Venom 2: 10 Mistakes Sony Must Avoid This Time

10. The Age Rating

When the movie's audience rating was announced, concern was palpable. In the US, it's a PG-13 and in the UK, it has a 15 certificate. A more mature rating doesn't necessarily make a movie better, but given the character's aesthetics and, uh, horrifically violent nature, a proper reflection of those would go a long way.

Yes, changes are made all the time in movie adaptations of comic book properties, but would you deny John Constantine a cigarette? Or Iron Man his trademark snark? No!

It's not as if Venom fans are all rabid, violence-hungry monsters. We're just kids at heart. Kids with a simple dream of seeing Venom bite someone's head off on a giant cinema screen.
