I think Batman vs Superman generally killed off my excitement for anymore 'superhero' films and the reaction to suicide squad (which I haven't seen yet) even more so.

You'd think they'd wait for some feedback on Homecoming first, it's not as if any of the other spiderman movies have been any good.

Not another ludicrous superhero film. Getting sick of this glut.

Has massive potential if done right.

I got sick of superhero films years ago. They're all exactly the same, with the exception of maybe Deadpool which dared to be a little different. It's just easy money, isn't it...

Quite liked the Spidermen movies, both Maguire and Garfield.

Not that much of a Hardy fan though.

I believe the young uns are calling it 'superhero-porn' fix

Anyhow big disappointment the new Venom film is set in the Sony Marvel universe not the existing Sony/Marvel universe ie spiderman and Avengers.
Its quite sad to see companies holding onto dear life and not sharing the universe properly with 20th century Fox being the worst culprits, its no wonder why
Marvel has pretty much stopped fantastic four comics (due to low sales) and pretty much stalled on the X-men or Mutant universe and more emphasis on Avengers and other marvel owned characters.

I don't know if you realise this, but they aren't compulsory viewing! Meaning that you don't have to watch them if you don't like that sort of thing.

Pretty sure it's a standalone film and Spiderman isn't in it.

Your second point really is a matter of opinion, not fact.

The first two Maguire ones were good, especially the second. Everything since then has been terrible.

Venom and Carnage are my favourite super heroes/villains.

This has been in the pipeline for decades to be honest.

The amazing spiderman films wernt too bad, quite enjoyed them to be fair. Tom hardy will do venom justice and should be good.

Better than I thought it'd be so far, Not be long before the proper trailer drops and Tom Hardy has his face covered as is tradition.

chroniclard · 8 Feb 2018 at 15:57

Not really got much knowledge of venom but looks like it might be decent.

PlacidCasual · 8 Feb 2018 at 16:34

I remember reading Secret Wars and Spiderman, with him under the bells to remove the symbiote, how do you have a Venom without Spiderman in the creation story? Are we imagining they will de-Spiderman Venom as a character entirely?

VincentHanna · 8 Feb 2018 at 16:36

Tom Hardy is always very good really.

Except maybe in Nemesis. Nothing could help that steaming turd.

Not Marvel, will be sceptical until reviews
