Summary
Reviewers say 'Venom: The Last Dance' offers Tom Hardy's compelling dual performance with humor and intensity. Praised for its action sequences and visual effects, the film struggles with a disjointed plot and underdeveloped characters. The Eddie-Venom dynamic is strong, yet the movie is criticized for lacking originality and emotional depth. Its darker tone and humor receive mixed reactions, making it an entertaining yet flawed trilogy conclusion.
Featured reviews
Maybe it's just because of my low expectations toward the series but it was just fun to watch. I've already lost hope for the trilogy to have a decent plot but I can say that this one has a better storyline than the second film.
CGI was fine, I coudn't find any disturbing point. It was interesting to see the other symbiotes. I think those new symbiotes showed more symbiote-ish action scenes than venom when it comes to the fight ironically.
There were a few funny jokes that made me laugh but I didn't really find Eddie's weird obsession for shoes funny, like was it supposed to be funny? Guess it was meant to be humor but well... it was almost tiring.

It is genuinely impressive that Sony managed to make the most mediocre trilogy ever with such an iconic character.
In terms of enjoyment, Eddie and Venom continue to be a delightfully fun duo. In this 3rd movie, they are basically on a road trip and that was relatively entertaining for the most part. The final act of the movie was also a pretty enjoyable CGI action fest with some emotional scenes.
However, the story and script are still as flat as ever. The narrative feels very half baked with it feeling like a chain of things just randomly happening. Pointless characters that don't add much. Jokes being thrown at you just to see which land. Rhys Ifans and Chiwetel Ejiofor characters could have been played by anyone but feels purposely done because they knew fans recognised them from other Marvel projects. The villain Knull looks cool but is just there to be teased for future projects.
Overall, it is better than the second film but just on par with the first. It is a mediocre final entry. Sony continues to disappoint with their universe and We all know Venom is coming back somehow. I do worry for Spiderman 4 and hope Sony don't mess that movie in anyway.

I just don't get it, I thought the 1st Venom was good despite many fans may not have liked it. I'm not a comic fan, so for me it was good that they try to make it as relatable and realistic to just your average movie goer.
The 2nd film was cringy and terrible in my opinion because the story didn't make much sense, too much drama, poetry, and bromance. I lost interest after watching that one but the trailer for this film looked good.
Right from the beginning I realize this was going to be bad. I don't care about the multi-verse, I don't care about Knull, I don't care about all these comic lores. The story is completely unrelatable and the suspension of disbelief failed early on.
And then to top it off, the ending was just awful.
4/10 for the special effects. Everything else is a 0.

"Venom: The Last Dance' is a messy buddy road trip in which you must turn your brains off...again.
Is it perfect? Nah, far from it. I think there are way too many storylines in here, and the main one got some potential, but it was wasted in typical Sony fashion. The "Spider-Man 4" rumors have been blown out of proportion in my opinion, so temper your expectations.
The duo between Eddie and Venom is as fun as always. I mean Tom Hardy and the banter between them...I'm sorry, the banter between Hardy and himself is the best part of these movies (Hardy is doing the voice of Venom).
The humor is there, but can't say I laughed all that much, beacause most of the jokes are base level childish again. It must be a bit more emotional as a whole, because supposedly is the last time we see Venom (hardly doubt), but it ends up kinda hollow.
Knull is there...I guess, but will see how and when they'll use him again...it's Sony after all.
It's a popcorn movie that reminds me of the early 2000's comic book movies. The action in the third act is good for the most parts and there are some funny moments here and there. Are there plot holes and some issues with the story? Yes. It's just another "Turn your brains off" Sony movie again.
There are two credit scenes, first one is kinda important, the second one not so much.

First and foremost, it felt like the makers made every poor decision possible when it came to the sound tracks and music. That which is supposed to amplify the intensity of ride simply let it remain bland throughout, even the climax, even the falling action.
With Venom and Eddie having largely ceased their bickering, their bromance has dwindled significantly in this movie. Being the conclusional piece of this hilarious trilogy, it has fallen short of many expectations.
Of course there was some of those promised action as witnessed in the trailers. But was there something which swept me off my feet which was absent from the trailers? Not really.
While the villain's back-story is rather solid, it could have been more centre-stage. Most of the characters that have made appearance in this movie felt weakly woven together; though the plot could not have moved forward without their roles, they barely left any impact. Speaking of the plot, it largely remains uneventful, with the makers just throwing a few name-sake 3D effect villainous creatures at our faces. There is only one major action sequence throughout the film, that it low-key has bottled down to something I would either skim through, or watch at a slightly increased playback speed.
If the unnecessary scenes, and by that I mean, 'adding no humor or value to the plot' scenes were deleted, it could easily boil down to half its current run-time. That being said, there could definitely be leads from where this movie has left loose ends at, but presently, it stays far aloof from being involved in such a gifting.
I feel like the last of the trilogy has not done justice to the previous two movies, it almost feels like watching a different character. The ending in particular came off to me as a tryhard terrific ending, and even if the clips were good, the track choices really did not work out for me.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAround 57 minutes in Venom says to Eddie "You could get voted People's Sexiest Man of the Year." Eddie replies "I've won Sexy Man awards before." Tom Hardy is referring to his win as the UK's Sexiest Man Alive in 2021.
- GoofsIn the first Venom film, symbiotes (the Kylntar) had to find a compatible host to survive on earth and have successful "merges" with said host. The first film showed several failures resulting in the host's death, inferring that a compatible host and merging is a rare occurrence. However, by this third installment, there is no explanation as to how or why the symbiotes in the lab battle successfully merge from host to host without the hosts dying.
