He's like the quiet type you don't want to fuck with, but he also is witty and has intriguing mannerisms. He put on quite a display of non-verbal acting in Mad Max, IMO.

I played Maximum Carnage on SNES constantly and I cannot wait for this.
90s era Spidey/Venom/Carnage was my jam.

If I helmed a Venom flick it would be a very different beast.
I love the comic book character.
Would be lying though if I said I didnt have a fun time with the first movie.
And Harrelson as Kassady/Carnage? Marriage made in hell.
Im seeing it.

Big fan of Andy Serkis. Why not him given a break to direct some symbiotes and their shenanigans?
Weta Digital just uploaded this.

Did you see his Jungle Book movie? Not good.
I'm personally curious how this movies box office will do. I know the first film made nearly a billion and I'm wondering if people actually liked the film or if people just turned up because of it's name.

I thought the first one was entertaining for what it was. Granted I had low expectations going into it l, and know very little about comic book lore.

Domino is black now too, but are we really going to sit here and act like Shriek was a star player or memorable enough to care about who played her?
Considering her design is basically black leather with pale white skin.
It's very amusing
Doesn't mean the pale white skin and leather is off the cards though
Does make you question how they went about casting
It's like Prince Harry auditioning to be the next Black Panther

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I don't think it matters, I'm just curious what the audition process was.
Because it's never a free for all & best person gets the job, they go for a certain look, characteristics etc and the best of that gets the job.
You can apply but they always have a check list.
So what was theirs when they auditioned for the role.
I mean I wouldn't audition for Shaft and if I did I wouldn't get it.

Yeah, she was one of the more defining elements of Maximum Carnage and considering that they got Woody to play carnage it's obvious that dynamic made some sort of mark on someone at the studio too.

Come on, they even switched some character race in this and you like everything anyway, so I'm sure you'll love it.
The trailer looks alright, leaning into what worked in the first movie, but hopefully the next trailer will have a bit more action.

I agree she is a minor character. My question is why even cast the character in the first place? And why do such a shitty job with her look? Is it laziness or did they want to show they've got a black person a role? I think it's both. It's like they didn't even try. I don't have a problem with the actor being black or mixed as long as they fucking try to make it accurate to the source material.

Straight up having mouth open the trailer
Honestly they should have made a horror movie with venom instead of this boring venom vs venom shit that killed the first movie for me entirely.
Also after deadpool came out every single of those trailers is about "trying to be deadpool funny" which is getting really really old to the point its just cringe.
Not digging it, at all. Seems to have the same flaws at the first one which was so lackbusting i couldn't even care about the ending and just shut it off.

I liked the first one about as much as a low-middle tier Marvel film. Saw it at the theater with a friend and left in a good mood.
This doesn't look a whole lot better, but could surprise me if the story plays out in a more satisfying way. Carnage is a way better villain than the wet fart in the first movie. There's potential.

Seeing two cgi symbiote battle does not excite me in the least. Maybe if there was something else to attach myself to, but the light sprinkle of comedy/drama isn’t going to get me engaged in these characters, so the action would have to be show-stopping to entertain me.

Yup. The CGI looks really off to me. In the comics I always imagined the symbiote to be less viscous.
Watched about half of the last movie and thought it was meh, this doesn't look a whole lot better unfortunately, which sucks because Venom/Eddie Brock is such a cool character

Looks dumb just like the first movie...Venom was the best spiderman villain and hes been made into a joke in all the movies.
I was hoping the new marvel spiderman movie would finally get him in there done right but they never even introduced the black suit into the mcu ..yet
Venom in his movie is true to the character. a playful but deadly parasite. he has a big grin for a reason.

Looks way better than the first one, but why is the whole eddie vs venom arc still a thing tho, a whole movie worth of that already.

Agreed , my childhood idea on a big screen Venom movie was always straight up horror . It's something like a vicious Venom that haunt the shit out of Spidey , and then on top of that a demented Carnage which is even crazier.
Now we're getting kid movies with terrible CGI and corny ass dialogues sigh

Can't tell if serious, but...we'll never get Spider-Man as a "surprise" in blockbuster film. They'd be hyping it to hell and back.

They got Brock wrong though, and by extension his relationship with the symbiote.

Nice to see a sequel featuring an anti hero that’s based on Spider-Man, and a villain that looks even more like Spider-Man….. that has nothing to do with Spider-Man.
What a weird, fucked up mess superhero Hollywood is right now.
And don’t get me started on the thirty eight different fucking Batmans we’ve got coming down the pipe next year.

Hard to get Brock correctly though. he wasn't consistently portrayed in the comics. hardly any comics depiction would be work for a standalone protagonist movie role.

You got a point, I just think Hardys rendition is way too meek to be Eddie Brock.

In all fairness, they didn't "hype the hell out of it" for Civil War. I remember the trailers just showing small snippets of him.
*EDIT*
But yeah, I'll be annoyed if Tom Holland does show up in the film.

That counts, imo. Putting the character in the trailer and marketing vs keeping it a secret, is what I am getting at. Two very diff things.

Venom is nothing without Spiderman. They fucked it up by starting the franchise without linking it to Spidey.
That said and taking this as a completely new thing that doesn't really have a relation with the original character from the comics, it's fine as an action movie. At least the cast is well done.
Eddie Brock was also painted pretty meek in the original movie universe.
