9 Movies So Annoying They Lose You In The First 60 Seconds

While likely living long in the memory for most due to the multiversal events that transpire after the actual flick itself has wrapped up, Sony very nearly didn't have an audience to play out those final MCU Spider-Man teasing moments to thanks to the frankly absurd dubbing decision made by the studio and Andy Serkis early in the Let There Be Carnage day.

In a bid to hammer home the fact that the symbiote-loving crowd were witnessing the younger versions of Cletus Kasady and Frances Barrison, the director of this second Venom showing chose to have the adult versions of the eventual Carnage and Shriek actors, Woody Harrelson and Naomie Harris, respectively, voice their younger counterparts in a prologue of sorts.

What follows is the sort of surreal opening 60 seconds that pretty much sets the tone for the often cringey and jarring turd in the wind that follows, with Harrelson and Harris' very much mature vocal quality robbing the sequence involving the young lovers being tragically separated of any real emotional weight or impact due to the all-round silliness of the effect.

That being said, if you were expecting any genuine emotional weight and impact heading into the follow-up to 2018's Venom, well, then more fool you, I suppose...
