I personally was disappointed and kind of expected to be. I said to myself before this film that I don't like the buddy cop dynamic between Venom and Eddie and it is like the main focal point for the film. I think some of the jokes landed here and there and it would get a chuckle out of me here and there but otherwise, I just felt it was cringy for me personally. I know a lot of people love it so I can understand why you would like this film if you liked the first one. I just felt like Carnage felt like a complete B plot sprinkled in this movie just to have his name on it. But there was some awesome stuff whenever Carnage and Venom were on screen I was really into it so overall I would just give this an average 6/10 for me.
I would change the opening scene for the movie, that was the worst imo. I really think it would have been ore enjoyable if t maybe had an R rating, not really James Gunn's The Suicide Squad R, but just as in more suspense. I thought they perfected Cletus's origin in that awesome drawing animation. It definitely could have been better, but I really enjoyed it.
8.5-9/10
