Anne and Dan then take Eddie for an MRI scan, but the resonance quickly causes the symbiote to be harmed and break away from Eddie. Cue some embarrassingly low-rent visual effects which, honestly, any teenager with a copy of Maya could probably throw together on a lazy Friday afternoon.

The digital model of Venom blends horribly with Hardy's own face, generating a bargain basement-calibre effect that's thankfully not lingered on for long, though does re-appear later when Eddie is fully separated from Venom.

Is this really the best they could do with a $100 million budget? Yikes.
