VENOM Social Media Reactions Compare The Movie To CATWOMAN And FANTASTIC FOUR

The embargo has lifted on social media reviews following last night's Venom premiere and, well, the response has not been good! Despite faint praise for some aspects, the movie sounds like a disaster...

As most fans have predicted, it sounds like Venom sucks as the first reactions have been revealed following last night's premiere and they're all pretty bad. Tom Hardy's performance is (mostly) praised but it sounds like a very weird movie and one which would have fit in a little better in the mid-2000s when superhero movies were mostly terrible. Given Avi Arad's involvement, that's no great surprise.

There are no spoilers here but we do get plenty of details about what to expect in terms of the movie's tone and the comparisons to movies like Hulk, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, and Catwoman come thick and fast. That's not good and while early box office projections are looking good, those plummeting during the second weekend will obviously result in it being a major commercial disappointment.

Meh, I'll still go see it for the Hardy/Symbiote dynamic. Plus that post-credits scene ;)

@L0RDbuckethead - Which is why we'll get a million of these from Morbius to Kraven, because people went to see Venom despite all the warning signs because hey, it has Venom and Woody Harrelson in a red wig.

Well anyone really surprised by these reactions? They might be right, but it never looked like the type of movie critics would like.

@Urubrodi - Welp. Guess I’m not gonna see this one in theaters. SONY IS AT IT AGAIN!!!

@Urubrodi - And dont get me wrong. I wanted to see this. Can’t stand that it’s not tied to Spidey and obviously a soulless attempt at creating a franchise Sony can call all their own. From Spider-Man 3 on it’s been greedy studio heads making crappy, awful Spider-Man movies (CLEARLY not talking MCU influenced Tom Hardy).

@SanFranLand - I guess it may be for the best, but I like the character though, so in case the movie is indeed bad, it's a bit disappointing. But reviews aside, what will matter is the box office.

@Urubrodi - totally agree, numbers speak louder than words. the 1st TMNT was terrible but the opening weekend gross made Paramount green-light a sequel right away. but if Sony doesn't listen to the negative reaction and get a new creative team for the sequel....it's going to flop like TMNT Out of the Shadows. It's hard to get people back if the previous one sucks, Justice League is an example of numerous failures that lead to the audience giving up on a franchise.

@mastakilla39 - with all this negativity 3 days before it's released and Tom Hardy already distancing himself from the project, then I highly doubt there's gonna be a sequel, let alone a universe
