During the long development of the 2018 film Venom, the character Carnage was expected to appear as an antagonist. During pre-production on that film, the creative team decided not to include the character so they could focus on introducing the protagonists, Eddie Brock and Venom. Director Ruben Fleischer felt that leaving Venom's most formidable villain for a sequel would give the franchise a place to go and would be a natural next step, so Carnage's alter-ego Cletus Kasady was introduced in a mid-credits scene at the end of the first film with the intention of featuring him in a sequel. Fleischer wanted to cast Woody Harrelson in the role, feeling there was a natural connection between the character and Harrelson's performance in Natural Born Killers (1994), and asked Harrelson while the pair were discussing a sequel to their film Zombieland (2009). After meeting with Fleischer and Tom Hardy—who portrays Brock and Venom—for dinner, Harrelson agreed to take on the part. Harrelson described his decision as a roll of the dice since he was unable to read a script for the sequel before signing on to the first film. In August 2018, ahead of Venoms release, Hardy confirmed that he had signed on to star in two sequels. At the end of November 2018, Sony gave an October 2, 2020, release date to an untitled Marvel sequel that was believed to be Venom 2, which would place the film in the same release timeframe as the first Venom; box office analysts believed Venom had been successful enough to guarantee a sequel would be made.

Serkis… seems to be trying to duplicate the energy of a kid tearing through a comic book.
A mind-numbingly tiresome sequel, filled with uninspired comedy and a CGI monster fight that seems to drag on forever.
At a tight 90 minutes, Serkis' sequel doesn’t feel long, but it is exhausting. It’s an entire movie pitched at 11 t...
This sequel is a violent, very sloppy, yet entertaining battle through couples counseling for Tom Hardy’s Eddie and his symbiote.
it’s not the promised spectacle that cements "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" as touching, wild entertainment. It’s the themes of home, lo...
The fine actors onscreen are mere accessories to the computerized puppets thrashing and slashing and stabbing and biting and roaring and breaking s...
There’s a little bit more polish this time, but for all the talented people involved, Let There Be Carnage still has the whiff of a...
Where the first Venom was toxically dull, Venom 2, at its best, is intoxicating.
Serkis dispenses with detailed explanations and instead amps up the humour, leaning into the goofy, flirtatious dynamic between Venom and Brock.
Andy Serkis is no stranger to the necessities of making a digital character feel tactile, and that shows in his direction.
It’s short, cheap looking and maybe made for 8-year-olds. It’s only fun if your idea of fun is being screamed at by a demon voice while...
It’s dumb. It’s loud. It barely makes a lick of sense. But unlike its predecessor, this second cinematic outing for the popular Ma...
It’s hard to overstate just how much the relative success of this film comes down to Hardy and his go for broke performances as Eddie and Venom.
Unusual to say the least…there is some deadpan humor to what it’s doing…and I kind of enjoyed Tom Hardy…
The viewing experience is like going to a nightclub and having someone scream the plot in your ear over a thumping bass line – ironic, gi...
A sequel whose title is both a promise and the premise, in its entirety.
Venom: Let There Be Crazy, Stupid Love isn’t a great movie, but it doesn’t matter because it’s just big, dumb, romantic fun.
This is, in essence, a slapstick blood bath about two threesomes both in desperate need of throuples therapy.
A love story written in blood, sweat and the slime of half-eaten brains.
To its perverse credit, Venom 2, as it’s being called, manipulates its audience with all the tentacles it can deploy, most of them cheerfully...
Though it will please most fans of the 2018 first installment, Carnage proves that superhero fatigue applies to nonheroes as well.
Everyone’s in on the joke in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and it’s more of a bummer than I could have imagined.
It’s all very weird, and yet not half-weird enough. Strained edginess mingles with strained sentiment, and also with gags that would make you...
The things this movie gets away with thanks to that bizarrely delightful Eddie/Venom relationship …
Andy Serkis keeps the rambunctious proceedings relatively taut, making room for operatic action and a sneaky emotional undercurrent that pokes...
Ugly, cheap and dumb-but-not-good-dumb, the film is a throwaway kind of trashy nothingness.
There doesn’t need to be carnage (or, hell, even Carnage), there just needs to be Venom, and more of it.
Besides being nasty, the new movie is quite jokey. This wouldn’t be a tonal issue if the jokes were good, but they’re not.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is refreshingly nuts, and benefits from being a whole 45 minutes shorter than its predecessor.
Overseeing it all is Serkis, who understands the technology required to get the necessary virtual performances better than almost anyone, but demon...
Carnage is for the most part, in ways that count, another dirtbag delight. It’s a lesser movie than Venom, but one that scratches many o...
Silliness was the first film’s strength, which everyone involved seems to have realized and leaned into hard for the follow-up.
Sitting at "Venom: Let There Be Carnage," you quietly ask yourself, "What have I done wrong? Is God punishing me?"
It is mostly noisy and flimsy and without purpose, a hasty response to the original’s unexpected success and little else. Naturally a th...
That fierce kineticism has failed to coalesce into a quasi-coherent sequel. Venom 2 is certainly riotous, but where did the fun go?
If 2018's Venom felt like an afterthought, then the sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, feels like an afterthought to an afterthought.
