If you are a fan of Venom you know there has been an ongoing debate about whether Venom is a hero, a villain or something in between. When this movie came out into the theater I was so excited to see how the movie would bring together Venom and Eddie Brock.

If you don’t know much about Venom, it is the story of Eddie Brock, a good reporter who tries to do the right thing but does not always do them in ways that you or I would. In this movie he investigates someone that has a ton of power & influence and when he challenges him he loses everything. After some time he connects with a scientist that does not agree with the experiments that this person is doing and brings Brock in to expose it. In working to expose this he inadvertently becomes host to Venom.
As the movie continues the symbiotic relationship between Brock and Venom grows and you truly get to see each coming to need each other. The conflict in this movie is two-fold, first there is internal conflict between Venom and Eddie as they figure out the symbiotic relationship, but more than this is with the other symbiote “Riot.” As Riot comes on the scene you find out the real reason that the symbiotes are on Earth and this causes a life and death battle between both symbiotes and their hosts.
Venom’s lack of scruples pegs him as something of an anti-hero. In this movie you can see that Venom does grow and learn from Eddie. The story of the movie is easy to follow for audiences and because of the characters in the movie, most that I have spoken with have said that they like the characters and the writers allow the message to simply happen and it is not forced on the audience. The other reason that you have to love the relationship between Eddie and Venom is that they form a great team and both play off each other to become a great team!
While the movie may not be the same as the comic, I am ok with that as it was a lot of fun, with great action and characters! Is Venom a hero or not is up to each person to decide, but for me, Eddie Brock brings humanity into Venom and while Venom does not always solve things that many would want, he does get things done!
