No Venom for Venom

I finally saw Venom. I had to admit that I had my doubts that this was going to work, even after I heard that it made almost a billion dollars at the box office. I wasn't sure the Venom character could stand on his own without Spider-Man.

But I was pleased to see that I was wrong. Venom was a great deal of fun. Tom Hardy was great as Eddie Brock. I'm tempted to say that he was also good as Venom, but he was buried under so much CGI (assuming he was even there) whenever Venom was on screen. And having Michelle Williams as his girlfriend was a great idea; she really classed up the proceeding with her presence.

I'm looking forward to the sequel, especially since they hinted at who Venom will be facing next time in a scene during the credits sequence, as well as the great actor who'll be playing him. If the Venom films keep getting better with each installment, who needs Spider-Man?
