'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' Review: More Buddy Comedy Than Comic Book Flick

Venom Let There Be Carnage Tom Hardy review

Tom Hardy returns as Eddie Brock along with his pal Venom for a bromance-filled plot lacking in action in the follow-up to 2018's VENOM. The main attraction is Hardy's hilarious and endearing performance in the buddy comedy, but on the superhero front VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE doesn't live up to the title.

'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Review:' An MCU Movie That Deserves Multiple Viewings

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings 

SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS is so beautifully crafted, the Marvel movie will leave you wanting to see it again and again. Simu Liu is perfectly cast as the MCU’s newest Avenger as one who exudes heart, humor and kick-ass martial arts skills. Tony Leung as the real Mandarin also steals the show and rights past MCU wrongs. SHANG-CHI is a very different sort of MCU film and a welcome one to kick off the next phase in the MCU.
