Riot also takes over Drake no problems too.
#Eddie brock king in black movie
Add to that, later on in the movie the symbiote Venom seems to have no problem taking over Brock's ex-girlfriend and a dog. But at the same time, the symbiote Riot seems to be jumping from human to human no probs at all.

Drake is going through loads of human test subjects trying to find a human that will bond with the symbiote. So what exactly is their plan of action for Earth? Eat every human and.? Then what? Is this all they do?Īt the start of the movie we are led to believe that it's hard to find the correct match for the symbiote. The symbiotes are looking for a planet with hosts they can take over and consume, OK. I'm guessing there have been many changes. Now I'm not up on every Marvel character so I don't know how accurate this movie is to the original source material. We then follow Brock as he adjusts to the alien inside him, Drake and his goons coming after Brock, and eventually the last surviving symbiote taking over Drake resulting in Riot.

The aliens need an oxygen-breathing host to survive.Īs you might imagine Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) eventually gets into this corporations HQ (with help from an employee) and is accidentally taken over by one of the symbiotes. In the meantime Drake starts to experiment on humans, trying to get the aliens to match with a host. Bringing four specimens back to Earth one escapes and causes the shuttle to crash which unleashes it. Whilst on a deep space mission a corporation led by the evil Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed) manages to discover a comet covered in symbiotic lifeforms. Whatever rumours or stories we can all agree that for some reason the powers that be really wanted a Venom movie. There was also an idea to have a low budget adult version. There was also an idea to have Venom in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'. There were ideas to have Venom kickstart his own franchise which would share the same universe as other Marvel characters. Initially plans seemed to revolve around having Venom get in on the action in the rebooted 'The Amazing Spider-Man' franchise, but that failed. So after the somewhat dismal iteration of Venom in 'Spider-Man 3' Sony went back to the drawing board. I can't really call it a good movie, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it.Īnother day, another comicbook movie. There's a part of me that hates it for denying us a legit Venom movie with Spider-Man and Carnage and maybe an R-rating, but I can't deny I was pretty damn entertained through most of it. Venom is a dumb movie, but it's the right kind of dumb. Yes the final one does fall back into two CGI creations banging into each other, but his apartment takeover at the beginning is fun and the motorcycle chase with tons of practical explosions, both are creative and cool. The action scenes are pretty fun and creative too. It didn't always work, but it was consistently entertaining. He's going all out with this weirdass performance. It's not Venom at all, but it is a helluva lot of fun to watch and Hardy totally sells it. A big part of that is the weird bromance between Tom Hardy and the symbiote. However, from that perspective.yeah, the movie's actually quite a bit of fun. It's more like the superhero movies we got in the 90s, where they only had a vague connection to their source character and were never tied to any larger universe. In fact, it's kind of despicable how irresponsible it isn't a Venom movie. Let's make one thing clear: this is not a Venom movie. I went into this movie with extremely lowered expectations, and from that perspective I actually had fun with it. Rating: PG-13 (Intense Sci-Fi Violence|Action|Language) Twisted, dark and fueled by rage, Venom tries to control the new and dangerous abilities that Eddie finds so intoxicating. While investigating one of Drake's experiments, Eddie's body merges with the alien Venom - leaving him with superhuman strength and power. Journalist Eddie Brock is trying to take down Carlton Drake, the notorious and brilliant founder of the Life Foundation.
