PLOT…
Eddie Brock attempts to reignite his career by interviewing serial killer Cletus Kasady, who becomes the host of the symbiote Carnage and escapes prison after a failed execution.
Let there be Carnage is a slight step up from the original with bigger action, bigger effects and more Symbiote! These films may not be perfect and have mixed feelings among fans but they are great fun none the less, at least Venom himself looks awesome and is looking great like in the comics, maybe a tad too over-the-top with the humour sometimes but plenty of great action and fight scenes, Carnage was a great use for a villain even though he’s under used and short lived in the small run time. The effects are top notch to make these characters believable, hopefully the Spider-Man cross over will eventually come as it has now been hinted with the set up mid credits and its second hint at the end of the new Spider-Man movie. Great fun cast, good effects, plenty action, well worth a watch.
The Blu-ray looks great in HD and ULTRA-HD 4K.
The Blu-ray disc contains the features which there is plenty of including deleted scenes, outtakes, and lots of mini featurettes total run of around 48mins. and trailer.
Region FREE ABC. Running time 97mins. 2021.
English language. Plus many more audio and subtitle options.
The steel-book looks amazing with the same image front and back, and the 4 art-cards are fantastic.
This picks up a little after the first film and doesn’t do too much to fill any new viewers in. So they would be better off starting watching that.
If you have, read on.
This is a fifteen certificate thanks to strong language adult moments and gory bits, like the first film. So isn’t like your typical Marvel movie.
Eddie and Venom still share a body. Eddie gets an interview with convicted serial killer Cletus Kasady [Woody Harrelson], and this is a chance to get his journalistic career going again. But the Eddie Venom relationship, like that of any couple, can have ups and downs. And Cletus is interested in Eddie for a reason. He has a monster inside…..
Not a spoiler, thanks to the title, but Spider-Man readers will be familiar with the characters of Cletus and Carnage. Who are Eddie and Venom but much much worse. And this is their time on the big screen.
I quite enjoyed this movie. Which was a bit of a surprise, given that the first film didn’t quite manage to find it’s tone. But this does. As a mismatched odd couple bromance rom com. In that way, the character work between Eddie and Venom is really good. And often very funny.
I am not a Marvel comics reader though. If I was, I imagine I would be a bit disappointed with this. Because it doesn’t really do that much with the Carnage character. Woody Harrelson does his best to be a staring eyed psycho, and it’s a professional performance. But this works far better for the Eddie Venom stuff than anything else. It does though manage to skewer one potential cliche in a later moment, so I did enjoy it for that.
So my four stars is very much a matter of subjective opinion. And will possibly be in the minority. But that’s life.
There is an extra scene during the middle of the end credits, which is worth seeing.
The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:
Languages: English, Czech, Hungarian, Italian, Polish. English audio captioned.
Subtitles: English, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovene.
There is one extra: Let there be…action. A seven min long featurette, showing a lot of the action being filmed on set, and people talking about how it was done. It’s too brief to lack substance, like a fair few featurettes, but seeing some of the action sequences as they looked before visual effects were added is quite interesting.
