![]() ![]() While Venom: Let There Be Carnage now features two Oscar nominees slumming for a paycheck instead of one-even three when you recall Michelle Williams also stopped by the set for a few days-we’re nonetheless left with a rote pseudo-superhero movie with the passion of an algorithm. ![]() ![]() Yes, Venom 2 is better than the first Venom, but then so are trips to the dentist.
