Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

Summary of 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage'
"Venom: Let There Be Carnage" is a 2021 superhero movie, and the sequel to "Venom" (2018). Directed by Andy Serkis, it continues the narrative of Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), who is struggling to cohabit his body with his lethal symbiotic alter-ego, Venom. The follow up presents the infamous Carnage, a brand-new, tremendously effective symbiotic character.

The Narrative Begins
The film opens with a flashback from 1996 where Cletus Kasady (Woody Harrelson) is by force separated from his love-interest Frances Barrison (Naomie Harris). Quick forward to present day, Cletus is on death row for multiple homicides and uncannily chooses Eddie to report his life story. During a jail go to, Cletus bites Eddie, getting a taste of a symbiote-infused blood that causes the increase of Carnage.

The Emergence of Carnage
Carnage starts wreaking havoc as soon as it is in control of Cletus. Its prime intents include enacting vengeance on Detective Mulligan (Stephen Graham), who Cletus abhors for his role in separating him from Frances and, later on, saving her from the institution where she's held. Frances Barrison, also known as "Shriek" due to her damaging ultrasonic scream, is another intricate character whose capabilities posture a difficulty to Venom.

Eddie Brock and Venom's Relationship
While the hazard of Carnage looms, the movie also checks out the disorderly relationship in between Eddie and Venom. The squabbling duo experience a variety of concerns affecting their collaboration, from domestic differences to relationship stress when their coexistence is threatened by Venom's desire to take in humans. The symbiote eventually leaves Eddie and attempts to exist without him, though their separation proves to be short-lived. Provided the hazard that Carnage and Shriek pose, Venom and Eddie have to reunite, their complex mutual reliance forming the core of the movie's narrative.

The Climactic Battle
The climax of the story is a grand fight at the cathedral. Carnage, who prepares to wed Shriek, has actually welcomed Eddie as a 'important invitee'. Eddie, now once again housing Venom, gets to the area for an action-packed confrontation. A turning point in the fight occurs when Shriek's high-pitched scream weakens both Venom and Carnage. Venom exploits this to his advantage, causing a damage to the cathedral bell that reduces the effects of both Shriek and Carnage's powers in a considerable blow.

The Conclusion and a Twist
Venom then devours Carnage, demolishing the alien symbiote from Cletus's body after beating it. Eddie and Venom leave the scene undetected, while Detective Mulligan, who endured an attack from Shriek, displays a glowing-blue eye hinting an intro of another set of powers, possibly setting groundwork for a future follow up.

The film concludes on a cliff-hanger during an end-credits scene where Eddie and Venom are inexplicably carried to a different universe, seeing a report featuring Spider-Man's unmasking by J. Jonah Jameson, hinting the interlinking strands of the huge Marvel Universe.

In general, 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' is an exhilarating sequel showcasing an engaging narrative with the introduction of new characters, while deepening the complexity of the relationship between Eddie Brock and the interesting, pressing Venom.
