It's starting to look like it might actually be somewhat okay, which is much better than I originally expected.

Without even seeing it I can see Riot is a really bad choice for a villainous symbiote. They easily could've made it any of the other Life Foundation symbiotes which all have more stand-out colors.

I'm in this boat.

Just hard to see past a Venom without Spidey tied to his origin at all.

Plus the recent reports that 40 minutes were cut and the interviews with Tom Hardy saying those were his favorite parts of the film don't give me much hope.

I think it will be not without merit, with a lot of praise for the cast and the film trying to do something different with a superhero film, but the response will be fairly poor. ~35-50% on Rotten Tomatoes, 45-50 on Metacritic.

Jumanji was a massive success. Spider-Man Homecoming was still produced by them. Into the Spider-Verse looks great. They are having their best year in at least four financially, and have turned it around.

I actually totally forgot about Jumanji. They really lucked into that, because every other thing has been horrible. And Homecoming absolutely doesn't count. Spider-Verse will probably be good at least.

But at the very least, Sont movies have had a horrible track record for the most part in recent years.

Oh Sony's films are no worse than any other studio's honestly, their films review like any other big studio's at least. 2015-2016 was bad for them but otherwise, eh, they're a studio. Also I wasn't even including films like Baby Driver. And they still actually made Homecoming! It's a Sony Picture. If anything they deserve more praise for making a deal like that, it was a strong business move.

Venom is going to suck but it's not because of Sony!

I was talking franchises though, not really individual movies. Like Jumanji is going to be a franchise that's good for them. But they spent loads of money on stuff like Emoji and Slender Man and didn't get much back for it because of how wretched those movies have been. We're most likely not getting a milkable Baby Driver franchise.

But they really want a Venom franchise. And Sony has sucked at trying to make an actual franchise outside of Jumanji.

Yeah. It was. In the 90's.

It isn't a living, breathing franchise they were making any money off of before they brought it back 20 years later.

I would also like to add that the actual review embargo doesn't lift until a few hours from now, and the film releases in some territories a few hours later. It is also being screened for some critics about six hours before release...

Not a good sign! Still, better than Fant4stic, which was not pre-screened at all.

Too close to call, this is a tough one. But I will see it, so I'm leaning towards it being good or at least an entertaining flawed quirky film. But it could go the other way too, it's a risky game here, but I'm rolling the dice.

Marvel movie fans trying to be DC movie fans.

"marvel movie fans" refers to too many conflicting people in this case divided by if they're MCU fans or not

one of her biggest hits (about as big as Bad Romance) was Born This Way in 2011. Applause, The Edge of Glory, and she got nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song like 2 years ago (not even a Gaga fan but she should've won it too)

i have heard the album she did with tony bennett but that's just because i'm a massive jazz fan and it was a pretty huge album in that genre.
