume that Venom clearly is....

Nobody said it was carnage no?

Guy, creature costume or superhero costume if it involves action choreography, its obvious stuntmen are at work. Your not gonna risk injuring ur multi $$$ insured lead for some stunt sequences

Quack like a duck, walk like a duck so please don't tell everyone that's a chicken....lol....

You got issues...no joke

Dat or I'm replyin to some random veteran keyboard warrior

It's not denial. I'm just selective about the reality I accept....lol....

pretty sure the fight between Venom & Riot will be confusing as hell, as both looks the same except the color which is black & grey

3 days left before the "VENOM... knock knock let the devil in...!!"

REALLY CANT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE D

The first impression reviews pretty brutal. Guess I'm not heading to cinema tomorrow....

Not unexpected. But hoping for so bad it's good

Pretty much...

It's Avi Arad and Sony Pictures. Of course it's going to be bad.

Upgrade is a better Venom movie starring better Tom Hardy. Watch that.

i don't care about the review, will go watch in cinema tomorrow

An easy [SKIP] for me.

Another Friday night popcorn movie once it "arrives" in HD.

Will wait for a better movie that deserves my money.

Likewise I don't care that you don't care about movie reviews....it's your choice....lol.....

Sony Pictures even managed to fck up Goosebumps 2. It's truly a gift.

Go watch Searching if it's still in theater.

Don't follow reviews blindly.
Transformers series have very bad review too, but many people still go watch the movies.

Beginning of marvel downhill?

Or

They saving all up for avengers 5 next year?

This post has been edited by skylinelover: Oct 3 2018, 02:00 PM

How is this related to Marvel Studio or Mousehouse besides the characters are from Marvel comic?

Venom is not part of MCU, neither Mousehouse nor Marvel Studio has any involvement in it, all blame is on Sony

Has nothing to do with Avengers either

kenapa ramai cakap cerita ni tak best sebab sony ?but nvm tengok dulu.

Oh my, bayformers, please don't even go there

with no real blockbuster movie coming this month

despite had a bad feeling about this movie

yet I still jump the gun and bought the IMAX tickets few days back

gotta lower my expectation to lowest possible when going into the hall

Popular box office does not equate quality filmmaking. Bay's Transformers are just garbage movies fueled by nostalgia hype and eye candy effects. There's nothing more to it. If that's your cup of tea...your choice but does not mean everyone has to drink from it.

I'm in no position to school you, likewise don't try to Dunning-Kruger me...lol...

i rather watch venom than watch repetition movies in Unifi or Astro

Review seem very bad lol 28% rt rating lol..

Haha watch local works lorh

Its already much better than old days

PASKAL bloody solid local work

Action with life moral lessons hahahaha

Okay, spoiler alert


Malaysia has a part in Venom.... Literally


Don't think they really filmed here thou, but the Malay language in the movie was quite good, and the car plates and all that. Dunno who was the guy behind the crew who made the magic into this movie. I'm impressed

But the Chinatown scene is not quite right


Anyway, they movie is bad, but not catwoman/daredevil ish awful as people claimed.

The interaction between Eddie Brock and Venom still enjoyable

This post has been edited by hybr1d3d: Oct 3 2018, 09:35 PM

First 30 minutes is straight generic kinda storytelling put in just for plot. Boring.

After that then the movie went hype with Venom scenes.

Just an ok from me.

I am more hype with Into the Spider Verse now.

just watched it last night ..

different storyline, i guess sony want to make a venom world without spidey.. sigh ..

action is ok
acting is so-so
symbiote venom choose eddie brock? wtf?

but still fun to watch la ..the venom alone is awesome
much better than the previous spidey3 version

fight scene between 2 symbiote is laughable ..remind me of T-1000

not sure, why sony make this kind of movie? cash grab?
i dont know .. but that just me tho

my rating : 2 /5

Malaysia "represented" in the movie?

Not bad... this is sort of a 'big' movie I guess.

I think the most recent big film that showed actual Malaysia was "Mission Impossible Rogue Nation" (Luther up on KL Tower) and of course, "Crazy Rich Asians".

Yeah, Venom didn't even have the spider emblem or spider man abilities like the webslinging or wall crawling. It was more like his clawing on walls and jumping on top of buildings.

