Not sure how you were taking my response, but I was saying that to be negative, in that it should look much better/cooler then something 10 years ago.

Venom's voice reminds me of Tony Todd.

Going to be hard to take this one seriously with Mona-Lisa Saperstein running around.

I thought it was Tony Todd doing voice over work! But apparently not. I only recognize his voice since he’s in my favorite movie (The Rock) and tv show (24)

That was better than that awful teaser. And it still looks terrible. Hard pass.

Wow. That really does look bad. So bad that Marvel really makes the "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" stand out.

Can't wait to hear more about those "sim bye oats" wtf.

Eh, I don't think it looks that bad. It seems to be capuring the relationship between Brock and the symbiote pretty well.

But yes, the accent is weird. And sim-bye-oat is weird. And super weird to have a venom origin story without spiderman (I'm assuming). Brock and the symbiote's hatred of Spidey is a key component of their bonding. Well, THE key component.

Maybe a lat night showing for me - it looks okay. But considering Venom is literally “evil Spider-Man”, it’s weird that he seems to play no part in this.

Based on the trailers we've seen they are keeping the budget tight on this by giving us very little Venom and a lot of Eddie Brock.

It looks like one of those mid-90s CGI shitfests crossed with a shitty pre-MCU superhero flick.

This is the worst looking superhero movie ever if you take away every non X-men Fox superhero movie.

Looks like DC is making a Venom movie. Weird seeing Hardy doing something like this.

Maybe I’ve just never noticed but is that: In Association with Marvel tag new? I swear in the past it’s always just been Marvel.

So yeah, the face of venom looks pretty terrible but the movie itself looks damn good.

all you people hating on it are expressing your anger over how Venom looks - you're literally disregarding all the cool stuff shown in the trailer.

Cool stuff? Looks like pretty standard Hollywood dropping the ball on a beloved comic character bullsh#t to me. Doesn't look to me that they even tried on this one, they just wanted the namesake and made something totally unlike the property.

I didn't think there was a lot of other "cool stuff" in the trailer.

Yikes. And Hardy's accent at times reminded me of Sylvester the Cat.



And no, there were no "cool" stuff in there. Kind of surprised Hardy and Williams would sign on to this tbh.

In a way the trailer to me looks like something that would have come out like pre-MCU era or something. It doesn’t seem like it’s got the same polish as modern films in the genre. I don’t think it looks terrible like I said before but it looks very mixed. It’s got a very generic feel to it. I think Venom looks okay so far but when Eddie gets transformed at the end it looks pretty corny. I’m still probably going to give it a chance but it’s definitely not something I’m overly excited to see.

It all depends on what they're going for. If it's a cheesy B-movie kind of horror, then maybe it'll work but I don't know.
