JAKARTA - After previously experiencing a number of delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sequel to "Venom" (2018), Venom: Let There Be Carnage, has finally been released on Indonesian cinema networks starting Wednesday, November 17.
The second Venom film takes place right after the end of the first film -- or rather the first "Venom" mid-credit scene, where fans are shown the figure of Cletus Kasady or Carnage (Woody Harrelson) who has connections with Eddie Brock or Venom (Tom Hardy). . The two were first introduced to meet at a high-level prison in California, namely San Quentin.
Kasady is a serial killer who refuses to speak to anyone other than Brock, who is a journalist, after their interview the year before.
Before being brought to that period, the audience will be invited to peek into the past of the antagonist first. In 1996, young Kasady witnessed Frances Barrison (Naomie Harris), his lover, being taken away from St. Estes to the Ravencroft Institute.
Barrison alias Shriek is a special child. He has the power of an ultrasonic scream, which he eventually uses to escape and attack young police officer Patrick Mulligan (Stephen Graham).
By this time, Mulligan had become a detective. He teams up with Brock to talk to Kasady.
Kasady, who was found guilty of his crimes and he was sentenced to death by lethal injection. He invites Brock, who is finally provoked and Kasady swallows a small part of Brock's symbiote.
Quoted from ANTARA, Kasady's execution failed when a red symbiote appeared and blocked his lethal injection. He then introduces himself as Carnage and goes on a ruthless rampage in prison.
On the other hand, Venom wants more freedom to kill the bad guys. The two then end up fighting until the symbiote detaches from its body, and they take different paths.
And, from here, the fierce battle between the two symbiotes begins, in the midst of the Brock and Venom conflict that is also raging.
Just like the previous film, "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" is also wrapped with an action-packed cinematic approach but also with intriguing dialogues. Many jokes that often make the whole cinema studio echo with laughter.
In addition, the closeness between Brock and Venom can be said to start to become more complex and colorful with the arrival of the sequel. Their relationship which had been strained and then tried to reunite to save their world, added a new perception for these two characters, who labeled themselves as "heroes". ".
The dynamics of the main play with the parasitic "mutualism symbiosis" in his body is very entertaining even though the tone of this film is so dark. And, it can be seen that Tom Hardy really likes the character he plays -- he seems so sincere and enjoys every scene and story that goes on.
There are a number of changes when you compare it to the original comic. These things can be found from the background of the development of a number of new characters introduced such as Carnage and Shriek. Apart from that, like films adapted from comics, this Venom sequel has some easter eggs and references that are very fun to look for, to find. , and then discussed with fellow fans after the film was over.
