On Monday night the social media embargo lifted for the Tom Hardy Venom movie, and it’s mostly what you’d expect.
Reviews are not great, though critics definitely tried to find nice things to say.

Our fave faint praise is “funny, intentional or not” and “not a complete disaster?” LOLz.
BUT some folks couldn’t help but notice quite a few of the Twitter “opinions” looked familiar…
But this apparent trolling campaign isn’t just to badmouth Venom.
Note that quite a few of the copy/paste reviews are also praising A Star Is Born…
Well, Buzzfeed reached out to some of the supposed bots and found they were real people. And ONE was a Lady GaGa fan who confessed some Little Monsters had coordinated!
“It’s us Gaga fans creating fake IDs to trash the Venom premiere. They both are getting released on the same day, so we want more audience for A Star Is Born.”
OK, that also sounds fake. LOLz!
But the person pointed out some less obvious ones, pretending to be midwestern moms!
Hilariously, once the plot (?) was uncovered, some Venom fans (is that a thing?) began retaliating:
Little Monsters vs alien symbiote.
This is literally the strangest Twitter beef we’ve ever seen.
Whose side are YOU on, we guess??
