As you can see from this very article Hollywood the reaction was largely mixed that does not mean positive.
I go straight to the forum, not the front page news article. Comments are accessible from both.
QuoteSome liked it , some didn't. It's as simple as that. And considering this trailer is trying to sell the film that's not a good sign in my book.
Makes sense 👌
QuoteAlso you keep highlighting the meg, the meg isn't on the same league as predator , predator is super famous world wide.
I'm not comparing the franchise popularity themselves, just the marketing timing. Still, what percentage of the world has no interest in giant killer shark movies, you think?
QuoteShane black billed this as an event film, yet it doesn't fill me with any excitement, and considering this is my all time favourite character, that's really not good.
Hopefully that changes when you see Deadpool 2.
QuoteEven predators had me excited, also you mentioned the meg trailer, yet venom is out a month later than the predator, and has already received two trailers.
Venom has more opportunities to corral its audience and showcase to them - first trailer was rushed out with Black Panther (Marvel audience) and was weak. Second trailer was leaked and not a part of the marketing strategy. Now they have to come up with a 3rd trailer with so much time between the 2nd trailer and the film. There's a risk audiences will forget the movie exists by release date or they realize the last shot of the trailer is the best part of the movie when putting 3 trailers together. Based on trailer footage, Venom is shaping up to be the next Fant4stic and that's not good. I hope they polish up the cgi and bad dialogue and also hope the majority of the film is not just Tom Hardy running around with black tentacles coming thru his clothes.
QuoteThey are holding back because they are afraid of the backlash , better to hold of from the marketing , save some cash and release the film and hope for the best. And that's exactly what they are doing.
Or, like Shane tweeted, they're finishing the FX work and the delayed release resulted in holding off on marketing. If they were afraid they won't release it with DP2, where many many eyes will see it. We shall see how that unfolds.

Quote from this very article " The reaction on Twitter has been decisively mixed. "
Again, I click straight to the forum and browsed thru Twitter myself. Still think the majority is positive while other reactions are hardly berating the trailer. Same can be said about a lot of big movies' trailers this year. Overall, I'm still not worried based on the reactions, if anything I'm glad words like "bloody" and "badass" are being thrown around to describe it on Twitter.
