Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024): The worst in the trilogy!

genre: comic book adaptation, action, adventure, science fiction





The first two films in the Venom franchise already were pretty mediocre. But at least they offered some fun entertainment. This last entry, let's hope this really is the last entry, is a major step down. It really felt like nobody cared any more. 

Tom Hardy often looked like he was just there for the paycheck. But he tried to make it look like he really wanted to be there. In this part, he forsakes that and was happy for  CGI Venom to take over. And if I am not mistaken, there is far more Venom than in the first both parts together. Normally, that would be something I would root for. But this version of Venom had been a joke since the original. And who wants more of that? I even convinced Mrs. P to watch this with me. Thirty minutes in and she fell asleep. She is a Tom Hardy fan. Actually, I need to rephrase it. She used to be a Tom Hardy fan. Not anymore. 

After having viewed the trailer I already knew that The Last Dance was going to be bad. But I had hope that it at least would offer some nice spectacle and action. Forget about it! The few one moments hardly make up to sit through this average film. It was always a weird decision to try to make films without Spider-Man. Venom's whole core exists because of him. And sure, you can have Venom have his own films but as an anti-hero? Venom is a villain. He eats people. The symbiote isn't a fun and jokey character. He would manipulate and force Eddie Brock to do the things he want. Now, if these films would have been about Eddie Brock and the symbiote battling it out and striking a balance and then doing evil things, I think that would have made the films more compelling. Especially, if they would be fighting other villains in Spider-Verse.

Overall, it's almost a drag to get through. I can't recommend this at all, not even as dumb popcorn fun.
