The trailers shows a dark and brooding movie...but in reality, it’s a weird comedy, along the lines of Deadpool...

You'd think they'd market it like that.
I don't think i've ever read a comic with Venom in it.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

...just like Deadpool, as I never read him in comic books either, but grew to like him regardless...sigpicComment

So, you saw it Hector? All the marketing made it look like a lite horror film.
I liked Venom when he first showed up in ASM #300 (I still own my original copy!). But they oversaturated the market with him EVERYWHERE, especially when he got endless mini-series. And he got all ridiculously toothy and tonguey. Hard to imagine, but McFarlane's original version was very restrained.

With all apologies to his fans, I can't help but associate Venom with the low point in 90s comics. Exaggerated anatomy, sketchy lifework, variant covers. It was the end of comics for me. But the mixed reviews really make me want to see this for myself. It could be so staggeringly bad as to have all the makings of a cult classic.Comment

Will I see it at the theaters? Nope.
I rarely go to the movie theater these days...the last one was Infinity Wars.
But all the big ones, Black Panther, Thor Ragnarok, Deadpool 2, Solo, etc...all rentals.
I’ll check out Venom when it hits Redbox...sigpicComment

Keep in mind, this thing has been in the works for almost 20 years. Arad has been pushing Venom from the earliest days because he was one of the things that sold strong for Toy Biz/Marvel and was really popular on the cartoon.
Sony had to do this at some point, just to get the development money off their accounting sheets. Usually, when you see this "clear the books" approach, it means something bigger is happening. Sony has been in merger talks for years. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a precursor. That would flip the rights back...Comment

Hopefully not with disgusting humour like Deadpool so my kids can enjoy it too.Check out my website: Megozine Covers - HomeComment

Generally speaking, if I'm even remotely curious about an upcoming film I won't read a word about it or even look up pics until I've actually seen it. Venom, on the other hand, doesn't really appeal to me at all, so I spent some time today poking around some articles. Funny you should mention potential cult classic, as I ran into this most unexpected take over on BirthMoviesDeath:
