Venom really is just more superhero nonsense, but there is a little twist that helps to set it apart from most Marvel/DC films. Not enough to make it a good franchise, but at least it doesn't feel like a film that's been rechewed for the past two decades. This sequel is even slightly better than the first one.
The comedy is a bit awkward and Harrelson is a mediocre bad guy, but the film is short, well-paced and quite chaotic (in a good way). It's nice to see a film like this commit to a more outspoken and well-defined style, rather than try to be everything at once. It's still not great, but definitely more amusing than most others in the genre.
