I am trying to think of another actor who could have done this film justice and I'm struggling. Hardy is without doubt one of the best character actors of this generation and I seriously doubt that I would have enjoyed this film as much with someone else in the role (btw thought he was miscast as Bane). As to the film itself I really enjoyed it apart from two issues. Firstly the motorbike chase was great but ruined by the attack drones. I know they're in vogue and newsworthy right now but they were ott and spoiled it for me. Secondly, not enough verbal interaction between Eddie and Venom, what there was was great and I wanted more especially when Hardy is so good at delivering the split personality deal. Support cast was good, female lead hot so all in all a film I enjoyed and looking forward to rewatching and hopeful sequel. Never read the comic iteration but suspect a good job was done. Nice to see that Batman is not the only badass antihero about (C.Bales version not A.Wests lol)
