Overview of the film “Venom 2”: a minimum of massacre, maximum trash

02 October 2021kino and TV shows

First "Venom" Noteworthy is that he seized film critics with the audience as it was not possible even by new "Star Wars". Reviewers vying scolded him for a lazy script, kindergarten jokes and weak special effects, but the audience, judging by the estimates and fees, was arranged. She saw in the picture of Ruben Flyusher hello to the film comics of the early zero – not so emasculated, but tube. And at the same time brought Venom to the cashier of $ 800 million., So the appearance of the sequel was exclusively a matter of time. And it has come, albeit a little later than planned.

So, after the events of the first part, a year passed. The salvation of the world did not bring Eddie Brok any special dividends: he still lives in his bachelor’s den, makes ends meet and, moreover, is under investigation due to the explosion of the missile “Life”. Ann, by the way, did not return to him, and in general she and Dr. Dan are going to the wedding. Venom also lives out of place, because Brock holds it on a chocolate diet and does not allow to eat human brains at all, even if we are talking about some street scumbag. In general, symbiosis somehow did not ask-instead of peaceful proximity, there are only disputes and mutual insults. Moreover, the serial killer Klesidi, sitting behind bars, shows some unhealthy interest to Eddie: hesitates in an interview, calls a friend, sends strap cards. But these are all trifles compared to what is coming. As a result of an extremely unsuccessful combination of circumstances, part of the alien symbiot enters Cassidi's body, and it becomes a deadly monster, nicknamed Karnage.

If the first "Venom" resembled a superhero of the two thousandths, especially "Woman-cat" , then the second transfers straight to the dashing 90s-the era of Camp, kitsch and formal madness. He asks for one row with "Spaun" And "Batman and Robin" , And if you are able to enjoy them today, then "Venom 2" – Your movie.

Reviews do not lie: the toxic bromance of Brock and Venom is really one of the central plot lines of the film

First of all, the film is much brighter than the first part. Literally. Ruben Flyisher San Francisco turned out to be a pile of gray-brown boxes, and the final fight passed with such bad lighting that one symbiote could hardly be distinguished from the other. In the sequel, everything is different. The city was filled with neon lights and colorful locations like an abandoned shelter, the gloomy psychiatric hospital "Ravenkroft" or the luxurious Gothic cathedral. A little more and Gotham will turn out. And in general, everything is shot much juicier and more inventive than before. For Andy Serkis, this is only the third full-length as a director, but it is no longer shy about in a good way of showing a sudden animation insert. In addition, his huge experience with Motion Capture – both Venom and his enemy look and move by an order of magnitude more natural than in the first part. Here it would be possible to say that they are more lively than real actors, but it would be a frank lie.

Tom Hardy breaks away again, as the last time. In the sequel, he acted as a co -author of the script and surely sharply imprisoned the story under his proprietary buffoonery, which in the first Venoma conquered even those who spat from the film. But there, his charming troops and skirmishes with a drawn symbiote contrasted sharply with the general grayness and indistinct tone of the picture. Now on the screen a full -fledged circus, and clowning is one of the main numbers. And not only in the performance of Hardy himself.

What can be praised for a long time and unconditionally is how carnage is executed

Woody Harrelson is predictably beautiful in the role of carnage. He replayes as he has not replayed, it seems, since the time "Inquired killers" , but, as in the case of the acid satire of Oliver Stone, this is part of the idea. Cassidi Clesatus and should be a kind of ultra-maniac, similar to a marty-killer from “Who set up Roger's rabbit?". He will sing and droop, and will eat, like a crazy one, and his eyes terribly bullying – in general, he will do everything so that every appearance on the screen outside the appearance of a drawn monster is worth it.

But about Naomi Harris, who plays the beloved of a maniac, the same thing does not work. The mutant screech diligently depicts Harley with a jocker-carnage, but due to the lack of charisma, it is rather annoying. But Michelle Williams received much more interesting material than in the first part. Out of the love interest of Eddie, her heroine Anne was retrained into a sensible friend, whose share has a couple of relatively funny episodes.

In general, the fact that Venom 2 does not even try to cover its absurdity and comic, is beneficial to it. There is no longer any Summer for serious science fiction, horror or superhero – only a raketing thrash and carpet bombardment with jokes. Yes, not all of them fall on the target, but the quality is compensated by the number, so at least a couple of times you will certainly split.

Similarly with scenario solutions. The very story itself is nowhere, but the ideas in it are mixed in three films at once. Here is the conflict of Brock with Venom, and the formation of Cassidi, and underground experiments on mutants. It works, does not work – it doesn't matter. The main thing is that an hour and a half to be filled to capacity. The https://sister-site.org/patrick-spins/ fact that the film was cut desperately and not very neatly, noticeably naked eye – this is indicated by some of the clearly re -sounding dialogs and very awkward transitions from the stage to the stage to the stage. Although Andy Serkis says in an interview that the film from the very beginning thought dense and swift, it seems that at least an hour has remained on the floor in the installation floor.

And someone will probably be outraged by PG-13 rating. Say, here we have a maniac running and his heads are biting off, and on the screen not a drop of blood. However, this can be attributed not only to corporate greed, but also to loyalty to canons. In the end, in the most famous comic book about the carnage, the “maximum of the massacre”, to which the plot is partially sent, the massacre itself remains behind the scenes or far in the background, and this does not bother anyone much. Serkis and so Act made as strict as restrictions allowed. Although I still want to see some kind of “Serkiscat” once, where cosmic monsters are allowed to eat people not only with their backs to the camera.

Venom 2 – shamelessly stupid cinema, charming in its immediacy. Fans of the first film, it will almost guarantee even more than the original, but those who spit from it may well be reduced to another camp – so the heady atmosphere of fun reigns in this Shapito.
