Venom Review: Tom Hardy's Superhero Movie is a Weirdly Fun Monster. Venom is certainly a flawed superhero movie, but Tom Hardy's performances as Eddie Brock and Venom make for a fun. Ruben Fleischer's Venom is a train wreck of a movie, mixing and matching wildly dissonant tones, bizarre plot contrivances, and a truly unique lead performance.
