Tom Hardy: *confused and disoriented, climbing into a tank of lobsters to snatch them up and snack on them, all in a public restaurant in front of his ex-fiancé*
1. This movie is hilarious. I’m glad I didn’t see any of the trailers before watching it, because they’re both objectively terrible, and terribly inaccurate about the movie’s tone. The studio was clearly trying to market it as some kind of cynical grimdark thriller (and in the process just made it look overwrought and boring). But regardless of the movie they set out to make, the movie they have is a gleefully over-the-top action-comedy sprinkled with kinky undertones that the movie leans into a lot harder than you might expect from a PG-13 four-quadrant franchise installment.
Nothing about this movie is subtle, and that’s part of what makes it enjoyable. Tom Hardy does a full-on physical comedy routine interacting with a blob of CGI goo with teeth, and somehow makes it work. The symbiote itself is a constantly hungry insult comic with tentacles, and you get the sense that at least most of the people involved in this project (if not the studio marketing department) understand that this is supposed to be funny and weird and are just going for it. Scene that ends with Eddie climbing into a lobster tank? Went for it. Monster kiss? Went for it. Venom’s very serious and not at all suggestive tongue:
