So I got invited to a Venom 3 press screening last night. We had to submit our phones and other gadgets beforehand. Plus we were given a media embargo til tomorrow. Weird and not a huge fan of this franchise. Just supporting the wife. Anyway, thoughts.
I can tell you its the best of the franchise. But thats not really saying much. I forgot much of Venom 1 and fell asleep during Venom 2. It's better than Joker 2. I'll give it that.
And for it seemingly having 700 different characters, it was a whole lot easier to follow than that last Ghostbusters flick.
The film was basically hot potato between wacky Brock/Venom interplay and MASSIVE EXPOSITION DUMPS. You'd mistake it for a DC film almost.
You know you've just experienced high cinema when it ends on an unironic rememberance montage set to Maroon 5.
The did the whole IT'S THE FINAL VENOM film but not before setting up at least 2-3 potential spinoffs. Even a "Venom dies but wait a piece of him still exists!" But hey, if it leads to a Flash Thompson Agent Venom, I'd be down.
That's cool. Looking forward to it tbh
