The reviews that compared it to a rom-com were spot on.
It felt more like a buddy cop movie to me, but LBR the line between buddy film and romcom are RAZOR THIN at the best of times :D

So I haven’t really been paying attention to Venom, because I am apparently alone in not liking Tom Hardy, but this is the first time I’ve heard that Riz Ahmed is even IN the movie
He’s the central antagonist! And he’s GREAT.

when riz said "trust me" that one time, i trusted him, even though i knew full well what he was going to do. that's acting!!
What struck me is how straight-faced he delivered the worst of his lines. Like, he’s got some of your standard creepy monologuing going on, but what really got me was that most of the super evil stuff he says flies right by you because he doesn’t chew them as he says them. His complete lack of empathy or concern for the human beings he interacts with on every level could have been really serial-killer ominous but instead he delivers them like he’s giving orders at a business meeting and it’s fantastic.

My sister was telling me that apparently a bunch of the bad “critical” reviews were actually fake reviews?? globalnews.ca/news/4513607/bots-venom-a-star-is-born/ i found a few articles about that, but the fact that’s even a thing blows my mind
That makes a ton of sense, actually, because I was sitting in the movie literally going “This is not the kind of movie critics normally hate. This is the kind of movie they usually call a Fun Action Romp. Why did they hate this?” But that makes a ton of sense.

In fairness, I will lay down money that there are people stalking any and all Tony specific tags to explain Their Opinion to you.
That’s true. Tony antis are real full of opinions and do not care if you wish to hear them or not.

I am currently applying to Data Science MS/PhD programs and I might steal this idea and run with it. (Unless I get into the sportsball data science program which I am also okay with as an enjoyer of sprotz)
Hey, it’s yours if you want it. Do keep me updated if you do it, though, I’d love to hear how it goes!
