Hyde and a buddy comedy, with Hardy’s journalist Eddie Brock uncomfortably sharing his body with the perpetually hungry alien symbiote Venom, having worked out a system to control his ornery guest – who keeps making demands like “Let me eat him!” – by simply saying, “You live in my body, you live by my rules.” In expanding on the original, the heart of the film becomes a weird cross between Dr. Serkis’ dexterity in the realm of motion-capture performances doesn’t translate into this endeavor, as the movie essentially pummels the audience for 90-some-odd minutes.
Tom Hardy produced and shares story credit in addition to starring in this follow-up to the 2018 film, with Andy Serkis sliding into the director’s seat, having previously helmed the effects-heavy “Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle.” Although this falls under the Sony umbrella, it represents most toothless enterprise under Marvel’s banner since its cinematic march began in 2008.
Two head-chomping symbiotes aren’t better than one in “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” a mind-numbingly tiresome sequel, filled with uninspired comedy and a CGI monster fight that seems to drag on forever.
