Tonight on TV: Rated 1.7/5, this is officially one of the worst superhero movies ever

Directed by Ruben Fleischer, Venom is one of the most anticipated blockbusters of 2018. Indeed, the Tom Hardy-starrer is the first to explore the genesis of one of the Marvel galaxy’s most famous anti-heroes: Eddie Brock, a journalist who adopts a supernatural identity after being exposed to a symbiote.

Despite the bad reviews poison It’s a real hit. With a budget of 60 million dollars, it earned 856 million worldwide. In France, more than 2 million viewers go to the cinemas to see it.

The post-credits scene introduces serial killer Cletus Cassady, aka Carnage, a new adversary that Venom faces in the second installment of the franchise. A rival played by Woody Harrelson, whose performance echoes the one he gave in Natural Born Killers.

After the unavailability of Ruben Fleischer, who preferred to focus on returning to Zombie, Sony met with several directors to pick up the torch. Andy Serkis, known for his work in motion capture, was eventually chosen.

Due out in 2021, Venom: Let There Be Carnage earned $506 million at the worldwide box office, including $1.6 million in France, on a $110 million budget. Despite this success in theaters, the film struggles to convince – resulting in an average press rating of 1.7/5 on AlloCiné.

“senseless“(Პirveli), “Stupid and vulgar“(Latest News from Alsace),”A giant joke” (open screen), “A complete failure“(L’Ecran Fantastique) can be read among the critics. As for the audience, the enthusiasm is not very high, as evidenced by its average rating of 2.1/5.

However, nothing is stopping the Sony studio from continuing the adventures of the famous symbiote, because the third part of Venom is indeed ready, which will be released in 2024!
