Venom (2018) is a polarizing superhero origin story that works largely as a "guilty pleasure" due to Tom Hardy's manic, dual-role performance as Eddie Brock and the symbiote. While suffering from dated narrative structures, a slow first act, and uneven CGI, the film thrives on its comedic "buddy cop" dynamic and a commitment to absurd humor.