Cletus cameo feels more like it's gonna get 'Sinister 6'ed if Sony's Venom universe doesn't work out.

I expected the ship was gonna crash in rural china or something since Tencent studio was involved. Surprised it was in Sarawak, they probably went with Chinatown since they don't have Malay cast.

Venom (2018)

I am at a disadvantage...

I ready the comic where Venom was introduced to the Marvel universe and this is NOT it...

Okay, Sony had licensed back Spider-man movie license to Marvel/Disney, I get that.

After Andrew Garfield's drop out with the Head Hocho's of Sony, alot of the Venom/Sinister Six movie project got shelf, I get that.

I still have to say, I don't buy the origins as portrayed by this movie.

It is so... clunky.

Tom Hardy is a hard actor to evaluate.

Why?

He is a true chameleon?

I had to be reminded he is also in the DC universe, namely, Bane in The Dark Knight.

So what I am trying to say id that he truly sells his roles,, that you forget he is Tom Hardy

Which to me, makes Eddie Brock / Venom a hard sell.

He is very flawed and therefore, not necessarily like-able...

Malaysia is "mentioned/showed" in this movie and is.... not recognizable...

So, what am I saying, this movie was put together with good intention and with a good cast, and have to add, I did not like the story and because Tom Hardy did a good job tithe Eddie Brock, I did not like the mavie...

Am I making sense??

My Two Sen

P.S. if you are a detail oriented then are two mini feature at the end credits.

After all not so bad. Credit part whos that?

It's not good, first arc is very draggy, almost all plot at that point are laughable, which I've serious doubt on the intelligent of the screenwriter

action scenes are also so so, very forgettable, and again with Hollywood, they just love making night action scenes, where they can hide most of the flaws

Eddie's relation with his ex, and Venom are laughable as well

well, at least it's better than the more ridiculous The Predator

some say it's F4 & cat woman level of bad? no lar, it's bad but still better than those 2

If you're expecting to see a bad ass Venom, you'll be very disappointed, what you'll get it's a "loser" Venom

stay back for 2 post credit scenes, first one is shortly after the initial credit, which open a possibility for sequel's villain, and 2nd post credit scenes you'll have to wait longer, and the credit rolls are damn slow! but IMO if you've the time & patient, it's well worth it, IMO that's the best scenes among the whole movie hint: it's nothing to do with Venom, but more with upcoming Spiderman animation movie, which makes me wanna watch it

abit dissapointed with this movie. it was average for me, 3/5.
and tom hardy is not suitable with all that jokes. wrong choice of actor.
also why make riot travel all the way from sibu to US. that's ridiculous...some more use makcik...

This post has been edited by O-haiyo: Oct 6 2018, 05:07 PM

It was OK. Though I notice a bunch of people going "Who's DAT" when they show the mid post credits, lol. I hope Sony is commited to making a sequel to this because putting such tease at the end only cheapens the movie when you're not going to follow through with that promise.

You guys enjoyed it or not?

Extremely enjoyable movie, in a so bad that it's good way

1 and half too short

1st 30 minutes too boring and extremely choppy

After that the whole thing got extremely entertaining. Tom Hardy is having the time of his life

Recommended for the lol

I don't know why the hate...i do really enjoy this movie

just a thought.... if this movie is under MARVEL studios and not Sony, I wonder whether the reviews will be the same..?

I initially wanted to give this movie a pass because of the bad review.

After watching it I can conclude that it is a good movie, they're not comparing apple to apple when they put this film on par with Marvel quality work.

It is a good movie on its own, granted there can be more gore. Not sure why they went with PG-13. But the humour and pacing was ok IMO.

It was thoroughly enjoyable.

watched it just now.
going in with a low expectation after reading reviews, i find it not that bad.
1st 30 minutes is pretty boring, but the action scene enjoyable.
6/10.

So many critics, so contrast

This post has been edited by boca120879: Oct 7 2018, 09:14 PM

I disliked it. Maybe the spidey version has influenced me, i found this symbiote talks too much and I don't really need the "funny" side of it. And the casting of the movie is bad, all of them are nobodies and none of them are memorable, including the character of Annie or the boss Chalton Drake. The shot they said was malaysia was the worst, from the location or the talking, it has nothing Malaysian in it.

watchable

7.5/10

I too think that it's watchable, but far, far from the best. The villain was the rather typical "worshiper" type. He looked like he was going to have an orgasm when he first saw Venom, lol. Female lead was quite forgettable too. Dsiliked Venom being a funny loser type. Wish they had leaned into the body horror aspect more...

