The first twitter reactions for “Venom” have hit the web and the consensus is that it’s action packed, filled with awesome fight sequences, and Tom Hardy as Venom/Eddie Brock is the best part of the movie. On the other hand, everyone is saying the script was written poorly, the tone constantly shifts, and the plot is incoherent.
Check out a few of the reactions below and let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Like a turd.

In the wind.#Venom
Sorry to say that #Venom is pretty much a complete failure - a tonal mess that feels 15 years old, ignoring the storytelling strides that the superhero genre has made in recent years.

A few fun Venom-centric moments aside, it has nearly nothing to offer. Don't get your hopes up.
Significant chunks of #Venom don’t work *at all* but there is some serious charm to the Eddie/Venom relationship. Not sure I had the intended reactions to some scenes but fun is fun - even when it’s totally ridiculous, right? It’s too bad they didn’t go for the R rating though.

Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock and #Venom has some really entertaining moments. A clunky script without nuance bogs the #Venom down, preventing it from choosing between being gritty, funny, or something unique.

#Venom wasn’t as bad as everyone was saying it was going to be. Tom Hardy is and always will be a great actor, and I laughed a lot — but I’m not sure whether that was intentional or not. Post-credit scene is 🔥

I enjoyed #Venom. It reminds me of a '90s Nicolas Cage movie in the sense that it's an Oscar-caliber actor going all-in on outlandish premise and the end result a highly watchable curiosity

#Venom is Catwoman level bad, with Tom Hardy's worst performance since This Means War.

DON'T SEE THE MOVIE!
#Venom was surprisingly funny! I had a freaking great time watching it. Despite some problems, it did right by its main character, Eddie Brock/Venom. People forget that he's always had a weird sense of humor in the comics, and that humor is fully on display in the movie! pic.twitter.com/20ufNrbGU4

I’m *fascinated* with VENOM. The cast seems to all know they’re in a darker superhero movie, except Tom Hardy who is basically remaking Jim Carrey’s Liar Liar. I kinda loved watching this movie, in a Rocky Horror type of way. At one point Tom Hardy and Venom make out.

Social embargo for #Venom is up. I talk about this a lot in my review but this is a movie that somehow slipped through a wormhole from 2004. That's my biggest take. It's a movie that spilled from the pre-MCU era through a crack in time and space.
