Customer Ratings & Reviews

I read Spider-Man comics as a kid, but lost interest in them in the late 70s, so I didn't know anything about Venom. I saw this movie on a whim, and was so happy I did, Tom Hardy is fantastic! There's no character he can't portray! Watching this movie, you'd never know he is a Brit. There's action, comedy and nice special effects. After seeing it twice, I decided to buy the DVD when it came out

This one surprised me just as much as everyone told me it would. I absolutely love it! Different and absolutely not your average DC/ MCU movie but I am glad I own it. I wish there had been some Spiderman cast cameos but hey I guess you can't have it all. From a A/V perspective this has great blacks wonderful shadow details and a Dolby Atmos soundtrack that makes this worth having!

Tom Hardy plays a reporter, who can't get a break. Several alien life forms invade our planet. One invades the body of Eddie Brock. He is terrified at the creature looking back at his in the mirror. And there's the voice in his head. He can't control the creature and starts to lose his mind, his job and his fiancé. The movie starts off a little slow, but when Venom starts up, it's a fun ride. The effects are amazing. And there's lots of humor.

Venom is one of those characters that needed a special kind of team to bring him to the silver screen (yeah, I'm ignoring Raimi's version) and it was definitely found in the crew of this film. Venom isn't a "superhero" but he isn't really a "villain" either, but it's clear that this film takes pages from the Marvel Studios movie playbook. It's enjoyable and worth the watch.

I was not expecting the outcome of this movie. Anyone who loves super hero movies are in for a surprise. How he acquired his powers is brilliant. And then the action scenes were breathtaking. The supporting actors kept this movie moving along and I can't wait for the sequel. This movie is only going to have a long life, as the lead character will change with time.

For any Marvel/spiderman fan. I do not agree with the negative comments made about this movie. Maybe its not for those who are not aware of Venom’s origins. If you understand the backstory, this is a movie that you can definitely enjoy. It was a bit cheesy at times, but thats exactly how i remember it from the old cartoon version of spiderman/venom!

This movie is great! Even if your not a comic book kind of moviegoer this could be worth a watch as it doesn't fit into the timeline as of yet and has some great science fiction aspects! I didn't know If I was going to like this but Im glad I got it because these are getting hard to come by and it was very enjoyable! The UHD and 4k aspects of this film are great!

What a great Marvel movie! The producers took elements from the comics along with some of their own ideas and made it all work. I’ve always been a Venom fan and have all of the Carnage series comics and separation anxiety. This movie is an origin movie and I’m excited to see where the next movie will pick up... buy it; you won’t be disappointed!

Tom Hardy's performances as Eddie Brock and Venom make for a fun and entertaining ride. It certainly isn't what I expected since I thought this would spin off directly from the Spider-Man movie but it was still very entertaining and kept my interest throughout the whole movie. I am looking forward to the next Venom movie since this was set up to be a series.

Our family really enjoy the Marvel movies, and this one did not disappoint. Storyline is different from the typical Avengers movies, while still keeping some of the Avengers humor. This was my first real exposure to Venom, so I can't speak to how close it is to the comic books, but would recommend this to anyone looking for a good mix of laughter and excitement.

I really enjoyed this movie. I enjoyed the interactions between Eddie and Venom. At first I was not enjoying the Eddie story line but I think they did a great job of creating a good story with character development. He was very unlikable at first and I almost turned it off, but unlike every other super hero movie we were treated to someone that we grew to like instead of getting a Mary Sue right away.

I read some bad reviews and was a little worried it wouldn't be good. My wife, son and father all ended up really liking the movie. Its has a tamer/PG deadpool feeling (the fact he talks to himself & is kind of a bad guy but is going after other bad guys). We all were laughing at several points through the movie. My son has watched this 3 times within a week.

Venom is a Wicket Marvel Super Hero Movie; Tom Hardy was the perfect actor to be mixed in with the Venom. A kind of new twist to Marvel type Characters; rather funny and entertaining. I don't know what the issues were with the critics and especially with Rotten Tomatoes??? Common get off the pot and enjoy the better reviews by the Marvel Fan Movie Empire!

"Venom" should not be considered a good film, but I can't stop myself from loving it. It's extremely strange and seems to just proceed with its own sense of pacing, but the film weirdly just works. Eccentric performances and moments of kinetic action with the hilarity and awesomeness of the titular character itself make this a truly memorable film indeed.

bought this to test my new Atmos setup. Atmos in this movie is fantastic, not far from the theater version, which I did see. Picture is also great. On a Dolby Vision TV blacks are BLACK, contrast is perfect and color are vivid. You might experience something different depending on your set up but this is a great test to see what you need to upgrade next.

Fun and exciting movie. A bad guy who turns into a good guy, sort of. He still wants to eat people, but may refrain to only eating bad. I enjoyed the movie a lot. I don't often buy them, only if they deserve a rating of a 5. This one definitely kept me on the edge of my seat, from beginning to the end. If found it both thrilling and hilarious.

I was worried that because Spiderman wasn't going to be in it that the movie would blow. Then i saw it in the theater. Wow! I was surprised. The ending scene with Cletus Cassidy aka Carnage left the door wide ooen for a sequel. Oh! And the picture on the 4k disc is great. The detail and black levels really pop on this transfer.

The movie itself is ok. My gripe comes from the non-true to comics story and lack of anything related to Spider-Man. Sure you can't throw everything about Venom's origins in there (Secret Wars), bit what they came up with wasn't that great. Take Spider-Man 1 for example (Toby Macguire one), I think it was a neat twist the website were organic and not home made machinery. So I'm not blind to true to comics and that's it.

Very fun movie! Even more so if you’re a fan of Tom Hardy, Venom, Marvel, superhero movies, and/or action movies! Must see for all fans!

Great movie! Funny, intense action. And Tom Hardy is an all-around great actor. The disc works just fine with no problems.