Symbiote v symbiote combat was also surprisingly uninspired. Haiz.

Cinemascore is more reliable when it comes to audience feedback

'Venom's CinemaScore From Audiences Revealed
By NICOLE DRUM - October 6, 2018

Sony's Venom hit theaters this weekend, and while critics have panned the Tom Hardy-starrer it seems like fans have been far kinder. CinemaScore has revealed its audience score and it's a positive one.

CinemaScore, the company that measures audience reactions to films, has awarded Venom with a solid B+ score. It's a score that is very much in line with the film's Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score, which as of this article is sitting at 89 percent.

Of course, both the CinemaScore and Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score are strikingly higher than the film's critical rating -- it's currently sitting at 31 percent rotten over on Rotten Tomatoes -- so what gives? There are any number of factors that could explain the disparity between audience and critical reactions, but it appears to be another example of just how large a difference there can be between how critics and casual audiences see films. A similar situation happened earlier this year with the horror film Hereditary.

In Hereditary situation, critics praised the film with it receiving an 89 percent fresh rating (as of the time of this article) but received a dismal D+ from audiences polled by CinemaScore. In the case of Venom, the situation is revered and it's something that could honestly be a plus for not just the film, but the future of the Sony Universe of Marvel Characters. The CinemaScore rating is often seen as something of a box-office bellwether with films that have positive ratings doing well at the box office while those with low CinemaScores often see a drop in their receipts following opening weekend.

If Venom continues to stay strong at the box office -- and the film has already shattered preview night records -- it could end up being financially successful enough to warrant a sequel and movies beyond that, which is something that director Ruben Fleischer spoke with ComicBook.com about ahead of Venom's release, particularly in regard to things that couldn't be included in this film, like specific character appearances.

"I think there's a pretty obvious one inherent to the Venom franchise that for whatever reason couldn't be included in the film," Fleischer said. "But I will say that I look forward to future movies where said character could perhaps run across Venom. Nothing would be more exciting than a face-off with Spider-Man."

The irony is Venom more popular than Spidey series at the moment in comic books sales. Moving forward don't see Peter Parker making an appearance in Venom-verse unless Sony cancel their agreement with MCU. Well there's Miles Morales and Flash Thompson's Agent Venom or even the Anti-venom arc to exploit.

The origin of Venom being Spidey's black suit has been retconned to hostile invading alien species for qtuite sometime already. Just don't get why it has to be just one origin and not exploring other avenue of available materials.

Think the biggest roadblock of Sony Marvel related movies still lies in Avi Arad. Too bad he is the actual rights holder of Spider-verse while Sony is the official distributor. He ran Marvel comics to the ground while secure a lucrative toys merchandise monopoly. As he sold off MCU filming rights, he kept Spiderman in his pocket. So the rest is history. As long as he has a say in the final film....guess the future not too optimistic unless someone with muscle power to sway his terrible taste in movie making.

B+ like a 6/10 equivalent rating, so ok la
You know what else scored B+ on cinemascore? Spiderman 3 and Justice League

humm............no spidey logo on venom body........

just watched it yesterday night... its was kinda enjoyable

7/10


1st ending credit is

belum jumpa Spider-man lagi...

Plot Loophole .... featuring Malaysia


In “Venom,” Riot is an evil symbiote who goes through several bodies before landing in an old lady in Malaysia. The film then jumps six months forward and when we see Riot again he’s still in the same old lady and still in Malaysia when he then chooses to transfer into a little girl and make his way to the States.

So what the hell was he doing in Malaysia for six months? Speaking with Gamespot this week, director Ruben Fleischer was asked that question specifically....

Damn enjoyable movie

Absolutely loved the ending.

Webrip is out.

Entertaining.

The voices reminds me of 'Transformers'


Budget: $100–116 million
Box office: $822.5 million

We'll see how 'Carnage' do.


Just that...Hardy and Woody...not the best looking actor

Find someone handsome...maybe?


Cameo~
