Venom: The Last Dance

Venom: The Last Dance – A Fun but Flawed Farewell

Venom: The Last Dance marks the third and possibly final chapter in Sony’s symbiote saga, delivering the over-the-top action and humor fans have come to expect. While it doesn’t quite reach the heights of its predecessors, the film still provides an entertaining, if somewhat messy, conclusion to Eddie Brock and Venom’s story. With a mix of highs and lows, we’re giving this one a solid 7/10 at Comic Movie DB.

Tom Hardy once again shines as both Eddie and the voice of Venom, bringing his signature chaotic energy to their oddball dynamic. Their relationship remains the heart of the film, filled with hilarious banter and genuine moments of camaraderie. The film does an excellent job of exploring their bond further, making it more emotional than previous installments.

The action sequences are thrilling, with plenty of symbiote-fueled chaos that keeps the pace moving. Director Kelly Marcel amps up the spectacle, introducing new symbiote threats that push Eddie and Venom to their limits. However, the CGI remains inconsistent, with some sequences looking polished while others feel a bit rushed.

Story-wise, The Last Dance struggles with its pacing and an overstuffed plot. The introduction of new characters and subplots sometimes detracts from the main narrative, making the film feel unfocused at times. While the villain has an interesting setup, they ultimately don’t leave a lasting impact compared to past antagonists like Carnage.

Despite its flaws, Venom: The Last Dance delivers enough action, humor, and emotional beats to satisfy fans. It’s a fitting, if imperfect, sendoff to Hardy’s take on the character. Whether this truly is the last dance remains to be seen, but if it is, it’s been a wild and entertaining ride.
