Venom : Movie Review

Venom : Movie Review

If you have been a die hard marvel superhero movie fan the name Venom won’t sound new to you. Well, Venom is one of the super villains Spider-Man had to deal with in the early stages of his superhero career. Marvel has taken it upon themselves to tell us stories from the villain’s side.

The story is about Eddie Brock, an investigative news reporter who later on became Venom. The movie started with a spaceship crashing to the eart containing alien specimens layer known to be “Symbiote”. One of the specimens got out of containment unfortunately and took a human as host.

Eddie got an interview with Carlton Drake, the owner of Life Foundation and the owner of the spaceship that crashed, someone who Eddie’s fiance Anne indirectly works for. On the night before his interview with Drake, Eddie finds information concerning legal cases to Life Foundation on Anne’s laptop which got him and Anne fired from their jobs just after the interview. This broke their relationship.

Six months later, Mr. Drake has begun trials using human subjects recovered from the crash while the missing specimen was out there taking more humans as host as it couldn’t find a stable body. The test with humans were failing and these subjects dies, Dr. Skirth who works for Drake becomes uncomfortable and reaches out to Eddie to expose their operations.

Their quest got haywire as Eddie sees Maria, a woman who he buys paper from, used as a guinea pig for their experiment. In trying to save her, Maria passes on the symbiote to Eddie, a compatible host for the alien specimen.

Drake security guards finds put about Eddie and Dr. Skirth co-op and uses the doctor as a test subject while Eddie is being chased all over the city. By this time, Eddie has bonded with Venom while Drake has the lost specimen in him with the name Riot.

The showdown between the two aliens, Venom and Riot took place as Drake intends to bring more aliens to earth with tbe spaceship. Riot and Drake blows up in the spaceship but Eddie somehow survived with Venom.

Three Things You Shouldn’t Miss

1. After Eddie’s last conversation with Anne, a man walking past him said these words “Don’t give upon her, either of you.” This means that somehow he knows Eddie is Venom and knows Venom is still alive or he’s talking about Eddie and Anne”s new boyfriend Dan. The question is, who’s the man?

2. Apart from the man in 1 above, only Mrs. Chen,the store owner knows Eddie to be Venom. What part will she play next?

3. On Eddie’s visit to San Quentin Prison, he interviews “Red” a serial killer who promises carnage after he breaks out. Another question, who is Red? And what role will he play on the next screen?

Finally, can someone remind me how Spider-man defeated Venom again? 🙁 and how did Eddie become a villain?
