Venom: The Last Dance debuts with soft Rotten Tomatoes rating

As a die-hard fan who has been following the Venom series since its inception, I must admit that my expectations for this final installment were sky-high. After all, I’ve grown accustomed to the thrilling ride of Eddie Brock and his symbiote, Venom. But alas, it seems like the critics have other opinions, with a disappointing 37% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.


The Last Dance” has started off with mediocre ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, as critics find it less impressive compared to its earlier version.

In this third and concluding chapter of the series, we find ourselves following the story of journalist Eddie Brock, portrayed by Tom Hardy, along with his symbiote companion. They are forced to flee as they are pursued relentlessly by authorities originating from both human and extraterrestrial realms.

Besides Hardy, the movie’s impressive lineup also features Chiwetel Ejiofor, Stephen Graham, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, and Andy Serkis. For the first time, Kelly Marcel, who has written the scripts for the last two parts, is stepping into directing with this film.

Prior to its theater debut on October 25th, initial critic reviews are out for the movie, and it has a 37% positive score on Rotten Tomatoes. This is an improvement over the original film’s 30% rating within the series.

It is, however, substantially lower than the mark of 57% that was achieved by the second instalment, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, though there is scope for the score to increase given that only 87 reviews have come in.

Digital Spy’s assessment of “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” describes it as the most enjoyable part of the three-film series, albeit a somewhat muddled conclusion for this chaotic trilogy.

Slant Magazine

As the movie unfolds, it gradually increases both the risk and grandeur of its action sequences, ensuring clarity even during the intense moments leading up to the finale. It avoids becoming a chaotic blur of computer-generated effects.

Vanity Fair

Venom: The Last Dance appears designed for viewing on flights during those drowsy hours between mealtime and restless slumber. It seems to work better when stumbled upon unintentionally, rather than being purposefully chosen.

Variety

The “Venom” films are considered light-hearted entertainment at best, catering primarily to the immature enjoyment of comic book fans. The more sarcastic and computer-generated imagery (CGI) they include, the greater their appeal seems to be.

The Guardian

It moves swiftly, has a bold and self-aware sense of humor about its own goofiness, yet it’s also excessively cluttered.

Hollywood Reporter

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and nostalgia as we reach the final installment of this trilogy. The culmination promises an emotional release that is sure to resonate with fans who have followed the journey so far. There’s even a delightful dash of humor, reminiscent of a well-aged cheese, to lighten the somber tones and make the farewell all the more bittersweet.

IndieWire

The movie concludes with an aptly emotional or absurd homage, paying tribute to the most remarkable romantic tale between a man and his extraordinary gel-like extraterrestrial companion.
