Here is My Movie Review of Venom Let There Be Carnage 

Now when it comes to the first Venom film I really enjoyed it. I think the storyline was really fun and really entertaining, and the performances  were really awesome, especially from Tom Hardy as both Eddie Brock and Venom. So what do I think of this film? Well I got to say it's even better than the first filming because it focuses on the relationship between Venom and Eddie Brock even more than the first one did. 

Now the storyline I got to say is really incredible because it takes place after the first movie Venom and Eddie Brock are not getting along they are arguing though Venom decides to ditch Eddie and bond to other people. Then you have this deranged serial killer named Cletus Kasady who is obsessed with Eddie and wants his life story to be redhead and after a bit of altercation at the prison Cletus bites Eddie and abandon symbiote gets inside of him and he becomes them of dangerous send me out known as Carnage and he wants to get married to Francis Barrison Aka Shake. So it's up to Eddie Brock and Venom to take down Carnage and Shrake and fix their friendship and that's basically what the story is for this film. I have to say the storyline of this movie is a lot better than the storyline in the first film because this one develops more of the characters and the story is a lot bigger in scale. 

Now the performance  in this movie are actually a lot better than they were in the first film because I feel like the performance in the first film were awesome but I feel like in this one the actor that we stepped it up and some of them actually have a lot more to do than they did in the first film especially one actor in particular. 

Tom Hardy comes back to play both Eddie Brock and Venom In the film and his performance is still tremendous because you can tell that Tom Hardy is still into playing these characters and I would say that he did even better in this film than he was in the first film. Now Eddie Brock as the character i have to say is a lot better than they were than the first film because in this film he is clearly trying to set rules for Venom tell him what he can and cannot eat and he wants to try to fix him and Venom's friendship And wants to take down Carnage and Shrake. The scenes with Eddie Brock are incredible whether it is him interviewing Cletus Cassidy or him telling Venom to get out of his house it does lead to some really intense and some really funny moments throughout the film. Now Venom as a character is incredible because in this film he wants to be cared for and wants attention and you can understand why he ditched Eddie because he treated him like garbage but  eventually comes back to help Eddie take down Carnage. Now the scenes with Venom are really fun and really entertaining whether it is the scene of Venom giving Eddie the middle finger or him telling Eddie that they have to go because it is the red one. It does lead to some really funny and some really entertaining moments throughout the film. The chemistry between him and Naomi Harris,  Michelle Williams,  Woody Harrelson is terrific. 

Michelle Williams Comes back as Anne Now even though she doesn't play a big role in the film like she did in the first film she is still really fun and really entertaining as this character. Now Anne is just as fun and entertaining as she was in the first film and this one she's engaged to another guy and she wants Eddie Brock to support her and make her happy. The scenes with Anne are really entertaining whether it is her telling Eddie that she's engaged to another guy or her telling Venom that he needs to make up with Eddie. It does lead to some really fun and emotional moments in the film. The chemistry between her and Tom Hardy is incredible. 

Naomi Harris plays Francis Barrison/Shake In the film and her performance is probably one of the over-the-top and probably the most fun performance in the entire film because you can tell that she is having a lot of fun in this film. Now the character of Francis Barrison/Shake is really incredible because you can tell right from the start that she does have feelings towards Cletus Kassidy and she wants to marry him but Carnage wants to kill her. The scenes with Francis Barrison/Shake are terrific whether it is the theme of her meeting Carnage for the first time or her bonding with Cletus Kasidy it does lead to some really awesome and really suspenseful moments in the film. The chemistry between her and Tom Hardy is excellent.

However the absolute big standout of the entire film is Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasidy and Carnage. His performance is probably the best performance of the entire film because you're going to tell that Woody Harrelson is having the time of his life playing these characters. Now the character of Cletus Kasidy is just like how he was in the comic, he is a  deranged serial killer but you do kind of feel bad for him because he really cares for Francis Barrison/Shake and wants to marry her and live a happy life with her. But Carnage wanted to kill her because of the fact that he and Carnage are not symbiotic; they didn't bond it together like Eddie and Venom did in the first movie. The scenes with  Cletus Cassidy are really tremendous whether it is him and Shriek preparing to be married or him telling Carnage  not to kill shrink and it does lead to some really intense and nail biting moments in the film. Now Carnage as a character is just like how he is in the comics. He is a really evil symbiote who enjoys killing people and his motivation is that he wants to kill Venom and Eddie. Also the CGI on Carnage worked really awesome especially when he turned his limbs into weapons. The themes with Carnage are probably some of my favorite moments in the film. Whether it is him breaking out of Ravencroft prison or him trying to kill Shrek it does lead to some really horrifying and suspenseful moments in the film. Also the Rivalry between him and Venom is really accurate to the comics because in the comics they fight a lot to the death because Carnage is a lot more evil than Venom. Fun fact Actors like Shia LaBeouf, Ben Foster, Matthew Lillard, Matthew McConaughey, Keanu Reeves, Jessica Chastain, Michael C Hall, Alan Tudyk, Jim Carrey, David Harbor, Sam Rockwell, Keanu Reeves, Tom Hardy, Woody Harrelson, Willem Dafoe, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bill Skarguard, and Robert England were all considered to voice Carnage. The chemistry between him and Tom Hardy is perfect. 

    Now let's talk about the directing by Andy Serkis and this is really interesting because this is the same director who directed Mowgli London on The Jungle which was a really awesome adaptation of the Jungle Book. So how did he do direct in this film well I have to say he did a terrific job directing this film because what I really like about his directing that he did a glorious job of adapting Cletus Kasidy and Carnage because both of them are deranged serial killers because Cletus Cassidy with a serial killer ever since he was the little kid and carnage with and really evil symbiote I did like how he changed it up where they are not symbiotic so that was a really awesome change to the character. I only liked how he developed more of Eddied and Venom Bigger than this film. They are having relationship problems, they are constantly arguing and they have to fix their friendship. I thought that was a really interesting idea and I think he pulled it off really well. So overall I think he did a terrific job directing this film. Now I do find it funny that after the film was  released Andy Serkis will go on to voice the overarching villain Knull In Venom The Last Dance. 

    So in conclusion I really enjoyed this film because it took everything I liked about the first Venom film and made it better. I like the storyline evolving around Brock and Venom trying to fix their friendship but you also had Cletus Kasidy trying to get married to shrink because he really loved her. I also think the performances are really awesome but check away from both Tom Hardy who is always great as both Eddie and Venom and Woody Harrelson who steal the show as Cletus Kasidy and Carnage. I also think the action sequences were really good. The final battle I will say was better than the climax in the first Venom film. The first movie had a really good climax but this one is a lot better. I think this film is up there with Shang Chi As one of the best movies of 2021. I also think that this film is up there with eternals as one of my favorite films of 2021. I highly recommend you watch the film especially if you enjoy the first Venom film which starred Tom Hardy. I give this film a 10/10.
