“Venom: The Last Dance” aims to close the trilogy with an epic finale, but the execution falls short, making it a mixed bag for fans. The film continues the chaotic and comedic dynamic between Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and Venom, leaning heavily into their “buddy road trip” formula. While this setup provides some entertaining moments, it feels overplayed by the third installment, losing its novelty. The movie does try to raise the stakes by introducing Knull, a sinister symbiote villain, but the character’s presence feels underdeveloped despite the buildup from previous films.
Critics have been divided on the film’s tone, with some praising the quirky, chaotic energy that defined the earlier films. However, the attempts to blend humor with poignant moments do not land as effectively. The plot is a messy, fast-paced sequence of events that lacks cohesion, with awkward pacing that detracts from key character developments. While the film does make brief gestures towards tying into the larger Marvel multiverse, it avoids deeper connections, leaving some plot threads hanging without a satisfying conclusion.
The action sequences are more of the same, with CGI-heavy battles that lack the innovative flair seen in other superhero films. Some standout moments, such as the final act, may appeal to die-hard fans, but the overall experience feels uneven. Juno Temple and Chiwetel Ejiofor’s characters add little to the narrative, serving more as background figures rather than meaningful additions.
Ultimately, “Venom: The Last Dance” feels like an attempt to recapture the franchise’s original charm without truly evolving, leading to a finale that misses its potential.
