5. The Incoherent Final Battle

That final fight between Venom and Riot sure is a mess, huh? In a movie full of sequences that feel dragged kicking and screaming from an early-2000s superhero movie, the CGI-slathered mess of a climactic showdown is more frustrating than fun to watch.

It doesn't help at all that Venom and Riot's designs are similar enough that it's often tough to tell who's who and what's going on, with the creatures blending together into an eye-scorching pile of digital goop.

Even the explosive end to the fight feels like an unexciting anti-climax, with Venom effortlessly ripping a hole in the spaceship's hull, and the ensuing explosion killing both Drake and Riot. Yawn.
