What's most interesting in Phase 4 is there are barely any writers from previous films returning. They are all new minus Gunn.
Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely wrote six films between Phase 1 and Phase 3.
Not gonna lie. Really enjoyed that opening.
Can't be worse than the first movie.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Quite enjoyed the first movie.
Regardless of what you think of the movies, can we take a moment to marvel [hic] at how interesting it is that Hardy plays two of the biggest villains in both MCU and DC? And I don't feel shades of either performance feel similar or repeated. I think that's neat. (Yes okay Brock is anti-hero, but he's also very much a Spider-Man villain.)
Well at least they don't seem to be taking this too serious. (like they did the first movie)
I think it's even more interesting that he has cornered the market on characters who are barely intelligible when they speak.Quoting Skitch (view post)

You are not wrong! And yet I can't wait to see his next performance.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Hahah agreed.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
I liked Venom too. I think it was a nice throwback to '90s superhero movies where character development had a bigger role in the story.
Venom had character development?
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
The lighting is constantly so low in that trailer I found it difficult to tell if I was looking at Venom or Carnage.
Sure hope the whole movie isn't like that.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Yeah, man! It takes like forty minutes for him to go full Venom. Any modern blockbuster would be afraid to lose the audience and rush the special effects extravaganza in that time.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
I'm obviously not claiming it's Taxi Driver either.

Venom is down there with Suicide Squad as one of the worst mainstream blockbusters of the last 20 years. It is complete and utter shit. This trailer looks like more of the same.

Daredevil? Fantastic Four (x2)? Josstice League? Catwoman? Elektra? Batman & Robin?
Hardy is sexy in Venom.
Edit: .... He is sexy in everything

Huh, no. Suicide Squad is "barely coherent" bad. There's not a passable moment in all of it.Quoting transmogrifier (view post)
The fishbowl scene in Venom alone already makes it better.
Cheers, kuehnepips.
Catwoman was definitely worse than Venom. But they were both bad in a similar kind of way. Venom just had some bursts of fun now and then that Catwoman never possessed.

Am I alone in thinking it sounds like Hardy is doing some weird kind of Arnold Schwarzenegger impression with the Venom voice in this one?
It is still Hardy doing the voice, right?
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
I'm the king of lists, but even I don't have a list that ranks Daredevil. Fantastic Four. Catwoman. Elektra. Batman & Robin and Venom.
Why would I watch any of those?Quoting Skitch (view post)
[Actually, I have seen Justice League and Batman/Robin, and they are both shit, but not as shit as Venom and SS. But the latter is older than 20 years, so it doesn't count anyway ]

Well...if we're making lists of the worst comic book movies...you have to see the worst! (I knew you would bust me on the dates lol, I couldn't remember what year B&R came out (its still way worse than Venom .))Quoting transmogrifier (view post)
'97, the same year as Steel & Spawn, aka the absolute nadir of Hollywood Superhero movies; thank God that Blade came out the following year to start reversing the trend, eh?Quoting Skitch (view post)
Yeah no shit. Wasn't Spawn one of those that got taken away from the director, cut a ton, and reworked by producers? Its not a good film but Michael Jai White was a perfect casting and John Leguizamo slayed his role.Quoting StuSmallz (view post)
It's so odd, Florence Pugh is like the exact opposite of "my type", but I find her incredibly sexy.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
My bad! Still, I don't have a good feeling about that Black Widow clip, and its weightless action; hopefully the final film will still prove me wrong...Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
