I agree with this guy. It's why I couldn't be a critic - I end up liking most of what I see and it has to be truly awful to get anything more than "it's ok".
Guys, I am not a moderator! I swear to God! Why does everyone think I'm a moderator?

‘Venom’ Review: This Mess of a Marvel Supervillain Movie Bites
In the first scene of Marvel’s utterly unmarvelous Venom, an alien space ship crashes and burns on earth leaving behind a slithering mass of defanged, digitalized slop. That’s also a fair description of this puddle of simplistic, sanitized PG-13 drivel that Marvel has released instead of the scary, dark-night-of-the-soul thunderbolt fans had the right to expect. Tom Hardy and a massively overqualified cast, including Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed, have been reduced to putting on a clown-show for kiddies in a shameless corporate product where the creativity stopped with the balance sheet. This year gave us the best and most imaginative Marvel film in Black Panther. Now we have the worst.

And the special effects are strictly bottom shelf. Social media has been all over Venom, accusing fans of stuffing the Web with fake bad reviews so A Star Is Born won’t whack it at the box-office. Don’t sweat it. No one has to fake a bad review of this. The ending suggests there’s a Eddie/Venom buddy sequel in the offing. Someone needs to bite the head off that idea pronto. Audiences have suffered enough.

So this film is some goofy ass bullshit that feels plucked straight out of the year 2003, but it's worth watching only for Tom Hardy's completely bonkers performance, which alternates between Sean Penn in I Am Sam and Nic Cage in Vampire's Kiss

So marvel took one of their most popular characters, made a film that’s a dumpster fire and a laughing stock. Maybe they should pump the breaks and stick to comics.
