Honestly, I had high hopes for this one even though it is a sequel. I was right to believe in the power of

Venom. 

Right off the bat, I have to give a huge shout-out to Cletus, Woody Harrelson, and Frances, Naomie Harris, as they are an amazing power couple. Both brought an enormous range of emotions to their relationship and as individual characters. They knew how they wanted their characters to come across and they were played perfectly. Even the smallest facial expression conveyed the love and craziness hidden below the surface. 

The plot was an interesting way to introduce a new symbiote without having more spaceships or astronauts involved. I am not familiar with the comics so I can not say for the accuracy, but it was a great overall storyline. The reveal of the Carnage character did not disappoint and lived up to his name beautifully. 

Tom Hardy, as last time, plays both Eddie and Venom perfectly. I could watch just the two of them hanging out for the day and have a great time. Michelle Williams, Anne, brings the human element and reacts understandably to the crazy situations they end up in. 

For those familiar with Marvel movies I highly recommend staying for the credits as there is a scene that ties in nicely with another familiar face. There is also a scene towards the end of the movie that seemed like a comic reference that just seemed out of place, but as I said it was clear it may be a reference so it was easy to accept as it may become clearer later. 

Final Thoughts:

This made a great addition to the Marvel Universe and seeing Venom is always a good time in this form. Tom was born to play this role, just like some of the other characters/actors we love. 

Score: 9 out of 10. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to see what comes next.


Always Keep Fighting. 

You Are Enough.

Teen Wolf: The Movie 2023

  Genre:  Drama, Fantasy, Mystery Rating:  TV-MA Synopsis:  A full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with it a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of Banshees, Werecoyotes, Hellhounds, Kitsunes, and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a Werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced. Being a huge fan of the TV show I was looking forward to this as I was intrigued as to what my favorite supernatural beings were up to and what they would face.  Honestly, for the villain of the story, I was somewhat confused by the choice, especially with the fact that the character highly connected to it in many ways, was missing entirely. Now I know that not all actors want to return for a follow-up, whether it be a sequel or whatever, however with this...

Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous - Season 5 - Netflix Original

Image
Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure, Family, Science Fiction Rating: TV PG Synopsis: Teens attending an adventure camp on the opposite side of Isla Nublar must band together to survive when dinosaurs wreak havoc on the island. Previous seasons do need to be watched to understand the relationships between the group and what they've been through so far.  If you've seen the Jurassic World movies, including the most recent it will add some missing details but it's not necessary to watch them before.  I would recommend watching the Jurassic World Dominion movie before the last episode so that some revelations during the show will make sense and will avoid spoilers if you haven't seen the movie.  Season 5 is the last season so it had high expectations to finish with a bang and wrap up any loose ends. With a total of  12 episodes, this time around I did think it was the perfect amount, with the exception of Episode 5 which I thought was pretty much a filler.  Worse: ...

Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi 2022

Disney Plus Mini-Series  Genre: Action, Adventure, Science Fiction Rating: TV 14 Synopsis:  Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi watches over young Luke Skywalker and evades the Empire's elite Jedi hunters during his exile on the desert planet Tatooine. The trend of only a few episodes for an entire season continues. This show had only 6 episodes and, unlike Stranger Things, these are very short ones at that. The first episode is the longest at around 50 minutes and it is the only one that long.  On the upside, there are great creatures and each actor brought their A-game to the show. The storyline also worked well and for the most part, it flowed very well.  Bad writing made it suffer greatly. As in the same exact sentence from the same character at least 3 times for the same situation. Another example is interrogating a small child under 12 years old as they are bound to have the best intel on rebels. Really writers? I mean come on.  Sadly the epic moments we were wait...
