A movie that discusses the dark voices inside one's head is not only rare, but also endearing when it's pulled off right like the movie Upgrade, or this new released Venom.
What made the movie great not only lay with its dark comedy, but with its genuine characters. What I see are friends and villains being nasty to Eddie Brock (played by Tom Hardy) which blurs the lines of who is good or truly selfish. The critics and much of the inferior likes of them say that everyone is stale and one dimensional because more screen time was given to Venom. But that's the point, the story revolves around our anti hero and not anyone else, whom played very well in their roles. For example, the villain was a scientist with a God complex, and what him a person was his beliefs into making society better with science, which is an understanding ideal if not simple because we all want things to get better. Or his girlfriend, whom everyone says is trash and stagmatic, but that was the point to her character, she IS trash because she dumped Eddie and went with a doctor six months during their breakup. She IS stagmatic because her character is the type who does not share her feelings (like a LOT of freaking girls and guys I know alike).
Another reason why I think it's good is because of what the story takes from an unoriginal plot line. I won't spoil anything, however I will say that the plot is your stereotypical patient vs the mad scientist, the story is different though. It's about what we do to suppress the demons we deal with inside, while also trying to be good. And that's a genuine thing people go through, for we all go through our inner struggles and try to be the best we can be (if not then they're complete dirt bags). It takes a moral ground foundation, which Hollywood and several of their paid reviewers hate because they don't want to differentiate what's right and wrong (which is stupid considering the fact we have laws that deal with murderers and pedophiles).
In conclusion, this movie is both underrated and cool, taking unoriginal concepts and turning it into their own charm. Which is probably why it's getting more money in the box office is because we love it. Screw the critics, they obviously can't tell what a good movie is anymore because they're so focused on politically charged films to be on screen so that the propaganda that they invest in more money on trash films like that instead of genuine stories (which is another thing I loved about this movie). This movie is comedic, dark, light, and doesn't take itself too seriously, much like its character Eddie, or as the symbiote we all love, Venom.
