When I watch movies with my husband, I have to be a bit more discerning. He prefers movies in color, and there are just certain types of movies we watch together. Neither of us had seen a Venom movie, so we wanted to see if we would like them.
It was clear pretty early on that we weren't on the first movie, but it wasn't that big of a deal. We were able to follow the story without feeling lost.
The movie starts with a backstory of the serial killer Cletus and his girlfriend Frances. Fast forward to present day, and the serial killer asks Eddie to publish something for him. That leads to him (actually Venom) solving the mystery of where Cletus buried the bodies of his victims, so now the killer is scheduled to be executed.
Cletus asks Eddie to visit him, where he spouts nonsense and triggers Venom into attacking him. Cletus bites Eddie and becomes Carnage. Fighting ensues, bickering between protagonists, Cletus still has terrible hair, and they free Frances from the secret place they learned about from the internet. Her shrieking is incompatible with Carnage, and it will cause problems.
The main issue I had with the movie was the humor. Different people will be amused by different kinds of humor. This isn't my kind of humor. I know most of my family isn't on par with a lot of my humor, either, so it evens out. The storyline was weird to me, and I just wasn't a fan.
And you can't just leave chickens in a little patch of grass...
