A solid enough send off for this <em>'Venom'</em> trilogy.
<em>'Venom: The Last Dance'</em> is decently amusing and produces enough entertainment with its plot. I didn't personally find it overly funny, though the person a few seats across from me had an absolute blast - never a bad thing seeing people enjoy themselves!
Tom Hardy remains the key element of these films, they would be far less enjoyable without his presence. There's a nice montage of sorts towards the end, it admittedly didn't 'hit' all that much for me but I imagine it's effective for proper fans of the series. Rhys Ifans…

The other two at the very least were enjoyable. This one, not so much.
The villian is forced, the movie feels so chopped up, there's no threat because the creatures and Eddie both just heal each other. It had bad dialogue for some scenes, and a weird sub plot about shoes.
Oh, and also, one of Eddie's flashbacks he wasn't even there for.

Perhaps this was just one sequel too many as the story here is really rather thin, but there's still enough chemistry between "Eddie" (Tom Hardy) and his eponymous symbion to raise a smile or two. This time it's not just the pursuing human population that's a problem for them, but there are creatures from the homeworld of "Venom" homing in on their unique "codex" so that they can help free their leader from incarceration to wreak havoc on the universe. Along the way, they encounter the hippie "Martin" (Rhys Ifans) and his family and cadge a lift in their VW camper-van whilst offering a fairly …

Venom: The Last Dance expands on the chaotic relationship between Eddie Brock and his symbiote Venom with more depth, tension, and humor, while also introducing a menacing new adversary in the form of the Xenophages. But yet, this cartonish way ended while making its last dance, really it was kind of last DANCE even writer pen director direction couldn't go with it and make its end like Bollywood was pretty mid honestly ____ we didn’t see venom much for a movie that ends a highly loved trilogy. also I didn’t see the “MAIN BIG BAD GUY of DARKNESS ANNIHILATION EVERYTHING” do anything. THAT GUY a…

I like all the Venom movies. The humour works. Fun to watch Hardy play a puppet.
Would have been a 10 without that blast door thing. Still a blast. No deductions for runtime.

I'm typically not a fan of the Marvel universe films. I find them over stated, not especially intelligent and oftentimes, quite repetitive.
"Venom" is the rare exception to this rule. For starters there's Tom Hardy, who is, by any measure, an excellent actor. Secondly, there's the interplay between Hardy and Venom which can be genuinely funny.
This latest and possibly last film in the series, "Venom: The Last Dance", is, I believe, the weakest in the line up. Unlike its predecessors, it feels a little bit rushed and somehow, anti climatic. That said, it still has its moments of engagin…

Okay, here’s the deal with _Venom: The Last Dance_. It’s like ordering your favorite burger and realizing halfway through they forgot the sauce. Tom Hardy? Still killing it as Eddie and Venom—his back-and-forth with himself is weirdly entertaining and even a little emotional. There are some genuinely fun and heartfelt moments that remind you why this duo worked in the first place.
But man, the rest? A hot mess. The plot is all over the map, the new characters are forgettable, and the villain? Weak sauce. It feels like the filmmakers just kind of shrugged and said, “Eh, good enough.” Sure, t…

64/100
Venom carries a codex, with the potential to destroy the universe, and is being hunted by really big, gnarly, aliens. I was really digging this film - the banter between Eddie and Venom was great, exciting action sets, interesting characters and a pretty good story - until after the river scene. Then the film stalled big time. The protracted VW trip was cringingly awkward and the dance bit in Vegas was silly and weird. The climax, although providing us with a whole bucket full of eye candy and exciting alien combat, didn't really wow me as much as expected. *sigh* -- DrNostromo.com
