Like many Sony attempts to fulfil the needs of the Marvel fans’ expectations of how the surrounding Spider-Man players would fare in their own film, the downgrading of Venom over time has seriously demolished what was perhaps the finest character outside of the MCU, and whilst the initial story of the alien symbiote who melded with Eddie Brock was startlingly good fun, offering Tom Hardy the chance to play a part for fun, in its third outing, Venom: The Last Dance, the enjoyment has become at best a middling affair, given a small dosage of high craft in its appearance, but very little else to give the creature, or Tom Hardy, the gravitates they both deserve.

Despite the seriousness of the storyline, the undertones of institutional abuse and the outright red flags of cruelty, neglect and violence, Andy Serkis’ Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a romp, a graphic book large screen hybrid, a mutation of fine comedy underpinned by the gravity of murderous revenge.

There was a time when Todd McFarlane’s name was as arguably huge as the house of Marvel itself, an artist who breathed new and exciting life into the company for his work on Spider-man and who brought into being one of the most dynamic, deadliest characters in the world to fruition. Todd McFarlane’s name deserves recognition and awe in the same breath as Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Alex Ross and John Romita, a name that will undoubtedly endure and give graphic novel fans the chills when they think of one particular character above them all, that of Venom.

It is a struggle at times to show sympathy to someone who is intent on hurting themselves artistically, to whom the relationship between film lover and the offering on the screen is far below par and mainly due to the insistence of saccharine in the diet, leaves you feeling sluggish, desperate for something, anything to add a punch to overload placed before you. It is a struggle but one that seems to be forever on the menu, just slightly dished up in a different casing, in numerous sweet deserts, it is the feeling that you are Home Again and nothing has truly changed.
