lakeeffectgirlVenom: Let There Be Carnage - sometimes you just need a dumb movie about a failboat man and the alien who loves him, and there, LTBC delivers. There is a mid-credits scene but not an after-credits scene. I read spoilers last week since after the debacle of the last Bourne movie, I read spoilers for any movie where I know I'll be pissed if a) main characters die b/c no one wants to figure out some other way to end their character arc, or b) bad things happen to women in order to motivate men. (This is why it took me three years to watch the last two Avengers movies.) Thankfully, LTBC was Lake-safe! And personally, I found the mid-credits scene to be delightful but I think it may be divide certain groups of fans.
Certain other movies arriving in the near future do not seem to be Lake-safe and I might hold off on seeing them in the cinema. (My incredibly petty reasons for not liking movies where main characters die in the end are mostly: WHAT ABOUT MY FANFICTIONS? Yes, even though fix-it is a thing. Plus if I am mad enough, I won't want to watch the movie again enough to write a fix-it, still looking at you here Jason Bourne. I do have a partial plot dreamed up to fix all the things I was mad about in the last two Avengers movies but I'm not sure I'll have the dedication to write the 200k it would have to be.)
Anyway, LTBC's weak point was basically wasting Naomie Harris in their attempt to really keep things moving at a fast pace - I hope she has more to do in No Time To Die. LTBC is only like 90 minutes long so any character development is really quick wham-bam, but I liked the device used to give Cletus a little backstory.
