We saw the movie, and were quite surprised:
VENOM tells the evolution story of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and badass character Venom! Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is a broken man after he loses everything including his job and fiancée. Just when his life is at its lowest, he becomes host to an alien symbiote which results in extraordinary superpowers – transforming him into Venom. Will these powers be enough for this new lethal protector to defeat great evil forces, especially against the far stronger and more weaponized symbiote rival, Riot?
Tom Hardy is brilliant as VENOM. Absolutely terrific. He has the perfect personality for this role, and also the necessary acting skills to portray what appears to be a schizophrenic. Appears to be, because there is actually another voice in his head and it is real. Tom played two characters on one body perfectly, it was incredible to watch, and highly entertaining. He really rose to the occasion and is perfect for this role!
And VENOM is a wise cracking anti-superhero. He might bite off a criminal’s head for a snack, as quick as saving a city. This voice in Tom Hardy’s head is hilarious. Some of the one liners are hysterical. We watched all the credits and they were spot on with their description of VENOM, he was Deadpool before Deadpool.
And when Michelle Williams turns into SHE-VENOM, the room exploded! This was an awesome scene, ending in one powerful kiss! (Sorry, spoiler!)

Hey everyone! Founded in 1979 by aviation enthusiasts like Randy Acord, The Pioneer Air Museum https://pioneerairmuseum.org/ was established to preserve Alaska’s aviation heritage. As important artifacts like floats and logbooks began to disappear, the need for a dedicated museum became evident. Located in Pioneer Park, it showcases the challenges and innovations of early Alaskan aviators, offering visitors a glimpse into the state’s rich aviation history.
