Is Venom 2 as good as Venom 1?

I'm curious to know, does Venom 2 live up to the excitement and intrigue of its predecessor, Venom 1? Did the sequel manage to captivate audiences with its storytelling, character development, and overall action sequences? Or did it fall short in comparison, leaving fans feeling disappointed? It's always a challenge for filmmakers to create a worthy follow-up, so I'm eager to hear what you think.
