While critics gave it mostly bad reviews, even calling it “the worst Marvel-derived origin story ever,” moviegoers rushed to the theaters to watch it. Venom ended up making $855 million at the box office and got propelled to No.5 on the list of highest grossing movies of 2018.

All of this caught the attention of the crew behind the YouTube channel Screen Junkies, who decided to use Venom as the topic of the latest entry in their hugely popular series Honest Trailers.

The Venom honest trailer mostly serves as an entertaining and funny look at the movie which has plenty of both good and bad aspects. It praises and criticizes Hardy’s performances, makes fun of romantic scenes and much more.

With that being said, there are several solid arguments made in the trailer, including the one that says Venom should be an R-rated movie given the history of the character and the dark tone of its comics. On the other hand, the movie was an absolute hit, so PG-13 was definitely the right choice from a financial standpoint.

One thing is sure, however: Whether you liked the film or not, you’ll love its honest trailer. Check it out below.

Even though critics are trashing Venom, the audience is still buying tickets and going to see this Tom Hardy-starred feature. The reason for that is good word of mouth, since casual moviegoers are not nitpicking Venom or trying hard to find its flaws. They just want to have great fun when they go to the cinema, and this movie provides precisely that.

Don’t get us wrong. Venom is filled with flaws and question marks, starting from the thin plot to an unconvincing performance by some members of the cast. The first part of the movie is unnecessarily stretched, and it looks like someone realized this at one point and then tried to speed up the story all of a sudden. This compensation caused a bit of an unnatural transition which probably won’t bother lot of people.

For people who don’t need complex stories, perfect directing or iconic performances from actors to have a satisfying movie experience, Venom is a must-watch film. Despite being far from perfect, the movie is simply fun. It has great visual effects, tons of action and really smart humor. Also, Tom Hardy delivers an inspired performance as Eddie Brock, especially when he is leading talks in his head with symbiote Venom.

We recommend that you don’t pay much attention to the plot details and question how something happened since you’ll discover a lot of holes. Instead, lean back, put your brain to rest and just get immersed in the experience that Venom offers. This way you’ll get your money’s worth and much more while looking forward to the planned sequels.

Digital Spy harshly said:

“It takes a long time for things to really get going and for Venom to appear in the black, gooey flesh. At that point, what plodded along as a dour science fiction thriller switches to an odd mix of horror and buddy comedy. But even that can’t stick, switching between serious, head-devouring action and silly comedy at whiplash speed. The tone of this movie is all over the place, and it’s the inconsistencies rather than the absence of Tom Holland in a starring role that are Venom‘s real problem.”

Variety compared the movie to The Mummy, which received an embarrassing 15% on Rotten Tomatoes. They said:

“Venom is a textbook case of a comic-book film that’s unexciting in its ho-hum competence, and even its visual-effects bravura. Make no mistake: The effects can be dazzling. The alien matter splattering itself around like random tentacled liquid, the way Venom cross-breeds Spider-Man’s skyscraper-hopping agility with the Hulk’s dynamo destructiveness — it’s all diverting eye candy. But to what end? This gateway into the Sony Universe of Marvel Characters (get ready: there are 90!) may not sputter as badly as Tom Cruise’s The Mummy, but it could turn out to be a similar case of a franchise kickoff that doesn’t fully attain franchise liftoff.”

The Guardian also gave the feature a pitiful one star and described it as “uninspired” and “riddled with the poison of dullness”.

Venom is out at cinemas now but by the sounds of it, it’s not even worth the ticket price.
