I can absolutely tell you that critics can and have been objective when discussing the more technical aspects of a film. Sure, stuff like performances are always subjective (though if there's a bunch of people saying "So and So did a bad job it's a pretty good sign that So and So does a bad job) but a movie's script and action scenes or cinematography or editing are all very easy to be objective about. If a bunch of critics are saying the same thing about a movie, in this case that "Tom Hardy is the best thing about Venom" it's pretty easy to assume that the rest of the movie isn't so good.

Of course, some people might view the movie differently or find things they like about it that make it worth their ticket price. But that doesn't invalidate the critics and their perspectives.

I guess we shall see come the next couple of weeks when I'll be able to see it (hopefully).

Not fully, no. I didn't like Inception but I don't think it's a bad movie. But by that same token I didn't like The Dark Knight Rises and I do think it's a bad movie, but that one for way more technical reasons such as the script, the action, and how stupid it all is.

You stated "And Tom Hardy has done at least six bad movies: This Means War, Child 44, RockNRolla, The Dark Knight Rises, Scenes of a Sexual Nature and Inception.", yet you are telling me now that you don't think Inception is a bad movie after stating it is a bad movie?

Uh...

Yes. I'm learning from the expert and making a funny bait post for the lulz.

Inception is technically impressive, the practical twisty hallway is a really good visual, and conceptually the movie is an interesting take on what would otherwise be a normal heist movie, I just don't feel that everything comes together quite as well as it should apart from the clever bit of world building with the literal world building with the maze metaphor. The impressive bits work for me even if the characters don't.

It was good, then it was dumb. I personally don't think it was bad. That's just my opinion but I don't care enough about superhero type of stuff to defend it more than a few posts. From what I know it seemed to follow the source material enough to check that box, had a decent enough plot, a villain with a motivation other than to be a villain. Only problem I had was it felt kind of slow to reach the second act and towards the end the motivations of some characters got kind of confusing (Scenes were almost certainly cut that would gleam information about this).

If a sequel was to be made, I would likely watch it.

It really wasn't. Tom Hardy did a very good job (as he tends to), and the scenes featuring Eddie and Venom are very good. The action was ok, the cgi was a little wack. It could have been better, much better, but it was certainly a fine movie.

Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams are the only two actors in Venom who give a shit, yeah. But by my merits it's a wonky mess of a film that was not good by any measure. I had fun with it. But, yeah, I did not like it.

And Justice League has an audience of 74% so clearly audiences are stupid.

So, Scott Wilson died due to complications from leukemia today. Just thought to put this here if anyone liked his work or enjoyed any movies he starred in.

So you say. Granted, I haven't watched that or any other super hero movies in several months now. Kind of tired of the same old same old. The Marvel films aren't that great once you watch them a second time, but that's just me.
