Looks sort of idiosyncratic in the way comic book movies like Blade used to be. Doesn't mean it will be any good, but it at least looks more interesting and performance oriented than the mainline MCU movies which are complete sewage.

Tom Hardy making the most of a paycheck to practice his weird rear end twitchy voices. Love that man.

Free to roam the heavens in man's noble quest to investigate the weirdness of the universe!

I have come to realize that I have no idea what Tom Hardy actually sounds like normally.

For some reason, the scream/yell/shout from that goon after the "We are Venom" line really bothers me. It's such a lovely sound and breaks up the flow so much that I can't help but fixate on it. Why not end the trailer on "We are Venom"?

Five months out, some effects are likely unfinished. The symbiote looks fine as is, though, it would be much more unbelievable if it looked like a suit rather than a creature wearing Eddie Brock for internal structure.

I imagine it's like his character in RocknRolla: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqrYAcljRZo
He is also in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but he might sound a bit posh (edit: fancier?) in that.

I was more referencing how many super hero movies have an aversion to explicitly naming their villain the way they do with the hero.

He has a south London accent but he's kind of like a chameleon when speaking depending where he is. Here's an interview from 2010.

Nothing about the production quality looks "bad" per se I guess. And Tom Hardy seems fine as usual.

It's just that the idea just seems sooooo Comic Booky (complete with generic evil villain and bland "science-y" settings) that when literally translated on screen it just looks so generic and uninteresting.

And the 1:1 literal interpretation of Venom just doesn't translate well to screen for me. If there was ever anything ripe for a really interesting cinema conversion, it'd be this.

No kidding.

The Venom reveal looked so awful, the voice sounds super corny... I feel like it should be more raspy and almost Darkness Mike Patton-esque, and Tom Hardy sounds like he has has downs syndrome.

Also I predict that Venom himself will be in the movie for approximately 10 minutes total.

I don't know much from comic books, but I thought Eddie Brock was supposed to be kind of an rear end in a top hat, not the intrepid, righteous investigative journalist the trailer paints him as. Hence his whole "violent antihero/villain" shtick. I might be wrong, natch.

It’s a Sony movie trailer so that “we are Venom” shot is actually the last shot of the movie.

Eddie has been around for so long he’s been everything at one point or another.

Venom's voice is about 40% Movie Trailer Guy and Brock's voice starts out with a smidgin of Elmer Fudd but gets Fuddier and Fuddier when he gets more panicky towards the end of the trailer.

It was not.

Maybe good if you just want a stupid movie set in the 1930s with tons of blood and no actual personality or a story.

Zombieland is pretty lousy, and Gangster Squad is even worse, so unless 30 Minutes or Less is a real hidden gem, shouldn't be surprising that Venom is looking rough.
