Venom: The Last Dance Review
“Venom: The Last Dance” is the culmination of Sony’s trilogy of the title character, and also gave much to digest. Its storyline brought much to the table without ever becoming too much to unravel by the end. It’s the culmination of Sony’s only successfully handled Marvel project, aside from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and marks the next step for the franchise on a suitably entertaining emotionally filled page.
Moreover, this is Kelly Marcel’s first feature, and it is not a bad start. She has a clear direction and vision that the first two movies lack. Further, the movie did a very good job in terms of pacing, as all elements of the film were well brought forth at the right time. There was rarely any letup between action sequences. It is one of the best times you’ll spend in the theater this year, and the money will be well worth it.
The point is clear, but the rest of the film feels disjointed with minimal character development from others, choppy editing, and shots that just sit there for no reason. There’s a lull through the middle of the movie, where the pace grinds pretty much, but the ending comes with some thrilling action, adding some surprising heart to it, though nothing so much that invests this audience in the continued story.
Overall, “Venom: The Last Dance” is a joyride that we think sticks its landing. For sure, the film caters to that itch about the action-packed antiheroics and, sends you off with a smile, along with temporary sadness as the viewers bid goodbye to this trilogy.
