Venom design looks cool, but I'm getting serious CW super hero show vibes from the trailer.

To be completely fair... It's VENOM.

A movie about Venom that isn't straight up 90's-style excess, cheese, and forced grim-dark/goofy nutcase isn't any Venom I know.

I dunno, he signed on because he said he's a huge Venom fan. I think his Brock looked good. Looking forward to see how it pans out in full movie.

I want to believe! Hardy is a great actor, but something was just off. Maybe they just picked poor clips. The double talk and look of venom is good though, so at least there is something to look forward to. I've been wanting a good venom movie since Marvel vs Capcom lol.

This looks bad. Tom Hardy just seems weird in his line delivery, the villain looks really limp. Nothing about this captures anything that was interesting about Venom in other mediums. Why is it so hard for other companies to get Marvel's characters right?

Haven't read the thread, but has anyone mentioned everyone in the trailer is talking at a 4th grade level? Like, straight up childlike dialogue.

Still interested, but expectations are way low.

The trailer reminds me Venom is a decent concept when you divorce him from the whole "hates Spider-Man" thing. The whole "two personalities cooperating with one body, one nice and one violent" idea is always fun.

The problem is that nothing else about the movie looks interesting outside Tom Hardy and the symbiote.

This film may end up being okay, but I'd be remiss if I didn't say I am disappointed I'll never see this.

This was the first issue of Spiderman I ever bought and what got me into comics. So much of what made Venom a great villain wasn't just his strength but the shared hatred both Brock and the symbiote had for Parker. That and they knew all his secrets.
It's unfortunate Sony wasn't thinking long game. We could still have gotten this film, but it could have been a story of redemption, and the idea of an antihero would have resonated more, if he had been one of Spidey's greatest foils first.
hey I have that issue!

Does anyone know if he as the spider logo on his chest and back?
Doesn't look like it from the brief look we got.

Also wouldn't make sense without the connection to Spider-Man. Though I guess they could alter the white logo so it looks less spiderish and is just some sort of pattern.

I'm in, probably gonna be a sleeper hit for this year. Eddie and the Symbiote talking to each other is a great touch, the symbiote is a living thing and giving it a conscious could make for some great banter. If the "we are venom" scene is only half way in and we haven't seen shit yet, I expect a great second half and 3rd Act. Also like how it looks more organic, unlike SM3 which just venomized the Black Suit.

Who is the actress playing the scientist who says "sym-bi-ote"? She sounds just like a voice actress I've heard in kids cartoons before, am I mistaken?

This could have been Marvel/Sony's Deadpool. R rated Venom with an eventual link into the MCU via Spiderman cameo near the end would have been great and it would have been cool as fuck if they linked Life to it. It certainly would have put more asses on seats.

Ehhh.

I... Actually started to think this movie might be interesting, although the lack of spiderman is going to be weird... If they go through with that.

The woman's pronunciation of symbiote is going to get on my nerves.

He'd look weird with just a black chest, it would throw off the design. They ought to have some kind of white pattern there.

Loved: Suit design
Hated: Symbiote (why....?)

Still hopeful. If Marvel is working on this in conjunction with Sony, it'll be a great movie. Just like SM:H.

Kind of where I was about to go. From a design stand point agent venom or Spider Man 2099 eyes may have worked better to pull him away from the design of Spider man if he is missing the logo (which I hope)

I have to watch this purely for Willimas and Hardy.

Also Venom defined part of the 90s for me.

Having watched the trailer, this seems more like a Toxin movie than Venom. For one thing Toxin was the only symbiote you hard talking to the host. Venom and Carnage always did the "We" thing

Yikes, I hope this encourages Disney to make a big offer to get the Spider-man movie rights back. That cgi was disgusting, just imagining Spider-man's cgi suit next to this one is laughable. The acting didn't seem that bad compared to the cgi and dialogue.

Haven't read through the thread to see if anyone has mentioned, but parts of this trailer made me feel like it was a live action The Darkness movie.
