Venom: The Last Dance Review: Bad, But Not Accidentally
Ugh, where do I even begin? I went into "Venom: The Last Dance" expecting pure, unadulterated trash. And you know what? It delivered. It was bad, but not accidentally bad. It was bad in a way that felt like it was actively trying to be bad.
The plot? Let's just say it's a rollercoaster ride of nonsensical twists and turns. One minute you're watching Eddie Brock try to convince Venom to be a good boy, the next you're caught up in a convoluted scheme involving a villain with a name that sounds like it came straight out of a bad sci-fi novel.
The Acting: A Mixed Bag
Tom Hardy, as always, delivers. He's the only reason this movie isn't a complete disaster. He throws himself into the role of Eddie Brock, embracing the character's quirks and struggles with a level of commitment that's almost admirable. The rest of the cast? Let's just say they're not exactly award-worthy.
Special Effects: A Visual Feast of Blandness
The CGI is a mixed bag. Some scenes look like they were ripped straight from a PS2 game, while others are surprisingly passable. It's like they couldn't decide whether they wanted to go for a realistic look or a campy, over-the-top vibe.
The Bottom Line: A Missed Opportunity
"Venom: The Last Dance" is a missed opportunity. The first movie, while not perfect, had its moments. This one just feels... flat. It's not scary, it's not funny, and it's not even entertainingly bad.
Honestly, if you're looking for a good time, watch something else. There are way better superhero flicks out there, and even way better bad superhero movies.
