Oof, reading some of the minor spoiler-y reviews makes this movie seem pretty terrible. Some gay shit going on which is so stupid in a comic book movie. PG-13 sounds like it pretty much ruins it, how the fuck do you do a carnage movie without any carnage lol
i'll watch when its free on VOD in 45 days or w/e but i expect something worse than the first one, which wasn't very good, just goofy

I would give it a 4/10, although I'd only give the first one a 5/10.
Was my sons 13th birthday today, and he wanted to have 5 friends over (3 boys 2 girls) to watch Venom at our house, and then go see this right after. So, 4 hours of Venom for me today haha. All the kids (except the 1 youngest boy, who was 11) liked the first one better. My son said "I felt like half the movie was just Venom and Eddie arguing with each other like little kids, and then there was only like 1 cool fight scene and the movie was over." Which isn't totally right, but yeah, not totally wrong either.
Overall it was fine for what it was, I only laughed once, but smiled a couple of times at borderline funny bits. I wouldn't recommend spending over $100 taking a bunch of kids to see it >_<.

Found the movie to be really weak cinematically: prob could have condensed it all to a 30 - 45 min TV episode. Fun effects and fighting, but story-wise, just felt that nothing changed and was empty.
Didn't like that Carnage isn't directly addressed as the offspring of Venom, one could mistake it as a metaphorical example.
Carnage is also not merged with his suit, which I thought would have helped differentiate him from Venom (Venom should be merged at this point too, but whatever) Carnage being physical bigger than Venom at certain points I found to be stylistically bad.

The best part of this film was the midcredits scene which brings Venom into the multiverse. if that scene were on Youtube for $5, that would have been a better deal.
The scene is far better at building questions for the sequels (why does the symbiote seem to want to kill Spider-man) than any actual scene from the film itself.
I have a feeling, after No Way Home, Venom will be the only character who knows Spider-man's secret identity. Probably get an after credits scene where Spider-Man thinks it's all over, then someone taps him on the shoulder. He turns around and it's Venom who says "Hello, Parker(calling back to "Hello Peter)." as the white spider symbol forms on his chest.

I didn't watch the first movie because the venom that showed up in the spiderman movie didn't interest me. But this was pretty good. Was the first one funny like this too?
Can someone explain the red one shit? "Oh shit it's a red one, we're fucked!"
I know nothing about the franchise but I picked up on that, so I'm not sure what you mean. They said it 3 or 4 times when they first met and even clarified that "No really he is my father (to differentiate between him and the priest). So like what more was there to convey?

Your point is that a re-release in a very limited amount of theaters made less money is proof of anything?
GTFO with that retarded argument

There was no point bro. It was a question. You could make a case that the top end for a PG13 only release would be the R release plus the PG13 release. That's why I was wondering how it did. To see if it was significant. Obviously it wouldn't be exactly that because i'm sure some people went to see the second one just to see what they had to do to get the rating.
If it was limited, then I wonder how it did in those limited theaters compared to the R release in the same theaters. I'm sure someone has that info but it's probably not available to us.

If you're asking me for an detailed analysis, I don't have one for you.
What I can tell you is that a very limited re-release 2 years after an initial run won't give information that can be reliably extrapolated into anything meaningful

is that the biggest opening weekend this year? Spidey 3 is going to be huge. add Ghostbusters 3 in there and Sony is making bank this year.
Compared to other releases yeah, but when you think of how much these cost to make I don't ever get how they don't wind up losing money hand over fist.

all these movie companies are deep into debt. even Disney is in the red by many billions of dollars.
