==Reception==
Barry Hertz, writing for The Globe and Mail, wrote that the film was "Ugly, cheap and dumb-but-not-good-dumb, the film is a throwaway kind of trashy nothingness." Hertz felt that the CGI was lacking, especially when compared to Serkis' other films, but praised Hardy's performance, saying "Hardy’s use-it-or-lose-it charm very nearly drowns out the dreadfulness all around him, but ultimately it’s not enough to sustain life. And given that the actor has a “story by” credit here, he deserves more blame than praise."God-awful Venom: Let There Be Carnage asks: Why can’t all superhero movies just be post-credit scenes? - Barry Hertz - 30 September 2021 - The Globe and Mail - Retrieved 2 October 2021
Joe Vargas of Angry Movie Review declared, "It is quirky, cringey, badass at times," and complimented Hardy's performance. Both Vargas and cohost Joe Lopez felt the film leaned too hard into the comedy. Alex Tune felt that everything pertaining to the character of Carnage in the film was poorly handled, saying "It was rushed, it was stupid, it was trite." Tune and Vargas disagreed on whether Harrelson had given a good performance.Venom: Let There Be Carnage - Angry Movie Review - AngryJoeShow - 1 October 2021 - YouTube - Retrieved 2 October 2021
Brad Jones commented "If you're really nostalgic for the kind of comic book movie you would have gotten in the late 90s or early 2000s, this is it," and awarded the film a C, calling the film a mess and stating the plot deserved better.Venom: Let There Be Carnage - Movie Review - Stoned Gremlin Productions - 30 September 2021 - YouTube - Retrieved 2 October 2021
Doug Walker enjoyed Harris' and Harrelson's performances, and felt the film was a return to the tropes of an early 2000s film. Walker compared the jokes in the film to those of "Sonic the Hedgehog", stating that talented actors were doing the best they could with the material they had. Walker also felt that the dialogue in the film felt mostly like placeholders where jokes would have been placed in later script revisions. Walker's greatest frustration was the realisation that "Maximum Carnage" wasn't going to be adapted and likely could no longer be adapted.Venom: Let There Be Carnage - Doug Reviews - Channel Awesome - 30 September 2021 - YouTube - Retrieved 4 October 2021
