and return to our roots with some pure awesomeness that is correct. we're talking about poison, uh again, I did a quickie for this when it came out, but that was forever ago and I don't remember what I said about this movie back then, plus there's a sequel coming out, so it's a perfect excuse to Finally, let's take a closer look at this movie, but before we find out if Venom is the

made

, I let you know that these videos get blocked and censored like crazy, so just to be safe, we're going to get some brief words from our sponsor.

Today's video is sponsored by our good friends nordvpn now cybersecurity is no joke and as someone who edits most of their videos on the go I've found that using public wifi is a pretty good way to expose yourself to sneaky hackers and They suck, and I've used a lot of VPNs in the past, but Nord is the only one I stick with because it's by far the best VPN provider I've ever used. It's super easy to use, just click on any region you're in and bam! In the past we are protected behind a next generation security wall, me and some of my friends have had our browsing data accessed against our will and it's not fun believe me but now I use nordvpn and I don't really have to worry about those things and besides, that's just one of the many features that nord offers lately.

I started using nord on multiple devices and with nord you can protect six devices at once and of course I could never forget that with a VPN you can also access region-locked content lately. I've been watching a lot more TV shows in my free time and nothing bothers me more than trying to watch something only to see that it's not broadcast in my country, but with nordvpn I'm the master of streaming. service, so today nordvpn is offering you a two-year plan at a huge discount, just go to nordvpn.com cosmonaut to get a two-year plan plus four additional months for free and if that's not enough, this offer doesn't have risks because Nord has a 30 day money back guarantee again it's nordvpn.com cosmonaut and of course I would like to thank nordvpn for sponsoring this video so Venom came out a few years ago and I think this movie is a absolute delight, it's really hilarious, the plot is silly, the characters are all idiots and overall it's very silly and this raises the question of the intention of this movie: this movie is trying to be funny and obviously to some extent it is. es, but this movie is also taking on itself.

Very seriously at times and I would say that the funniest moments in this movie are not the moments where the movie is actually trying to make me laugh, if anything the humor in this movie is so awkward and forced that it is funny for different reasons, Not today, oh. In this movie we have Eddie Brock played by Tom Hardy and I think Tom Hardy is a pretty good actor, but you couldn't tell based on this movie. I mean, he's not terrible, but he's doing weird things where he tries. It's really hard to sound more like a normal American guy and it's funny knowing that in real life this guy sounds like this and then this huge menacing figure appeared in the section, I mean he was about ten feet tall and about eight feet wide. . with huge pointy ears but in this movie it sounds like this hey damn with this parasite we wish we could make me I don't know how to climb a tree very very very high but super super fast it's like screaming his voice and acting like a weirdo, like that out to make him seem like less of a meathead and dude im sorry youre not fooling anyone so in this movie eddie brock goes up against reza med who is also a pretty good actor and clearly has a lot of fun playing a bad guy Businessman.

He's playing what I can only call this movie's version of Elon Musk and his inventions keep breaking down like the real-life Elon Musk, sure, yeah, but at the beginning of this movie, Eddie Brock's life is pretty sweet. He's a super famous himbo news reporter with a nice apartment in California and a cute girlfriend who he's going to marry and then decides to be absolutely himself in the shortest amount of time possible. This guy holds the world speed record for ruining your own race. Basically his boss tells him hey, you're a great reporter, Eddie, so I need you to go interview this guy.

He's a space pioneer and he literally cured cancer, so you have to go and give this guy a normal interview and Eddie is like I'm not. I don't know, I think this guy is bad news, so before he goes to the interview, he steals confidential government documents from his girlfriend's computer without her consent and then proceeds to ask Elon Musk about the people he's supposedly killing in their scientific experiments. Now Eddie, how did you think? this was going to happen he wasn't going to admit that on TV in his own office building I really want to know what Eddie Brock thought the ideal outcome of this situation would be if he was going to say oh yeah that was me sorry Not anymore I won't do any wrong, so as expected, Eddie's boss is like I told you to do a normal interview and Eddie is like, but sir, this man is evil, this guy is back, Jack, if you give us your fountain.

Sorry, obviously Eddie gets fired and immediately afterwards his girlfriend gets fired because Eddie leaked the data on his computer, so she leaves him. This man is the king of up and somehow, after all this, he still manages to get better. life even more, what an absolute god and meanwhile we have the main plot of the movie, so before all this happened, Elon Musk recovered some creepy, gooey aliens from outer space and is secretly experimenting on them, but while He does evil things, the whole world thinks he's this super nice guy who literally cured cancer. I want to be honest, if you cure cancer, I think you can get away with anything for the rest of your life.

