With all of the love and attention that so many classic Marvel heroes have been getting over the years in the explosion of comic book movies, it was about time that one Marvel’s greatest and most captivating monsters got some time in the Sun too. Guided by Director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Gangster Squad), Venom brings the iconic symbiotic, extra-terrestrial lifeform of the same name to life in all of its horrifying glory in one of the most action packed films of the year. Brimming with awesome performances from Tom Hardy, Michelle, Woodie Harrelson, and many others, Venom is for everyone who roots for the villain in every good vs. evil struggle. (Simon Weedn)
