When the room stops shaking and both feel something is a little off, Venom looks up at the television and sees none other than Spider-Man, in the shape of Marvel star Tom Holland. In fact, it does more than shake - the walls get a little blurry and both Eddie and Venom appear impacted by some kind of external trauma for a moment. Eddie insists Venom show him a little of this knowledge and as Venom begins to oblige the room shakes.
#LET THERE BE CARNAGE MOVIE#
The antihero couple are watching a movie in bed together when Venom confides that he has access to a wealth of knowledge Eddie's mind couldn't possibly handle. The credits scene starts with Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock and gloopy alien symbiote Venom in a hotel room enjoying beach life. 15, while Australia has to wait until Nov. The rest of this article explains why this scene matters, so for obvious reasons you shouldn't read on if you want to avoid spoilers.
Not only does it change the Venom story permanently, but it has a lasting impact on a whole lot more than that. The original Venom end credits set the stage for a sequel, but what gets revealed at the end of this new movie is a much, much bigger deal. But it’s frequently frustrating, too - the mega-talented Naomie Harris picks up the squandered-talent baton from Riz Ahmed as Kasady’s equally evil lover Frances the very nature of Carnage is ill-defined Williams’ Anne largely spends the final act gagged and bound in a box.Like most superhero movies these days, Venom: Let there be Carnage has a post-credits scene with a fan-pleasing twist.
#LET THERE BE CARNAGE SERIAL#
In an early confrontation between Brock and Kasady - which the script bends over backwards to accommodate - the convicted murderer gestures to our uncomfortable fascination with true-crime (“People love serial killers!”) there’s a striking animated sequence depicting the horrors of Kasady’s past Peggy Lu’s scene-stealing shopkeeper Mrs Chen shows how fun Venom’s body-swapping conceit could be. Throughout, there are brief glimmers of a better film. Even an implied poultry massacre takes place off-screen.
Woody Harrelson’s incoming villain, serial killer Cletus Kasady - mercifully shorn of the bizarre Mick Hucknall wig he donned in the last film’s cameo, now replaced by a creepy crew-cut - trades on Zodiac-coded creepiness but never feels threatening, and when his symbiote parasite (named ‘Carnage’ for no discernible reason) takes over, any trademark head-chomping is left to the imagination. Once again, that PG-13 rating (an extraordinarily mild 15 here in the UK) is perhaps the biggest flaw here, leaving Serkis hamstrung with a titular promise that simply cannot be delivered upon - there’s precious little carnage to be had. The splodgy-symbiote effects are a marginal improvement over the previous film, but it’s impossible not to ponder what Serkis could have created with a bigger budget and bolder rating. Ruben Fleischer is out as director, replaced by the great Andy Serkis - but any hopes that the performance-capture genius, behind richly drawn CG creations like Gollum and Planet Of The Apes’ Caesar, might be able to conjure some clarity among the quick-cutting chaos of the dimly lit action sequences are soon dashed. It’s especially disappointing given the talent involved this time out. (Ingmar Bergman’s ‘Scenes From A Symbiote Marriage’, anyone?) But while a Venom-Brock romcom sounds fun, the reality is a tonal mishmash of unfunny gags - Venom’s voice-over trash-talk is woefully lame, a watered-down stream of Deadpool-ish, audience-winking irreverence that plays like a symbiotic director’s commentary you can’t turn off - layered on a poorly plotted story with action sequences that don’t hold up to the myriad other comic-book movies out there. There’s a kernel of a good idea here - that Let There Be Carnage is a kind of double break-up movie, as Brock wrestles with his split from Michelle Williams’ Anne (still grossly underused) while also doubting his relationship with Venom. There’s precious little carnage to be had. That PG-13 rating is perhaps the biggest flaw here, leaving Serkis hamstrung.
