Venom: The Last Dance is the most entertaining outing of the trilogy

As a long-time fan of the Venom series, I must say that my journey with Eddie Brock and his symbiotic friend has been quite the rollercoaster. From the initial confusion of the first movie to the chaotic fun of the second, I was ready for anything in Venom: The Last Dance.

It’s almost irrelevant to review a Venom movie, which is probably not what we should be saying at the start of a review of Venom: The Last Dance.

Following an uneven beginning in the series with Venom, it seemed that Tom Hardy and Kelly Marcel understood that fans were craving more quirky interactions between Eddie and Venom. Venom: Let There Be Carnage was a positive move forward, and Venom 3 maintains this progression, heading in an even better direction.

This movie primarily focuses on the humorous antics of Eddie and Venom, as they embark on a self-propelled road trip reminiscent of “Thelma & Louise,” with the plot taking a backseat. If you weren’t a fan of the earlier films, this one may not win you over either, as it maintains familiar issues.

If you’re completely on board with the Venom series, then you’ll find Venom: The Last Dance to be the most thrilling installment of the trio – it may even tug at your heartstrings.

The action in “Venom: The Last Dance” commences straightaway following Eddie and Venom’s brief stint in the MCU, as depicted in the credit scenes of “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home“. With Eddie (played by Tom Hardy) being pursued for the murder of Patrick Mulligan (Stephen Graham), he is left with no alternative but to elude capture.

The creator of Venom, Knull, is tracking down both Eddie and Venom, which could lead to significant consequences, not just for symbiotes but for all mankind. Add in clandestine government research on symbiotes being conducted within a lab hidden under Area 51, and you’ve got the makings of an extraordinary climax.

However, contrary to expectations, Venom 3 doesn’t entirely fit the mold of its predecessors. Unlike before, Eddie Brock and Venom spend much of their time operating independently, often detached from a narrative burdened with excessive explanations and foreboding messages.

Occasionally, Eddie and Venom find themselves fleeing from two distinct threats: military personnel commanded by General Strickland (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) or the Xenophage – a ferocious alien that sprays blood from its neck upon consuming humans – which pursues them due to Knull’s manipulation. Generally, however, Eddie and Venom enjoy their time going on spontaneous road trips without such hindrances.

In this film, the choice made significantly benefits its plotline. During their travels, they take time to join in a fun car karaoke session with Martin, an enthusiast of extraterrestrial life, and his family. They also have a heartwarming reunion with Mrs. Chen and save some dogs from dangerous Mexican gangs.

Kelly Marcel, who collaborated on the script with Hardy (as they did for “Venom 2”), emphasizes the quirky dynamics of Eddie and Venom’s bond in a delightful manner. This approach might not be entirely clear at first glance, but you won’t need to ponder over it too much because it’s simply entertaining to observe.

In the movie “Venom 3”, there’s a split personality-like quality due to its plot requirements. Frequent scenes focusing on Strickland and Dr. Teddy Paine (portrayed by Juno Temple), who is researching symbiotes, are interspersed throughout. Unfortunately, Ejiofor and Temple find themselves dealing with the less engaging elements of the film, including conventional tropes such as confronting a traumatic past.

In simpler terms, it seems as if the film acknowledges that this part is less engaging, and instead of showing a full lab scene, it quickly cuts through it to focus on Eddie and Venom’s activities. Afterward, it resumes the lab scene from where it was abruptly cut off.

As a diehard fan, I found myself drawn into the story in the climax, where Eddie Brock and Venom make their entrance. However, the movie seemed to be overwhelmed by excessive visual effects, a common issue in many comic-book films. There were definitely some thrilling moments that pleased Venom fans like me, but the fast-paced action was so intense at times that it became challenging to follow the storyline and understand its purpose.

In comparison to the earlier Venom films, Venom 3 stands out because its finale successfully strikes an emotional chord. It’s uncommon for final movies to truly evoke such feelings, although there are hints of future possibilities within this universe. However, it effectively concludes the storyline for Eddie and Venom in a satisfying manner.

The extended journey with Eddie and Venom turns out to be remarkably effective because it reveals tender aspects of both characters, and Tom Hardy delivers convincingly in both subtle moments and humorous, quirky scenes. By the end, you might find yourself unexpectedly invested in their relationship.

The movie “Venom: The Last Dance” concludes the turbulent trilogy in an appropriate blend of styles, and particularly in terms of its tumultuous main characters, it does not disappoint.

Venom: The Last Dance is released in cinemas on October 25.
