Venom is the latest in a long line of movies starring Marvel characters. And because the big character all already have films, we’re stuck with the second string.

Venom may be a second string character, but is his movie, which tells his origin story any good? IGN reviewed Venom to find out…

As far as IGN is concerned, Venom isn’t a good movie. It doesn’t quite know what it wants to be, and if it wasn’t for Tom Hardy, Venom would be a complete disaster.

As it is Venom is just below average. I’ll probably watch Venom eventually, but it’s no must see at in theaters on day one. Which is a shame.
