I have actually heard mixed reviews.
Those who went strictly for pure entertainment value were entertained. However, those who know the comic book story and were wanting the movie to mirror that were VERY disappointed.
I, personally, have never read the comic so I can't comment on how much the movie strayed (especially with the character of Venom, I gather)
For me, the TRUE test is how a movie does in the following weeks. The first weekend, people go for the hype. After that, people go or don't go based upon what others thought. So, to me, those are the true numbers to show how good a movie is. |
