The whole premise looks pretty wack imo and doesn’t follow the original story does it?

Wasn’t Eddie Brock an astronaut who got infected by venom in space and then brought it back?

This whole thing about some coprooration in a lab and infecting him seems like it’s jist gonna he some typical drawn out boring marvel movie

i thought they were going to go the Agent Venom route after seeing tom hardy was cast...but guess not

IIRC

how it goes is that after spiderman free'd himself from the symbiote (aka venom) - it found the host eddie brock

since it took spiderman as its first host - it also took in the powers that spiderman had as well.. well in a sense it mimic'd it

eddie brock was a reporter same as peter parker

In the cartoon, Venom caught a ride on a shuttlecraft, that's how it got to earth.

IMO this actor playing Venom is way better than the first one in the movies.

this venom is another arc

so it doesnt follow the whole space thing
cuz then u need to tie into spiderman.

and this movie exists outside of that

Looks like a total flop.

i don't like how venom is poised to start attacking bad guys,i thought in the comic's that crazy mo fucka was robbing banks and stealing peter parkers girlfriend just for fun.

but you know i guess super hero' movies are selling in the box office,so lets make a anti-hero a good guy.

in the comics spiderman found the symbiote in the "secret wars" saga somewhere in space and brought it back with him.

Took it to Mr Fantastic and found out it was trying to bound with him. They caged it, it escaped and it found Eddie Brock

DYK: the Venom and Carnage symbiotes had a baby named Toxin

Trying to follow Deadpool it looks like. A "good" bad guy. When in reality he was just a bad guy. Guess you can't market bad guys though. To the purists, this is gonna be sub par, but to the casual will be ok I guess.

Berz out.

Yay, another superhero movie ... [/sarcasm]

They should've just made it into a action/horror like predator. Bunch of soldiers and scientists get sent to a military base that's been locked down. Eddie gets a tip and in an attempt to rebuild his career, sneaks into the base. Chaos ensues and everyone dies. Final clip is a silhouette of spiderman swinging into the base.

That's a pretty decent plot that I'd watch IF I had no idea it was supposed to be in the Marvel universe (hard to do since Marvel likes to flaunt that their movie is Marvel)

It'd be better if we the audience had no idea that it was a Venom movie, much like how Split

Spoiler!

Like you said, military science base with some solders "cleaning up the mess" only to get killed. Movie follows Eddie around as he investigates and avoids the shadow killing all of these solders.

Climax is Eddie getting got by the shadow. But instead of getting killed, he goes through his transformation as he shrinks down out of the camera's view. Venom's face rises up from screen bottom. SCREEN TO BLACK

Why aren't people like us screenwriters.

infect's spider man at the very end.

Nah, Venom was originally an anti-hero. He had it out for Spiderman/Peter Parker because he thought he was cheated out of stuff, but ultimately Brock was someone who basically wanted to do good. At least in original canon. And that's what I'm assuming they're basing this movie off of.
