Venom: Let There Be Carnage keeps it simple

Instead of being a sequel that attempts to live on a grander scale, Venom: Let There Be Carnage focuses on the strengths of the previous film in order to make a more enjoyable movie-watching experience. While struggling to coexist with his symbiotic companion known as Venom (Tom Hardy), Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) attempts to reconcile with his ex, Ann Weying (Michelle Williams) and revive his journalism career by interviewing the convicted serial killer Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson). After a physical confrontation with Brock, and a taste of his blood, Kasady transforms into the bloodthirsty symbiote known as Carnage. After breaking out of prison, Kasady goes on a rampage to find the person he loves. Brock and Venom must settle their problems and work together to stop Carnage. 

The relationship between Venom and Brock is the star of the movie. While Brock wants to lay low due to the events of the previous movies and live a normal life, Venom wants to fight criminals and eat their brains. Even though they have a rocky relationship, Brock and Venom do care about and support each other. Brock wants to prevent Venom from being found to keep him safe while Venom tries to help Brock any way he can, he even helps Brock  find where Kasady hid his missing victims. Harrelson delivers a great performance as Kasady and Carnage, making them an intimidating foe for Brock and Venom. 

However, it is a shame that Kasady does not have a more noticeable reaction towards his new powers. He walked out of the prison like he did not turn into a monster with tendrils, claws, and a nastier attitude than his own. 

The action scenes are wild and a treat to see, but they can be confusing to look at when most scenes take place at night. In 90 minutes, Venom: Let There Be Carnage provides a simple, yet entertaining movie with chaotic action, enjoyable characters, and humor to keep your eyes on the screen.
