La stampa americana ha visto Venom e – come da tradizione – si è lasciata andare ai primissimi commenti a caldo sull’attesissimo cinecomic con Tom Hardy.
Stando alle reazioni spuntate via Twitter nelle ultime ore, il film non è stato particolarmente apprezzato, nonostante alcuni critici abbiano gradito le scene più divertenti e – in generale – la performance del protagonista.
Potete leggere alcuni commenti di seguito:
Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and #Venom has some really entertaining moments. A clunky script without nuance bogs the #Venom down, preventing it from choosing between being gritty, funny, or something unique.

Significant chunks of #Venom don’t work *at all* but there is some serious charm to the Eddie/Venom relationship. Not sure I had the intended reactions to some scenes but fun is fun – even when it’s totally ridiculous, right? It’s too bad they didn’t go for the R rating though.

#Venom wasn’t as bad as everyone was saying it was going to be. Tom Hardy is and always will be a great actor, and I laughed a lot — but I’m not sure whether that was intentional or not. Post-credit scene is 🔥

Social embargo for #Venom is up. I talk about this a lot in my review but this is a movie that somehow slipped through a wormhole from 2004. That’s my biggest take. It’s a movie that spilled from the pre-MCU era through a crack in time and space.

Now that impressions can be shared: #Venom is pretty much this year’s Fant4stic. Everyone except for Hardy is coasting through their performance… I would hate to have to do press for this movie. #Venom #TomHardy

I wrote about VENOM. It’s ridiculously bad, but I had the best time watching it. No clue what movie Tom Hardy is in, but it’s not this one. Wish all bad movies were this fun. https://t.co/JP5FGOiCxv

Tom Hardy’s performance in #Venom is either Johnny Depp in the first PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN or Chris Klein in STREET FIGHTER: THE LEGEND OF CHUN-LI. Either way, it’s not boring.

Sorry to say that #Venom is pretty much a complete failure – a tonal mess that feels 15 years old, ignoring the storytelling strides that the superhero genre has made in recent years.
A few fun Venom-centric moments aside, it has nearly nothing to offer. Don’t get your hopes up.

Le prime reazioni della stampa americana all’attesissimo Venom
Venom, che avrà come protagonista Tom Hardy, sarà diretto da Ruben Fleischer, regista di Benvenuti a Zombieland e Gangster Squad. Le riprese si sono svolte in Atlanta e a New York. Il film, che non farà parte del MCU ma darà vita ad un universo a se stante che avrà come protagonisti i comprimari dell’universo di Spider-Man (tra cui anche Black Cat e Silver Sable), sarà vietato ai minori.
Nel cast del film ci saranno anche Riz Ahmed (The Night Of, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), in un ruolo non ancora annunciato ufficialmente, la candidata all’Oscar Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine, Marilyn), Jenny Slate (Gifted, Obvious Child), Scott Haze (Child of God, Midnight Special, Only the Brave) e Reid Scott (star della serie Veeep).
La pellicola (qui il trailer italiano ufficiale) arriverà nelle nostre sale il 4 ottobre 2018 e sarà sceneggiata da Scott Rosenberg e Jeff Pinkner, sceneggiatori del nuovo Jumanji con Dwayne Johnson; la major ha approfittato dello spazio lasciato libero da Aquaman (il cinecomic DC con Jason Momoa è stato infatti posticipato di due mesi). La sceneggiatura era stata inizialmente affidata la scorsa primavera a Dante Harper, mentre ad occuparsi della produzione saranno Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach e Amy Pascal.
