The new Venom movie was as entertaining movie... And that's it.
[spoiler]
On the good side, they got Venom's personality right, by Venom I mean the specific union between Eddie Brock and the Symbiote. From referring themselves as 'we' rather than 'I' since they are basically two people inhabiting the same body (I'm looking at you, Sam Reimi's Spider-Man 3!), to his goofy remarks (yes, the character always had a goofy side). The movie primarily focused on the relationship between these two, and they nailed it. Oh, and the action was fun, at least.

On the downside, I must say that the villian was boring, Riot was ok-ish, and at one point the movie suddenly stars rushing through all it's plot points. In fact, I must say most of the characters besides Eddie and the Symbiote are rather forgotable.

And last but no least, if they are really going to bring Carnage to big screen, then that film must be rated R. There's no way that thing is going to be PG-13.

EDIT: did you know? One of Venom's lines in the film, "Eyes, lungs, pancreas... so many snacks, so little time," was lifted unaltered from The Amazing Spider-Man #374.

That was a nice shout out to the source material.
