Venom (2018) - There was a moment in this movie about halfway through when I thought it might actually turn into something not half bad. Venom has invaded Tom Hardy and has made his presence and intentions fully known. What a cool and new idea, a superhero who was in direct conflict with his eccentrically sentient powers. But the relationship between Brock and Venom is given mere lip service at best. Motivations in this film are practically nonexistent across the board, so I guess it shouldn’t have been a surprise to me that this dynamic was squandered and given a completely unearned resolution. Thankfully, Hardy’s frankly bizarre performance provides enough enjoyment to keep this whole affair from being a complete disaster. C
And how was the surgery, Mr. Lincoln?
