Author Topic: Venom (2018) Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-06-2018 11:04 PM                        Well this is a contender for the noisiest movie of the fall season, I'll give it that. It also has the most ridiculous credits sequence in superhero-movie history. It has the "featured" credits - about 3 minutes Then a mid-credits scene - about 1:40 Then the crawl credits - another 12:00 Then a 3-minute excerpt (not really a trailer) for the upcoming animated Spiderman movie (3 minutes) Followed by some more credits for about half a minute. All adding up to TWENTY MINUTES of credits + bullshit. It's as bad as that Glen Campbell classic, "Rock A Doodle," which also had insanely-long credits. Oh, the movie? Eh. It's a "dark" Marvel flick, which is about all you need to know, or at least that's all I need to know.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-07-2018 09:26 PM                        I sat and watched this movie again today with my wife and a group of friends. I have to admit I enjoyed it more the second time. It's still never going to make my "buy the blu-ray" list but I thought it was above average for a Marvel flick -- probably because it has a small cast and you don't have to have seen 7 other movies to follow it. I'll give it 2.5 out of four stars. Might have been 3 except that credit sequence is incredibly annoying.  |  IP: Logged Dave Bird Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 777 From: Perth, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jun 2000 posted 10-08-2018 07:47 AM                        I miss movies up to and including the 70's for using Opening Credits + "The End". I also miss film in this case, for obvious reasons. Those credits are ridiculous.  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues.

Wackiness ensues. I was pleasantly surprised by this. It was way more fun than I had been led to believe. Not quite on the level of "Ant-Man" but kind of in that direction. And it didn't overstay its welcome. I didn't have an issue with the credits because I got up and left when they started. YOU CAN DO THAT, you know. You can TOTALLY DO THAT.  |  IP: Logged
