I can't necessarily pinpoint his style, but like his approach on 'Mowgli,' he has a great eye for detail in both character aesthetics and worldbuilding. Serkis' directing itself deserves some praise too. Then there's Harrelson as Carnage and he absolutely delivers! Absolutely taking a few cues from Heath Ledger's Joker, Harrelson is leaning just enough into campy territory to be charismatic, but never letting us forget the absolutely shattered malicious mind controlling the spaghetti wrap of CGI.

Hardy has a great grasp on what buttons to push for both, especially Venom, who has to spend a chunk of the movie contending with losing Eddie altogether and find their own unique purpose (among other things, what is essentially Venom's "coming out" moment that actually finds some weight in all the jokes). If you were a fan of Eddie's anxious sense of loss, or the back-and-forth between he and the overly eccentric Venom, you are going to love this movie. Speaking of which, it's because of Serkis/Marcel's efforts that Tom Hardy shines even more this time. Even when the film is going for pure, outrageous humor, it never forgets the qualms between Eddie and Venom should be at the center beyond the obvious comic book-y exhibitions.

Serkis and screenwriter Kelly Marcel know exactly where to take the story and how to frame both Eddie and Venom's journeys against the looming threat of Carnage. 'Let There Be Carnage' is only around 15 minutes shorter than the first film and somehow it makes all the difference. So what made me completely switch gears this time around? There's a couple reasons, but first and foremost is the pacing. It's up to Eddie and Venom to put aside their differences to stop Carnage's rampage, as well as Frances Barrison (played by Naomi Harris), Kasady's longtime girlfriend whose sonic scream abilities pose a threat to both Venom and Carnage. When Kasady is executed, the new symbiote awakens, merging with Kasady into a bloody, far more violent incarnation known as Carnage. During their final meeting, Kasady bites Eddie, imprinting part of Venom onto Kasady. His interview with Kasady (played by Woody Harrelson) leads to Eddie uncovering the killer's victims and confirming Kasady's execution.

Things change when Eddie is contacted by Detective Pat Mulligan (played by Stephen Graham), who says that the serial killer Cletus Kasady will talk only with Eddie regarding his string of murders. While both are aligned in their attempts to reconcile with Eddie's ex-fiancé Anne (played by Michelle Williams), Eddie is more concerned with improving his reporting career, while Venom is more concerned with finding a bad guy for a tasty meal. I won't pretend that I loved it by any stretch, but while 'Let There Be Carnage' still features some of its predecessor's shortcomings, there's also a tightness, consistency and self-awareness that's more prevalent this time around in other words, it's significantly more fun!Ī year after the events of the first film, Eddie Brock (played by Tom Hardy) is struggling with sharing a body with the alien symbiote, Venom (also voiced by Hardy). Now with a year-long pandemic delay behind it, 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' is finally here, did it change my jaded little mind about the character's big-screen worth? Surprisingly, it kind of did. For that only means, we were lucky enough to love. We are so lucky to have the ability and courage to suffer, to grieve, and to wish for a better ending. We as humans are so lucky to meet so many people that will one day leave us. We adapt to the way they talk, we make them a part of our Instagram passwords, we remember when they told us to cook chicken for 20 minutes instead of 30. For everything we've deeply loved, we cannot lose.
One day we will remember that losing someone isn't about learning how to live without them, but to know their presence, and to carry what they left us behind. Change in our love life or our families, change in our friendships and daily routines. That ache in our heart and the deep pit in our stomach means there was something there to fill those vacant voids. To remember those warm embraces, to remember the feeling of their lips on yours, and to remember the smile on their face when you said something funny.īut why are we so afraid of loss after all? We are so blessed to have experienced it to begin with. The reality is that even if we were privileged with one more, we would want another. Can I have one more kiss? Just one more laugh we can share? We wish for these experiences to just happen once more as if that would ever be enough. Oftentimes, when we experience loss, we beg for the "one mores".
An uncontrollable, spirling feeling you feel coming up your throat.
Just like human beings.Ī loss sends us into a spiral. What a scary meaning for such a small word.
