Venom - 4K + Blu-ray + Digital

This is an MCU adjacent movie. It exists in the world of Spiderman, but the decision was to use it as a stand alone movie without using the black suit version of Spiderman to introduce Venom (as was done in Spderman 3), Therefore, the symbiots were brought to Earth from a space mission, killing all but one of the astronauts. They were discovered by the head of the company that funded the mission called Life Sciences, who then begins experimenting bonding the symbiots with homeless and drug addicted humans. Tom Hardy plays Eddie Brock, a former reporter who was fired and now doing freelance work. Of course, one of the symbiots joins with him to form Venom. The movie is a great blend of action and very dark humor. Because they did not use Spiderman, Venom is introduced in the anti-hero version of the character, doing bad things (mainly eating) bad guys. There is a great supporting cast including Jenny Slate, Scott Haze, Riz Ahmed, and Michelle Williams, who plays the ex-wife of Eddie Brock. She does a really great job playing off Tom Hardy, and brings a lot of the comedy to the movie, which is outside her usual acting roles. The best part of the movie is the discussions/arguments/bickering that goes on between Brock and Venom, mostly in Brock's mind which makes it look to everyone else like he is talking to himself. It also requires Hardy to do a lot of physical comedy, which he turns out to be great at. For those who get the 4K blu-ray, the movie looks and sounds great. On the UHD disc there is only the movie and the into the spiderverse preview. All the other extras are on the regular blu ray. Those include several deleted scenes, including an extended version of the end credits scene which teases where the next movie will go assuming it gets made, then about an hour's worth of making of and behind the scenes material mixed with some featurettes on the history of the Venom character. Definiitely a lot there, and very good. I cannot say everyone will like the movie, and it definitely pushes the PG-13 rating to the limit, mostly because of the language. There is a lot of swearing and some sexually suggestive jokes. It is closer to Deadpool than it is to say Avengers. But it puts a different twist on the MCU movies, and sets up a good possible franchise to exist in that universe. It worth checking out.

Perfect Sony/Marvel depiction of Venom. Wish it would have tied into the MCU as the symbiote on the beach in the end of the second movie was waiting to shine in the Tom Holland version of Spider-Man

Family and I really enjoyed this movie. From start to finish we had laughs and excitement. Watched over and over again over the last few months. So we had to leave a review. 2 Thumbs Up!

Great movie to watch if you are a fan of marvel movies

I'll come out and say this right away: Venom is my favorite super-hero Villain, so my review might be a little biased. But I don't think that matters, because this movie was made for people like me. People who LOVE Venom. Love his powers, love his wit, love his dark sense of humor. And this movie nails it! Spider-man is the franchise I grew up with as a kid, and Venom has always been his most memorable villain, at least for me. Growing up in the PS1 era, my grandmother had the PS1 Spider-man game, of which Venom is one of the central characters. Although scary, I quickly grew to love Venom due to his cocky, witty attitude, a perfect foil for Spider-man. For me, his is, and always will be, Spider-man's ultimate Nemesis, not because he's someone that has to be brought down, or even can be, but because he's someone who has a grudge against spidey but still understands the greater good. the only reason he is counted as a Villain in the comics and most media is because he's a foil to Spider-man. And this movie removes Spidey from the equation, yet still nails Venom's character, allowing him to become, strangely enough, this movie's hero (Anti-hero label or otherwise). As a Venom fan, and knowing how many different iterations of Venom there are, this was a breath of fresh air, for sure, but it also hit me right in the PS1-era nostalgic roots. Not because the graphics were garbage, like a PS1 (Venom in this movie is one of the most incredible CG effects I've ever seen!) but because Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock / Venom duo reminded me so much of the character I love without making him fight my favorite super hero, and that's amazing. Giving Eddie a more powerful foe to fight (and removing the setting from NY) gives Venom just enough breathing room to become it's own amazing movie, with enough tie in material to allow it to become part of a bigger web of movies in the future. If you're a Venom fan, this movie is made for you. Hands down. Such a worthy purchase.

