I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Sony’s Spider-Man-less Spider-Man universe has been something of a running joke in the comic book movie scene given that it’s entirely about Spider-Man villains with no actual Spider-Man. Well, that’s not true, Madame Web had Peter Parker as a few-hours-old infant. But generally, no.and cements the fact that all the movies in Sony’s universe have put up Rotten review averages. However, the Venom trilogy is profitable and well-liked as goofy fun for comic fans, even if critics don’t like it.
Where things go from here feels pretty messy. Tom Hardy has unequivocally said he’s done playing Venom, but Sony says it will be leaning hard into more symbiote content, mainly focused on Knull, it seems, introduced in Venom: The Last Dance and played by Andy Serkis. There have also of course been rumors since the first Venom movie that the universe would crash into the MCU eventually, and while that was indeed teased at one point, nothing has come of it.
Does Sony…care about how bad these movies review compared to the MCU? Most of the time, probably not. The Venom movies, however they review, have made a lot of money. I’m sure they don’t want more Madame Web-style bombs, but I don’t think you can consider all these movies total failures based on review scores. But what happens next with no more Venom? I can’t say I have a ton of faith in whatever that will be.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
