Movie Review – Venom

Let me start off by saying this isn’t my genre. I usually don’t do the Peetimes for these types of movies, since I’m not the target audience. However, I asked my brother to let me do it because I’m a huge Tom Hardy fan.

My husband is the target audience and he loved it. He thought it was funny and that they did a good job of getting Venom’s origins told. He feels the next one will be much better, since we won’t have to deal with the whole getting to know him thing. Tom Hardy was perfect for the role. He did an amazing job. Zero complaints there.

I felt that the first hour was boring. It dragged badly, and I couldn’t stand Michelle Williams as Anne. She was supposed to be Eddie’s (Tom Hardy) love interest. There was zero chemistry coming from her. Tom Hardy did a great job showing how badly he loved and needed her, but it most definitely wasn’t reciprocated by Williams. She just plain annoyed me.

The last thirty minutes of the movie really picked up speed, and that’s when the humor began. Once Venom was a part of Eddie, it was awesome. Now those two had chemistry! I was laughing and wishing there was more of the two of them…well, technically the one of them. I thoroughly enjoyed those moments.

We saw it in 3-D and really think it was worth it. We felt immersed throughout the entire movie; from start to end it was a cool effect. So I would definitely recommend seeing it in 3-D format.

So even with me feeling that the beginning dragged terribly, the absolute unlike for Williams performance, and it not being my type of movie, I’m still really looking forward to the next one.

This is a great app. I wish more people would support it

This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!

Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.

Grade: C+

About the Peetimes: When I went into the movie, I saw that it had a run time of 1 hour and 51 minutes. What I didn’t realize was that this movie has 18 minutes worth of credits. The actual length of the film is only 1 hour and 33 minutes. That said, I only put in 2 Peetimes. I think these will work well.