Oh, and this is one of my favorite moments in this movie. He is the host of this tour and one. one of these kids has a question and their classmates are like idiots why are you asking questions on a field trip stop embarrassing us tina mister drake okay don't silence her come here what's your name hallie they try to silence those of us who ask questions, but you know what, In the end we are the ones who change the world and after all she still never gets to ask her question so six months go by and Eddie's life has gotten worse and they really insist that her life is him. talks about how sad he is all his current friends are homeless, he needs self help and meditation videos, his new neighbor is very rude, he can't get a job, this guy is cheating on him and worst of all, he can't even to get it. the plant from it to grow do we really need a visual metaphor here?

I think the point has already been made. Plus, he definitely still lives in a three or four thousand dollar apartment in San Francisco, so I don't know, I think you're doing good, man. The thing is, Eddie's life doesn't get better in this movie, he doesn't get happier and he doesn't grow as a character at the end of this movie, he just saves the world and then goes back to his shitty expensive apartment with an abusive alien parasite. permanently fused with him and when I first saw this movie I thought they would play with the idea that Eddie's life sucks and that his negative emotions are building up and that those emotions will eventually feed the poison because that's how the symbiote works, but no, that aspect of the character is never used here, they just say funny things to each other, that's all, I think it's a missed opportunity, so anyway, Jenny Slate plays a scientist who works for Elon Musk and after years of watching him experiment on innocents. people without consent, she watched him kill his thousandth bum and then decides I want to quit and never come back here again, well, bye, then she goes to find Eddie Brock because I really don't know why she decides to go with Eddie Brock.

Of all the people she could turn to for help exposing Elon Musk, she goes to the one guy who doesn't even work for a media outlet anymore. What is the ideal outcome here? What can this man do for you? He doesn't even do it. He's got a camera, he's using his iPhone, so Eddie and Mona Lisa go undercover and sneak into the Life Foundation and in typical Spider-Man story style, he starts wandering around alone for no reason and this guy is a buffoon. so clumsy that he finds his homeless friend who was kidnapped earlier and she says, "Help me, Eddie." He just starts pressing every button on the keyboard and looks so funny it's like he's drunk.

Throughout the movie we follow a strange drunken idiot who talks about aliens like aliens, yeah. Anyway, the movie turns into a shitty horror movie for a few minutes so Eddie can get infected with the poison and again it's a lot of fun watching this fool blunder around and it's worth noting that Eddie doesn't start to wonder how he could. he runs up a wall, through a door, and blows a hole through a metal fence. Actually, he just forgets about it, stupid, but that's okay because Elon also has no idea who broke in and stole the symbiote from him.

Yes, it's true, the life foundation literally cured cancer. but they don't have security cameras to monitor their alien specimens, stupid. Also, as we cut between Eddie and Elon, we have this side story about an additional symbiote that has been traveling from Malaysia to the United States, but we had a six-month time jump. Half a year and he's just now getting on the plane. What were you doing? What took you so long? Meanwhile, Eddie notices something strange happening in his body, so Dan, the doctor who is Eddie's girlfriend, decides to be a good guy and tries to find out.

What's happening? I have to say that this is actually the nicest guy in the movie, but even though he's a pretty nice guy, no one in this movie is allowed to be good at their job, so he's obviously a terrible doctor, since we know that the symbiotes react badly. certain sound waves, so Eddie reacts like this when he gets an MRI and the great doctor Dan says, "wow dude, it's okay if you're afraid of x-rays, dude, something's clearly wrong, everyone in this movie is incompetent." , meanwhile, Jenny Slate is selling out.” Eddie, then Elon Musk decides to kill her and then sends thugs to Eddie's house, but it's okay because poison can sense danger.

Don't open that door, except I have to say this line is pretty dumb. Hey, Eddie, who the hell is this guy like me? I don't know that it was you who felt his presence, why did you ask that? But anyway I must mention that while Tom Hardy's emotional and verbal performance is ridiculous, his physical performance is actually pretty good, so we get this enhanced style fight scene and I must say I like the trope of a character who accidentally and apologetically hits people even in bad movies, it's a pretty funny scene, but after that, halfway through the movie, we finally get to see our main character, Venom, and it's actually really disappointing. , there's not even a musical cue, it's just there, that's poison.

