Let There Be Carnage allowed itself to tap into human emotions without the manipulation of family friendly fanfare. Sure, it’s a simple cautionary tale of how far you will go but love but it is also bolstered by the power of friendship.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2024

The best of the series—crazy, fun, and full of Brock and Venom’s dynamic. Skipping heavy world-building lets us dive into their characters. Hits all the right notes!

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2024

Woody Harrelson as a serial killer makes for a great villain and Tom Hardy's portrayal at warring entities occupying one body continues to intrigue, but the story is underwhelming.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 23, 2024

When I saw the first movie’s end credits, I was not excited so maybe I should have known better than to buy a ticket, but the end credits for “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” are awesome.

| Jun 12, 2024

Director Andy Serkis gets enough support from Hardy and fills the screen with enough big explosions to make the end result fun.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 10, 2023

While still as messy as the first one, Carnage helps bring the nonsense to a fun and enjoyable time.

A random, insane, & entertaining comic book movie you would find buried in the back of a Home Video Store that you watch & go OH THIS IS COOL!

| Jul 26, 2023

It’s still a bizarre, messy and disjointed ride. But, despite its failings, it is a smile-inducing entry.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2023

While many sequels pale in comparison to their predecessors, you will be happy to know Venom: Let There Be Carnage bucks that trend, from the writing to the fight sequences, animation, and special effects.

Venom should be threatening first and foremost, with only the occasional hint of whimsy as a means of subversion. Never in my whole life have I wanted to see Venom flip pancakes or wear glow sticks at a rave. He's almost a parody of himself in this movie.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 7, 2023

The film fails to use Carnage effectively and seems like it would be better off without him.

| Aug 30, 2022

Some may be able to coast through the 93 minutes ignoring the movie’s glaring flaws. I wish I could. Instead I kept seeing glimpses of the movie I wish this had been.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 17, 2022

The comedy in Venom 2 Let there be carnage was great, until it wasn't

| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 15, 2022

It's knowingly absurd, boasts a self-aware lead and moves quickly — when the climax hits, it feels like everything before it breezed by — but Let There Be Carnage remains a slog.

| Aug 13, 2022

This sequel stands as a marked improvement in every department

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 12, 2022

Tom Hardy...if you are reading this...let me know if you need help. You don't have to keep doing this to yourself.

| Original Score: F- - - | Jun 9, 2022

This sequel is clearly in on the joke this time, but I'm still not entirely sure it's all that funny.

| May 30, 2022

Though Serkis brings more personality to the Brock/Venom dynamic, "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" is just as uneven as the first film and perhaps more annoying this time around than bland.

| Original Score: 4/10 | May 20, 2022

Venom: Let There Be Carnage is slight, but its a reminder that comic book films are also meant to be fun, entertaining and ridiculous

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 19, 2022

This Venom is content to be the messy, sweary older brother of the Spider-man franchise, reveling in the chaos and silliness. Neutrals will enjoy a comic book movie that doesnt take itself so seriously.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2022