I am a fan of VENOM. That being said, I REEEAAAALLLLLLYYYYY wanted to like the 3rd movie from back in the day. I liked that Eddie's attitude. The problem was that he just wasn't buff enough. BUT THIS FILM? hahahahahah I LOVED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not enough to point out all of the like 3,500 little tiny details that they put into the film about the symbiotes in the film. Little details like which ones look more fleshy & veiny (VENOM) versus Armored bio liquid (RIOT) Even the fact that VENOM refers to itself as a loser, kind of makes sense when you realize that it's not as gifted when it comes to "Fluid Fu" as Riot is. I find it that that particular fact, raises interesting questions about the symbiote world, and whether they're all given a "Fluid FU" test when they get old enough. Or maybe it's a multi~generational thing. Like symbiotes with good genetics are more "Fluid" in everything from movement to fighting? All interesting facts if you ask me. This isn't the most perfect movie I've ever seen. Not by a long shot. BUT, it is one of the best movies to introduce another potential series. I really hope they make a sequel. Now with the base facts down, they could just UNLEASH in the sequel.

Venom is an awesome movie that everyone should add to their Marvel collection. Tom Hardy makes a much better Eddie Brock than Topher Grace. The one thing that did bother me about Tom Hardy, is that, he reminded me of Nick (Jake Johnson) from that show New Girl. He seemed to have almost the exact same quarks, antics, and almost talk the same way too. The picture, sound, special effects, and CGI are absolutely amazing in this movie! I also think 4k is spoiling me. Whenever I used to watch movies on DVD and Blu-ray, the dark scenes were always horrible to watch because you could barely see what was going on, but with 4k, the dark scenes are almost perfect when you watch them and you don't have to strain your eyes to figure out what's going on. I highly recommend this movie to everybody! I looked at Tom Hardy's profile to see when the next one would be coming out and there isn't any listed yet, but I read he signed on to do several sequels. I hope everybody enjoys this movie as much as I did.

I really enjoyed this and had to get the other two. Love that it’s through here I don’t need to keep track of the dvd remote lol

A really amazing steelbook! It is of great quality and works fine. The item arrived undamaged thanks to the seller's packaging, and arrived earlier than expected. I faced no problems with the seller or the delivery. I just love this version! Thank you seller!

What was an average superhero / villain origin story has been given new life in the 3D format. Great effects, thundering sound and awesome 3D picture makes this release worth the effort of tracking down. Hard to find in 3D but you will be rewarded with a top movie experience.

Il film è stato ingiustamente attaccato da alcune testate giornalistiche che lo hanno definito orrendo, ma gli 800 milioni di incassi ovviamente dimostrano la grande qualità di questo titolo Sony. Il film è ben fatto, Tom Hardy si conferma un grande attore e riesce a calarsi bene nella parte. Passando ora a pacco e custodia protettiva, il pacco Amazon è sempre lo stesso ed è arrivato in perfette condizioni, la custodia invece è fin troppo debole, e da l’imore di rompersi ad ogni apertura.

日本版には3Dが無いという情報を聞いたので外版を探していましたが、やっぱり海外には3Dあるんですね～。 でなにが「ラッキー！」かと言いますと・・・なんと3D版には日本語、字幕・吹替、両方入っているんです。もちろんリージョンOK！ 2D版は既に鑑賞済でしたがバイクチェイスシーンに感動してどーしても3Dで見たくなって手に入れてしまいました。 残念ながら2D版に日本語関係は一切、なかったのですが、まあ目的は3D版でしたので大満足でした。 時々、こんな「ラッキー！」な外版があったりするんですがこの理由はなんなんでしょうね？とりあえず日本市場向けに制作はしといて営業会議で却下！ってことなんですかね？ 不思議だ、、、。

Klasse Film 👍 Kann Ich Nur Empfehlen
