What kind of watch this is
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is a 97-minute action film where a symbiote and a serial killer go toe to toe. It leans into the absurdity of its premise with a straight face. The tagline, "You are what you eat," sets the tone for a movie that treats cosmic horror like a slapstick rivalry. It is less about deep alien mythology and more about two loud men screaming at each other. If you enjoy watching Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson trade insults, this delivers exactly that.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes sits at 57% as of November 2022, with an average rating of 5.5/10 from October 2021. Metacritic lands on 49/100 as of July 2025, labeling the reception mixed or average. The consensus notes the film leans into its sillier side, targeting fans of the original's dynamic. Critics generally praised Hardy and Harrelson’s chemistry, though they often dinged the screenplay. Christy Lemire of RogerEbert.com enjoyed Hardy’s "gung-ho physical performance." Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal found the film manipulative, relying on "cheerfully ridiculous" tentacles.
How it did with audiences
The budget was $110 million, and the worldwide take hit $493 million. That is a healthy margin, though not quite the spectacle the opening weekend suggested. In the United States, it pulled in $212 million, with Russia, the United Kingdom, and Mexico rounding out the top international markets. On TMDB, users give it a 6.7 out of 10.
What came next for the cast
Tom Hardy moved from The Dark Knight Rises to The Bikeriders. Woody Harrelson left the Hunger Games saga for Triangle of Sadness. Michelle Williams stepped out of Shutter Island and into The Fabelmans. Naomie Harris followed Skyfall with Black Bag. The credits do not prove this film caused that shift. They just mark the time.
