I enjoyed this one - yes, it's Tom Hardy being self-indulgent as hell but in a way that doesn't appear to involve actively abusing the director or his fellow cast members, and it's structured weird in that you feel like you're into the grand finale before you've really had a chance to have a movie yet, but it's the kinda film it'd be fun to make fun of on the couch during it. Yes, there is no sensible reason for Michelle Williams to be in this beyond money (same goes for Stephen Graham except that Stephen Graham probably put the money for this into "Boiling point"), and Woody Harrelson is making a doomed attempt to go bigger than Tom Hardy in a film that Tom Hardy co-wrote, and the plot is barely more than "here's one, here's another, let's bash them together a lot", the action scenes are pretty much just random pixels flying at one another, but it's pretty fleet of foot, it winds down Eddie Brock's douchebag side a lot (he just still rides a motorcycle annoyingly, popping wheelies every three seconds), and it is the somewhat disreputable sleazy cousin to the MCU's goody-goody-two-shoes.
