- The first social-media reactions to "Venom" are in after the movie's world premiere on Monday.
- They paint a mixed picture, with some saying it's a "complete failure" and others enjoying its surprising humor.
- One thing everyone seems to agree on, though, is that Tom Hardy gives a bizarre performance.
"Venom," the latest superhero movie based on the popular Spider-Man villain, is either an entertaining buddy-cop movie or as bad as "Catwoman," depending on who you ask.
The frst social-media reactions to the movie poured in Monday night after the film's world premiere, and they paint a mixed picture. One thing everyone seems to agree on, however, is that, compared to his co-stars, Tom Hardy gives a bizarre performance as Eddie Brock, the reporter who is consumed by the alien symbiote called Venom.
Some critics despised the movie, calling it a "complete failure" and a "tonal mess." Others actually liked it a lot, saying it's surprisingly funny (maybe without intending to be) and to not take it too seriously.
Below are some early reactions to the movie:
Many straight-up hated "Venom."
Some people were confused, or even fascinated, by Tom Hardy's bizarre performance.
Some had purely mixed feelings.
There were still plenty who liked it.
And it's at least better than "The Emoji Movie."
"Venom" comes to theaters on Friday.