Oh, and then an explosive drone attacks them and here, here, this is the point where the movie goes into overdrive before everything was relatively grounded. It's basically a typical sci-fi movie with a little horror twist, but the moment you hear this, look at the drones, it dives right into logistically comic book absurdity, it doesn't even make any sense why. this guy who works in space exploration and cancer treatment has a mercenary army and a fleet of explosive attack drones, this is what a video game villain would have at his disposal, not Marvel, Elon Musk, oh and this is unrelated , but did you know that Marvel already has Elon Musk, he is in Iron Man 2?

How are you? Congratulations on the promotion. Thank you so much. You've always thought he's a little weird. Anyway, back to the movie. Unleash the drones. Now we have a motorcycle chase scene. I love them. That's how you make the audience forget how stupid everything is. Wait, it's not weak poison to shoot because it seems fine here and now. The villain is blowing up civilians and causing mass destruction. Why would I do this? How can you cover this up? Sorry don't think about it I'm a ghost riding the crazy taxi so after all that Eddie is out cold and even the camera isn't in focus that's how hard he got hit oh wait come on autofocus It activated and he's fine, Eddie is fine because the poison is here in all its glory, honestly, I think.

This should have been the first time we see poison after seeing that lackluster shot of it earlier. ThisIt's just not that impactful. Imagine if this was the first time we saw it, it would be great. He immediately starts murdering people, but we can too. I don't really appreciate it because this movie tries so hard to stay on page 13 and that's one of the biggest flaws of this movie. The fact that it's page 13, I have no idea why they would do this, but more on that. About that later, so Eddie and Venom swim away and Venom explains that he wants Eddie to take him to Elon Musk's rocket.

Now we don't know why Venom wants to get into a rocket and spoiler alert, Venom doesn't know either because in just a few scenes he will change his mind, meanwhile Elon finds his last symbiote dead on the ground and it's only because no one was looking at him . I'm serious, these guys don't have security cameras and besides, no one works here. See the alien life forms, even the supporting characters are bad at their jobs. Also, this subplot about the extra symbiote traveling across the world to get to Elon Musk is really stupid because we have to keep trimming this more evil symbiote for our hero. fight but most of our time is spent watching this nameless symbiote kill everyone we've met so far.

He kills all these people in these sinister and terrifying scenes and then dies because he was left out of the fish tank for too long. Why not just get rid of it? this weird, logistically flawed subplot about an extra symbiote going across the country to find a rocket and just turning this symbiote into the bad guy because by the time Riot gets to America and gets to Elon Musk and joins the story, we don't even We worry about him because the movie is almost over at that point. This is another superhero movie where the main villain doesn't get any development because he's not actually in the movie and no one talks about him.

This is the only information we have. learn about the main antagonist he has, you will never see him. I'll be honest, that doesn't really help me at all, so Eddie and Venom go to Eddie's old job and Venom climbs to the top of the building and laments how beautiful it is. the earth is peaceful up here your world isn't so ugly after all yes, I must say that at this point Venom's motivations are all over the place and this makes his character development feel quite rushed and a little sloppy, there is a million and one story about aliens learning to appreciate the Earth and this is the laziest attempt I've ever seen oh Eddie San Francisco is so beautiful oh and also this is something I only discovered watching modern action blockbusters and adventures alone at home for my youtube videos, but I think it's really strange how superhero movies have these comedic moments with long pauses where they hope the cinema will laugh, but when you watch them alone at home it's like watching a comedy without the laugh track and it's a super awkward jump, so next.

We get our first big fight scene with Venom and this gets into another big problem with this movie. The action scenes with Venom are absolutely terrible because you can't see what's happening. The lights are off to hide the average quality CGI and as I said before. this movie tries not to be too violent, but this is poison, it literally eats people, it looks like this and this is a pretty grim movie, everything is pretty dark, but we can't have even a speck of blood, no, it's quite distracting how is the movie. it's deliberately censored to stay on page 13 and you get these weird bloodless bites to the head and it just takes you out of the movie.

Eddie even tells Venom not to kill any of the police officers. Yes, even this guy survives the same beating that Patrick Starr takes. all this is happening to him, he's still conscious enough to scream when he's thrown, it's so dumb and so ridiculous, and wow, am I having fun? Oh and here's another thing I'm going to point out and this is one of my pet peeves about marquee movies. I really hate when a character in a movie sees something crazy and out of this world, literally, and has a subdued, super unrealistic reaction. If I, a normal human being living on planet Earth in the 21st century, saw this, I would probably go crazy and lose my mind.

