Venom: Let There Be Carnage Review - 5 Ups & 5 Downs

2. It's Got One Of The Best F-Bombs In Any PG-13 Movie

The MPAA generally allows PG-13 movies to include a single "F-bomb," forcing writers and directors to think long and hard about how they want that one permitted use to play out.

And that screenwriter Kelly Marcel clearly did when penning Let There Be Carnage, as the film's one-off use of the word is one of the most hilarious and unexpected in any recent PG-13 movie, if not ever.

No spoilers here of course, but its use is absolutely in step with the film's go-for-broke, anarchic spirit, and arrives as perfect punctuation for one of its biggest third act moments.

As silly as it is that filmmakers are constrained in such fashion, in the very least this film uses its one and only "f**k" incredibly shrewdly.
