This was my biggest problem with Venom as whole and why a stand alone film really doesn't work. Venom is already a villain, so they have to turn him into an "anti-hero/villain" and they just use another Spiderman villain for the film, but he's just another example of a mirror villain, literally, with the same powers and essentially the "same" suit. The MCU has the same problem sometimes and I'm willing to admit to that, but they are getting better about it. But on a whole, I didn't mind Venom. It's not the worse film ever. Some dodgy CGI, but overall, really the first half of watching Eddie Brock and Venom kinda bonding, was fun to watch, but I just thought the villain was the let down of the film. Probably a solid 5 maybe 6 out of 10.

Yeah, Riot was garbage. And then another symbiote in the sequel with Carnage? Venom should take on other Spidey bad guys. Enough of these symbiotes, even if it is Carnage (Carnage should have been the villain in THIS film).

There was no humanity in the final fight. Just a lazy CGI smash-a-thon and not helped by the dark lighting and the mirror villain as you point out.
Needed a scene like this where Eddie tries to reach out to Carlton Drake, even though he hates him, to not listen to the symbiote as its trying to trick him when it really wants to destroy the earth

In retrospect, someone like Alastair Smythe could have been more interesting. Say Venom goes on a rampage and the Spider Slayers are created to hunt him down.

I kept wondering why the ending?
We know Riot is going up in the rocket.
Why not just blow it up on the launch pad?
No muss.
No fuss.