I would probably vomit out of fear. I just think characters in movies don't get scared properly when they see scary things and that's me, when characters in movies see something scary they just give a little silent gasp or do that cliché screaming thing. and then the strange creature screams and they just scream back and forth and no one laughs, but the movies keep doing it anyway. I feel like we got off topic anyway. Eddie's ex takes things pretty well considering she just watched him turn into a seven-foot-tall slime demon. In fact, she takes it so well that she offers to take him to the hospital.

Everyone in this movie is so nice and at the same time so stupid in the hospital. Dan and the lady forcibly extract poison using the MRI and again no one pays attention to the alien. life forms, so once they look away right after locking Poison in a room, he just escapes again. If it were me, I couldn't take my eyes off this thing. I'm not talking about you and Eddie, no, no, I'm talking. about that, they also let eddie leave the hospital even though they just had some alien putty taken out of his body and he's presumably wanted by the police and then the bad guys obviously capture him and once they drag him back to their base evil, we get the reveal that Elon Musk has now been infected with a symbiote, he has one in his butt, so they take Eddie outside so the bad guys can execute him, which is just absurd because the bad guys have had no problem kill people inside. to the lab, but just this once we have to drag Eddie outside so we can shoot him.

Sure, whatever, but it's okay because the poison takes over his ex's body and creates a fetish he didn't even know he had, sir. Grab me that specimen, so Poison and Eddie. leave her in the middle of the force and decides to walk back to the secret lair of evil because I mean, the guy doesn't even have security cameras so you might as well and along the way, Venom finally explains his motivations in this movie, its original. The plan was to take Elon's rocket and fly back to his planet, grab his friends and come back to Earth and eat everyone, but his new plan is to stay on Earth and be the only symbiote. on earth.

It's different now, Eddie. I've decided to stay wow on my planet I'm kind of a poison loser he just doesn't want to go home because he's afraid of being bullied by his friends that's literally his entire story in this short movie what really made you change your mind honestly I just have to see this movie as a comedy because it's so inconsistent in tone that it's honestly impressive. The script takes itself too seriously or accidentally lets you make this world funny. This is the same dialogue an eight-year-old would make. Give him his action figures and what follows is what I would easily call the worst superhero fight I've seen in a long time.

It's very hard to know what's going on because the main villain of the movie is a guy who looks exactly like the main character, so I don't even know who's winning, what am I looking at for a second, the two characters fight without their symbiotes, but it's also really funny because it's like a weak little tech nerd fighting with a big, clumsy drunk. British man, I'm going to take out my april and make burns in your front garden and then I'm going to strangle a bomb in your windows, you silly bastard, but in the end our heroic goo monster defeats the bad goo monster and the day is saved. so now eddie's horrible shitty life can resume, he doesn't even get his girlfriend back.

Life is probably worse than before. Hey, sorry about Venom. That's what I said when I took my friends to see this movie and I have to say that. The end of this movie is an avalanche of hilarious

venom

, it says something about turning a man into turd rolling down the street like turd in the wind, then the credits roll and a song about Eminem's

venom

comes on and then a publication. credits scene where Woody Harrelson is teased as Carnage for the upcoming movie and is wearing a Ronald McDonald wig. There will be Carnage. This movie is comedy gold.

Honestly, this is the best kind of bad superhero movie I've been watching too many movies. Actually, trash movies that make me want to die, but this makes me feel alive, pure delicious trash, but is it one of the worst superhero movies ever made? I don't believe it. It's not that bad. The script is stupid, but at least that's how it is. It makes sense that every character in this movie conveniently fails at their job just so the plot can happen and that's not a very good way to structure a plot but I've seen worse, it's a hard comparison to make because I've been watching some movies that just don't make sense and compared to those, this doesn't offend me as much because this movie understands how dumb it is and it seems like the sequel is taking that and playing with it a little more and I have to.

I say as dumb as the character is, it's a lot of fun to watch Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock slash venom and the best compliment I can give this movie is that it looks like an early 2000s superhero movie, it's cheesy, It's totally confusing, but it's fun. laugh with friends, so with my ranking tier list of the worst super officer cosmonaut superhero movies we've always had in every video, I think I'm going to give Venom a 5 out of 10 and throw it into the trash tier delicious, thank you. Hi, I'm Stan Lee.
