Venom: The Last Dance 2024
“Venom: The Last Dance” (2024) is the third and supposedly final chapter in Sony's Venom trilogy, directed and written by Kelly Marcel, with Tom Hardy returning as Eddie Brock/Venom.🧠 Plot Overview Eddie and Venom go on the run—first fleeing to Mexico, then heading to New York to clear Eddie's name (he’s framed for Detective Mulligan’s murder). They’re pursued by: A deadly alien tracker, the Xenophage, sent by the symbiote god Knull (Andy Serkis) seeking the “Codex” within Venom. A covert government lab named Imperium, led by Rex Strickland (Chiwetel Ejiofor), intent on capturing Venom for study.The climax unfolds in an Area 51-style environment with multiple symbiotes unleashed. The ending features a sacrificial showdown, but post‑credits teases hint at Knull’s potential return and a tiny Venom remnant surviving.⭐Critics Critics: Mixed reviews. Rotten Tomatoes shows a 40% Tomatometer (critics) and 80% audience score. Metacritic gives 41/100. Praise: Hardy’s energetic dual-role performance, the Eddie/Venom banter, and some exciting action scenes. Criticism: Overstuffed plot, inconsistent tone, CGI that doesn’t always land, and underdeveloped villains—including Knull and the Xenophage.Critics’ consensus: engaging at times thanks to Hardy and occasional humor, but weighed down by narrative chaos .Decider: suggests skipping it due to a “silly and largely pointless” feel .🧩 Is It Really the Final Act? Although marketed as the trilogy finale, the post‑credits scenes leave doors open: Knull’s return teased. A surviving Venom fragment in a roach—hinting at future revival.🧭 Should You Watch It? Go for it if you enjoy: Tom Hardy’s dynamic performance, buddy‑comedy style, loud action, and wrap‑up fan service.Skip it if you dislike: convoluted plots, tonal whiplash, and CGI overload.💰 Box Office Performance Worldwide, Venom: The Last Dance grossed approximately $478.9 million at the global box office. That breaks down to about $139.8 million in the U.S. and Canada and around $339.2 million from international markets. For comparison: The opening weekend totaled roughly $175 million worldwide ($51 M domestic + $124 M international). Despite mixed reviews, this marked a solid commercial performance, though it trailed behind the earlier entries in the trilogy in overall earnings.🎬 Conclusion “Venom: The Last Dance” brings a chaotic but entertaining end to Sony’s Venom trilogy. Tom Hardy remains the heart of the franchise, delivering his usual quirky, dual-role performance. The film leans heavily into action, sci-fi spectacle, and oddball humor, offering satisfying moments for longtime fans. However, it suffers from an overstuffed plot, underdeveloped antagonists like Knull, and inconsistent tone. While billed as the final chapter, its open-ended conclusion hints that this may not be the true end for Venom. Final verdict: Fun for fans of Hardy’s Venom, but not a must-watch for casual viewers. A flawed yet fitting farewell—or at least a pause—in Eddie and Venom’s twisted bromance.

The third installment about the symbiotic anti-hero is a mix of bright moments and disappointments. Tom Hardy once again proves why he is the perfect choice for the role of Eddie Brock/Venom, but even his charismatic performance cannot save the unbalanced ensemble. The film starts off promisingly - with dynamic action and witty dialogue between Eddie and his symbiotic companion. Their relationship is still the best the series has to offer. Hardy brilliantly manages both comedic timing and dramatic moments. The visual effects are impressive in places, especially in the action sequences where Venom shows off his abilities. At other times, however, the CGI feels inadequate and more reminiscent of a video game from the last decade. Some fights are well choreographed, others are a chaotic mix of digital effects. The biggest problem is the script, which tries to be too ambitious. It mixes several storylines, introduces new characters and antagonists, but does not give them enough space to develop. The result is a rushed pace and superficial characters. The film's darker tone is a welcome change, but it often clashes with the comedic elements, creating an unbalanced whole. The film seems unsure whether it wants to be a serious drama or a lighthearted entertainment. Venom: The Last Dance is like a roller coaster - it's ups and downs. For fans of the series, it offers enough fun, but it's hard to call it a significant step forward. This film is like an average song on a great album, but as a whole it doesn't leave a strong impression. Fans will find their own, others may be disappointed.
