Hmmm. It's nice to get to see the symbiote finally, but it's just not working for me for some reason. It's not really the lack of any apparent Spidey connection or anything like that, but something in the trailer just didn't click for me.
While I do love the design of Venom, I am in agreement with others with regards to the movie's missing connection to Spiderman. And I'm not confident in the writers at Sony. They will have to really work hard to earn a ticket purchase. And I'm not sure why but the trailer kind of reminds me of an upcoming movie about another Tom Hardy-ish looking guy sharing his body with an entity that only he can hear and that can take over control in dangerous situations
