\"\"Ah, Sony. It decides to capitalize on the success of\u00a0Spider-Man: Homecoming <\/strong>by jump starting its long in development\u00a0Venom\u00a0<\/strong>film. It shows it is serious by casting Oscar nominees Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams in the film. Then it completely destroys any good will the film had by putting out a muddled, confusing teaser trailer<\/a> that gave no idea what the film was about to the uninitiated and alienated the comic fans by not giving them the payoff they were expecting.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Sony has a second chance to make a first impression.<\/p>\n

The studio brought a new trailer to this week’s CinemaCon in Las Vegas, and it appears that they actually hired someone who knows how to cut a trailer work on it this time. It is far more coherent in showing tone and plot. And, yes, we get to see Venom in the trailer final frames.<\/p>\n

The trailer also shows that the supposed “leaked” plot<\/a> from back in March seems to be mostly wrong (To start, Hardy’s Eddie Brock is not an ex-con in the film, he’s a reporter like in the comics).<\/p>\n

Overall, this new trailer has moved my opinion of the film from “AVOID” to “CATIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC.” Check out the trailer and see if you feel the same way.<\/p>\n