It’s nice to be able to appreciate a superhero movie that understands how scary the world can be even if you have literal superpowers, a...

This film has no plot at all, there is only a battle of two symbiotes, a short film would be enough Translated to English
Watched
The only thing that justifies the existence of this film is perhaps the scene after the credits Translated to English
Watched
Totally for fans of Marvel, comic book cinema, and mindless entertainment, the silliest spectacle, where like a movie – everything is bad! 3 out of 10 for some dialogue so to speak Translated to English
Watched
Solid clowning with school jokes without irony. Eddie is a rag without character and brains, the action is dull and without imagination. The plot goes just like that without logic and explanation. The villain only causes laughter. Empty and boring like a parody. Translated to English
Watched
When a minute-long scene after the credits carries more semantic load than an hour and a half film, it says something, for example, that the screenwriters (that is, Tom Hardy himself) have become lazy to the edge. Definitely, the film is included in the encyclopedia of the sludge of comic book adaptations. Translated to English
Watched
The graphics got a little better. There is no backstory. The formation of villains is compressed to 5 minutes. But the unhealthy relationship between Venom and Andy is 40 minutes. Good music is only on the credits. For the charisma of Tom Hardy and Vid Harrelson, apparently, they did not pay. Venom is an anigera now… Translated to English
Watched
Nuuuu… very short film, blurred and fast narrative. Designed as if for children 8-14 years old. If you do not have huge hopes for the film, you can get high from watching Translated to English
Watched
Approximately at the level of the first film and with the same frivolity. In fact, a self-repetition, but having the right to life. E. Serkis focused on the relationship between Brock and Venom, giving out a kind of superhero buddy-movie. It’s a pity that V. Harrelson disappointed a little, he was sure of the opposite. Translated to English
Watched
The same disappointment as the first part, but for the normal graphics and the scene after the credits, thanks :) Translated to English
Watched
An impressively embarrassing sight. I made a big bet on Harelson, but his charisma did not save the film. There is no hope for the multiverse, only the joy of recognition will work here. And damn it, there wasn’t a drop of blood! This is very ironic considering that carnage is a massacre. Translated to English
Watched
It’s very bad for a sequel, the actors either don’t fit the role or don’t try. The last battle is very long and the whole plot as a whole is crumpled. The only thing I liked was the scene after the credits. And so they tried to make a comedy with venom and came across inappropriate and unfunny jokes. Translated to English
Watched
I don’t know why, but! But I liked it more than the first part… and it’s so ragged, stupid and Marvel is in a frenzy 🤭 Translated to English
Watched
Twice already a film about such a cool character as Venom did not live up to expectations. Very short, because of this it looks torn. Too much with jokes, sometimes funny, but a lot of inappropriate. They made some kind of sucker out of Eddie’s character. maybe better Translated to English
Watched
Enchanting miscasting, replenished with new faces, returns in a damn primitive comic attraction. Hardy, where are you in, bro? Mochilovo of two alien amoebas is quite spectacular, and Brock and Venom’s body movie is funny. But overall, it’s a very stupid movie. 5.5 out of 10 Translated to English
Watched
Actually, I’m not a fan of Marvel, but sometimes, when you want something colorful and thoughtless, then … Everything has already been expressed, I summarize from myself. A short (!) Filmed for children (?) in an arcade style, but why – something with good actors, and the script is written on the knee. Worse than # 1, bad jokes. Serkis should not be Translated to English
Watched
It’s bad.. just bad. The film with the subtitle "Let there be massacre" was given a children’s rating (Woody did not take out the role of Cletus, Yes, and in general everything is sad ( Translated to English
Watched
I barely finished watching it, the first film was better, what will happen in the third part… Translated to English
Watched
Great, great, great movie. If you love movie comics, if you liked the first part, if you adore Marvel, then get up off the couch and run to the cinemas. Be sure to stay until the end and see the scene after the credits. I am overjoyed. Translated to English
Watched
Tom Hardy. Woody Harrelson. The long awaited continuation of the story. Incredible battle between Venom and Carnage. I expected a little more from the movie. Don’t miss the post-credits scene. Translated to English
Watched
There is no film at all, "Empty" is the most appropriate word, yes Hardy, yes Harrelson, yes the graphics are not bad, humor smiled in places, but there is no plot, everything is somehow chaotic, meaningless, and unnecessary. The movie is rubbish and I won’t be rewatching it. Translated to English
Watched
Such a cool little action movie, with a complete psycho, such stereotypical humor from venom, like, I’m your girlfriend want this, I want that, and you endure my whims and praise me – you’re nobody without me, the sucker looks easy, though the motives of the main villain are incomprehensible, really everything has evolved too fast Translated to English
Watched
The most notable fact about Venom 2 is the first movie I took beer to the cinema. Did not help. Such a chaotic, absolutely unnecessary and never funny film still needs to be made. It’s better to just find the post-credits scene on the Internet and forget about this misunderstanding. Translated to English
Watched
The first part is so-so for me, but this one was boring to watch even in the cinema. There is no plot, there are few action scenes and they are shot in a continuous mess, too much blah blah and tortured jokes from the flabby Hardy. A passing film for a bunch, which is confirmed by the scene after the credits. Translated to English
