Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 1h 6 mins) While Eddie is holed up at Coit Tower trying to find Cletus, several helicopters pass by looking for Venom and Carnage. This was actually not planned; the helicopters flying by were actually part of the shoot for The Matrix Resurrections (2021), which was filming in the same part of San Francisco as Let There Be Carnage during their shoots. Instead of waiting for a clearer shot, Andy Serkis thought it would make sense for helicopters to be roving around during the scene and left it, adding additional dialogue by Tom Hardy in ADR afterward to mention them.
- Goofs(at around 53 mins) When Shriek is reversing the mustang she reaches into the center to pull the emergency brake, but in the 1966 Mustang the emergency brake is a handle on the left side of the driver.
- Quotes
[from trailer; Venom controls Eddie's arm to slap Dan]
Eddie Brock: Oh! I am so sorry!
Venom: NOT sorry!
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There is a scene in the closing credits: Venom and Brock are transported to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Venom sees J. Jonah Jameson's expose of Peter Parker, from Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019), on TV.
- Alternate versionsA deleted scene set shortly after Kasady escapes death by lethal injection and frees Shriek with the help of the Carnage symbiote. Here we get a better idea of the symbiote's plans for the world, as he wants to use his new allies to wipe out humanity and replace them with a new race of human/symbiote hybrids.

Featured review
I had a good time with this movie. It's fun and pretty funny with some entertaining action.
It's also very messy with regards to the story, action and dialogue. The action isn't as good as the first and neither is the music. The story brings no value. And there are some stupid moments.
I also can't stand that it's not rated R. I could say that about the first, but it did a great job of pushing the limits while also not having too many moments where it was obvious it would have been better with blood. This movie has SOOO many moments where it could have been amazing if they went all out. It felt so censored.
I try to always have no expectations going into a movie. And I knew going in that even though I loved the first one, that doesn't make this one bulletproof. But looking back on it, a movie about carnage could have been so much more. It was underwhelming. Also I wish I got more development from Cletus and Carnage.
One more thing, Tom Hardy and Andy Serkis are awesome. But writing and directing are talents that very few have. I think it shows here and I would have preferred veterans at those crucial positions.
I'll caveat this review by saying I couldn't understand a lot of the dialogue, especially from Venom. We'll see if that changes anything when I watch it with subs.
Edit: I watched it again with subs. It didn't help. Still underwhelming. So many parts just feel off. And some scenes are straight up bad (cooking breakfast scene smh). Changing it from 6 to 5 stars. Sad face.
