Venom - Not bad, not great, very predicable

Superhero fantasy action adventure with horror from Marvel. The earth is dying, the human race on the brink of extinction. The villain runs a technology company, brings slimy aliens back from a space expedition, he wants aliens to inhabit humans, escape the earth and build a new world somewhere else.

Tom hardy plays the sarcastic anti-hero with some humour, but not enough.
There's the standard love interest, but I'm bored with this stock character.
There's some exciting CGI action sequences, but a bit dull before Venom properly appears.

I found it hard to relate to anything. Tom Hardy never appears to be in jeopardy.
There's a standard post credit scene that introduces a possible sequel.
