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 and Chiwetel Ejiofor stick out most from the other characters.

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 tuneless rendition of some David Bowie. It all builds up to a fairly predictable denouement with humanity facing some tough choices, the seemingly indestructible aliens on the verge of success and our intrepid partnership having to consider the ultimate sacrifice. Yep, we've seen it all before and though the visual effects are pretty impressive, that's not really enough to sustain it as it rather procedurally rolls along. There is occasionally some wit in the script and Hardy looks like he's having fun, but Chiwetel Ejiofor is largely under-used and it relies far too heavily on repetitive combat scenes to really make it stand out amidst the surfeit of 2024 comic-book derivatives. It's all watchable enough, but it's not a patch on the first one from 2018.

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 and CODEX concept couldn't go through to see but no MORE BLACK symbiote...
