Critics Consensus: A sequel aimed squarely at fans of the original's odd couple chemistry, Venom: Let There Be Carnage eagerly embraces the franchise's sillier side.

Venom should be threatening first and foremost, with only the occasional hint of whimsy as a means of subversion. Never in my whole life have I wanted to see Venom flip pancakes or wear glow sticks at a rave. He's almost a parody of himself in this movie.

The film fails to use Carnage effectively and seems like it would be better off without him.

Some may be able to coast through the 93 minutes ignoring the movie’s glaring flaws. I wish I could. Instead I kept seeing glimpses of the movie I wish this had been.

The comedy in Venom 2 Let there be carnage was great, until it wasn't

It's knowingly absurd, boasts a self-aware lead and moves quickly — when the climax hits, it feels like everything before it breezed by — but Let There Be Carnage remains a slog.
