Venom - Did The Symbiote Spin-Off Spun Well?

As we still await the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we can  take a look on the characters still under the Marvel mantel particularly the symbiote series which features the anti-hero Venom. Though we have seen him in Spider-Man 3, this spin-off franchise is getting mixed feeling for both fans and viewers.

For this version, Tom Hardy takes on the role of Eddie Brock who is an investigative journalist who is out to discover the secrets of the Life Foundation headed by Carton Drake. As he tries to dig deep further into the mysterious company, he gets webbed in to a more complicated mess and eventually got to be the host of one of the symbiotes.

It was made clear that they are not linked to the current MCU, but the vast characters that can be derived from it gave it the structure to build its own universe. However there are some problems we saw along the way. One of them are continuity problems that are quite forgivable but maybe an eyesore for the observant eye.

Experience the Impossible Journey to the Moon in "First Man"

Based on James R. Hansen’s book “First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong,” Universal Pictures’ First Man reveals intimate insights into the global hero’s private life and previously unknown character-defining moments.  

Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle (La La Land) approached the film from interior angles in order to immerse audiences in this impossible journey.  

Chazelle’s fascination with the messiness of mastery drew him to Armstrong’s story.  As well, his interest in injecting into a massive period movie—one filled with action set-pieces—a genuine sense of raw spontaneity felt like a natural evolution.  While the director admits that type of filmmaking is usually impossible within the constraints imposed by scale or big technical effects, he felt that a tight collaboration with Ryan Gosling—extending to their bond with their fellow production team—would make it feasible.
