12. Venom: Let There Be Carnage
In this sequel to 2018's Venom, Tom Hardy returns as Eddie Brock who is doing his best to relaunch his career which he hopes to do so by interviewing serial killer Cletus Kassidy. When Cletus takes a literal bite out of Eddie, he ends up absorbing part of the Venom symbiote giving birth to Carnage in the process.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage was quite the rollercoaster ride, one that was full of ups and downs. On the high side, the dynamic between Eddie and Venom was just as quirky and entertaining as ever. Their banter provided some real laughs and kept the energy up throughout the movie reminding us how perfect Hardy is in the title character.
Woody Harrelson's portrayal of Cletus Kasady/Carnage brought a whole new level of chaos and intensity to the mix, with some chilling moments but if I'm being honest Carnage felt a bit... underwhelming.
We were all hyped up for this big, bad symbiote showdown, but it kind of fell short with the character development for Carnage feeling rushed, and the stakes didn't quite hit home like they should've. We had a perfect setup but the movie didn't quite stick the landing. Still, it's a fun ride just not quite as fun as the first film was.
