We made it, one last dance to go.
Eddie is in Mexico, and decides to go back to America because he's in trouble and... the movie needs to happen. But there is an alien creature (I've already forgotten the name) that's after him for some macguffin that exists in him that can release the Final Fantasy villain, but the alien can only track him when he's in full symbiote mode. So Eddie goes into full symbiote mode and every opportunity, and eventually they end up at Area 51 where there are a lot of other symbiotes, and the second half of this movie is just one big extended CGI fight scene of symbiotes we don't know fighting that one creature until the movie ends.
As you might be able to guess, I wasn't that impressed by it. I'm sure there are some out there that deeply care about these characters, but the movie doesn't, and give very surface level characterisations. One guy is military, one guy is hippie dad, one woman is scientist because her brother died (this is the biggest character beat anyone gets), and one woman is there because... they need other people? Tom Hardy barely seems to interact with anyone, just schlubbing his way through the movie, which could be a deep character point about Eddie, but just comes across as him not caring about how he's on screen.
As I said, the second half is basically a CGI fest of a large number of symbiotes that no-one whos they are without a scorecard, and they don't stick around long enough to matter anyway. The big ending between Eddit and Venom is... what happens, but since they are an annoying pair, I'm not sad to see them go.
Apparently Sony is giving up on SPUMC, so there is a big likelihood we are done with these... until they are rebooted on screen again in the future.
