Critics Consensus

A sequel aimed squarely at fans of the original's odd couple chemistry, Venom: Let There Be Carnage eagerly embraces the franchise's sillier side.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

It's all very weird, and yet not half-weird enough. Strained edginess mingles with strained sentiment, and also with gags that would make your great-grandfather roll his eyes.

Rated: 2/5

Thrillist

At a tight 90 minutes, Serkis' sequel doesn't feel long, but it is exhausting. It's an entire movie pitched at 11 that screams in your face, "YOU SHOULD BE HAVING FUN."

For Your Reference Podcast

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.

Rated: 4/5

For Your Reference Podcast

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!

Rated: 4/5

Jana Monji

Age of the Geek

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.

Way too fast! There wasn't any kind of break or a moment to catch your breath. The movie was also too short. Had potential to do well, but was rushed
