Venom: The Last Dance - Bad on Purpose? A Review

Let's be real, folks. The Venom franchise hasn't been setting the world on fire with its critical acclaim. But after the somewhat underwhelming Venom: Let There Be Carnage, we were curious about Venom: The Last Dance. Did they learn from their mistakes? Did they try to be good? Or did they lean into the "so bad it's good" territory? The answer is... kinda both?

A Messy, Yet Kinda Fun Ride

The Last Dance throws everything at the wall to see what sticks. The plot is a convoluted mess, with Venom going on a "soul searching" journey that involves a wacky side character who's basically the living embodiment of a bad trip. The action is over-the-top, CGI-heavy, and often hilarious in its absurdity. Think Mortal Kombat meets Mystery Men with a sprinkle of Power Rangers for good measure.

It's Not Good, But It Knows It

The movie's saving grace? It knows it's not good. The humor is self-aware, poking fun at the franchise's previous shortcomings. There's a sense of "we're just having fun here" that can be infectious. It's like watching a group of friends make a movie in their basement. You know it's gonna be rough, but there's a certain charm to it.

Should You Watch It?

Here's the thing: Venom: The Last Dance is not a good movie. But if you're in the mood for some mindless entertainment with a healthy dose of absurdity, it might be worth a shot. Just don't expect anything Oscar-worthy, and you might actually find yourself chuckling along.

The Verdict: Bad on purpose, but fun in its own right.
