Like the title character, Venom, a deep-voiced cartoony many-toothed alien parasite with a permanently protruding tongue that somehow doesn't get bitten off, this Marvel superhero genesis story is in a desperate race to reach symbiosis: Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock, Venom's host, is one minute sitting with a deathly pallor in a restaurant fishtank eating live lobsters and the next is exchanging wisecracks with his new partner in fighting street crime — I didn't want to watch it, but the movie needed twenty more minutes to calmly set things up instead of quick-sticks racing to a scribbly mess of a climax because, presumably, there are more episodes to make.
