Venom: The Last Dance sees Eddie and Venom on the run from Venom’s creator who was imprisoned by all of the symbiotes. The film stars Tom Hardy, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Clark Backo, Stephen Graham, Peggy Lu, Rhys Ifans, Alanna Ubach, Hala Finley, Dash McCloud, Jared Abrahamson, and Cristo Fernandez.

I thought Venom: The Last Dance was a good movie. I enjoyed it. I liked the first Venom but was not a fan of Venom: Let There Be Carnage. I enjoyed Venom: The Last Dance a lot more. Tom Hardy does a great job as Eddie Brock, and I like the relationship between Eddie and Venom. That is really the heart of the story.

The rest of the cast does a good job. Tom Hardy is really the one that shines the most. There are not many characters in the movie. Some characters seem a bit random, but it seems to work for the movie. For Marvel aficionados and fans of any of the films, there is no multiversal explanation about Chiwetel Ejiofor and Rhys Ifans’ characters. Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Karl Mordo in Doctor Strange. Rhys Ifans played Dr. Curt Connors aka The Lizard in the Amazing Spider-Man and reprised the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Whether their characters in Venom: The Last Dance, are variants of their past roles remains to be seen. In fact, the multiverse is not really dealt with at all in The Last Dance. The focus is more on Eddie and Venom’s relationship and learning more about Venom’s creator.

The movie can be silly at times. As hinted at in the trailers there is a dance scene between Venom and Mrs. Chen played by Peggy Lu. It’s fun and silly and a little bit random but that seems to be part of the Venom charm. There have been complaints in the past from some audience members in regard to Venom trying to copy Deadpool when it comes to the humor. There may be similarities however, I think it works fine. The Venom movies are meant to be fun comic book movies. It doesn’t necessarily take itself too seriously.

Even though this is billed as the final film in the Venom trilogy, there are two credit scenes. There is a midcredit scene and a post credit scene.

Venom: The Last Dance is a satisfying conclusion to a rocky trilogy. I personally enjoyed Venom but did not care for Venom: Let There Be Carnage. The heart of the story is Eddie and Venom’s relationship. It will be interesting to see what happens next with the characters. A big question is now that this franchise is over, will Tom Hardy finally get to share the screen with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. Another big question is what will happen to the Sony Spider-Verse going forward? Could there ever be a Venom 4? Maybe. If the other Sony Spider-verse movies continue to perform poorly then there is a good chance a Venom 4 might become a reality. There was never a really clear picture of what Sony wants to do with their Spider-verse. This movie does not really help make it any clearer.

I enjoyed Venom: The Last Dance. I thought it was fun and it gets emotional at times. It’s a good final chapter for the characters. I would like to see Tom Hardy hop over to the MCU properly and meet up with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man.
