Every Single Spider-Man Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

8. Venom (2018)

Look, yes, Spider-Man is not in Venom and nor is there any mention of him (other than the post-credits stinger that featured footage from Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse) but this is still a Spider-Verse movie. Eddie Brock still talks about the Daily Globe and Carnage is hinted at and it WILL come to somehow be linked more closely to Spidey in sequels.

Sadly, it's a bit of a mess. Tom Hardy is great and the interactions between his Eddie Brock and Venom are brilliant and very funny, but the rest is dull and feels outdated and he action in particular leaves a lot to be desired. Supporting characters and villains aren't well-drawn either, but at least the effects are great and there's huge potential for a better-focused sequel to do well. Let's hope it gets enough financial response to make that happen.

Soon, lists like this will be populated with even more spin-offs as Sony plan to expand their Spider-Verse massively (starting with Morbius). Let's hope they do it all a little better than they have with Venom.
