Venom 2 is a chaotic, but fun film that improves on the first film in every way.
The overall story line had some great humor, but I still have a problem with how Venom is written in this film. I really prefer how he was done in Spider-Man 3, as a cold blooded psychopath who enjoyed being evil. But, I felt this story line was not as generic, and didn't drag as much as the original did. Andy Serkis' direction was good as well.
The acting in this was about what you would expect. Woody Harrelson, in my opinion, knocked it out of the park with his performance. Naomi Harris also did a great job as Shriek. While I like Tom Hardy as Venom, I still dislike him as Eddie.
In terms of a sequel, they hinted that Detective Mulligan will become Toxin like in the comics. And with the post credits scene tying into Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, we now know how this ties into the MCU, and that Venom will be coming for Peter Parker very soon. It was pretty obvious that Dr. Strange casted the spell at the end.
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
