Viewing Notes

Venom Mob!! Features the BEST five Venoms?!! GTFO

Another excellent Venoms flick with a good balance of each. Fun story too with these acrobats that also become master thieves then seek revenge for a fallen friend.

My only nitpick is that I wish they all didn’t wear the exact same acrobat costume. During the final battle sequence, which is balls out amazing, it’s often hard to distinguish who is who as they perform all the stunts.

Definitely a movie that I want to own so I can view uninterrupted. But big thanks to El Rey for programming it.
