STUDENT SURVEY VIEW SCORE 7/10
The long-awaited Venom: The Last Dance has finally hit theaters, bringing Tom Hardy’s journey as Eddie Brock and his alien counterpart, Venom, to a dramatic close. Fans of the franchise hoped for an epic send-off, but while the film delivers action and humor, it struggles with an uneven tone and a sometimes chaotic storyline.
This time around, Eddie and Venom find themselves on the run from a powerful new threat—Knull, the ancient and godlike ruler of the symbiotes. With high stakes and an ominous villain, the movie promises an intense battle for survival. However, while it features thrilling action sequences and the signature banter between Eddie and Venom, the film occasionally feels disjointed, bouncing between comedy, horror, and sci-fi without a clear balance.
Tom Hardy once again shines in his dual role, fully embracing the dynamic between Eddie and Venom. Their love-hate relationship remains a highlight, with moments of humor and heartfelt emotion. However, the screenplay doesn’t always support Hardy’s performance, with some dialogue and plot points feeling rushed or underdeveloped.
Visually, the movie impresses with its CGI and action choreography. The symbiote transformations and fight scenes are well-executed, keeping audiences engaged even when the story falters. Despite this, some fans may feel that Venom: The Last Dance doesn’t quite live up to the hype, lacking the cohesion and impact expected for the trilogy’s final chapter.
Critics have been divided, with some praising the film’s entertainment value and others pointing out its narrative flaws. The box office performance reflects this mixed reception, with a lower-than-expected opening weekend. Still, for longtime fans of the Venom series, the movie offers a nostalgic farewell and a few memorable moments.
While it may not be a perfect conclusion, Venom: The Last Dance provides a fun and action-packed ride. Whether it leaves audiences satisfied or wanting more depends on how much they enjoy the franchise’s signature mix of chaos and comedy.
