Venom: The Last Dance Review - Whimper, Not a Bang

Remember that time you were really excited for a sequel, but it just…didn’t quite live up to the hype? That’s exactly how I feel about "Venom: The Last Dance." It’s like the producers decided to play it safe, resulting in a movie that feels kinda tired and predictable.

This time around, Eddie Brock and Venom are back, and they're facing off against a new villain: a creepy, spider-like alien named “The Friend.” But here’s the thing: The fight scenes are kinda lackluster, and the whole alien-buddy thing feels forced. The plot just doesn't grab you, and even though there are some funny moments, it’s not enough to save the movie.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Good:

• Tom Hardy is still amazing. He really brings Venom to life, and his comedic timing is on point. I mean, who else could make a symbiotic alien seem so relatable?
• The special effects are solid. The visuals are pretty cool, especially when they showcase Venom’s powers.

Bad:

• The story feels flat. The whole "friend" storyline just doesn't have the same punch as the first movie. It’s like they were trying to come up with a new villain, but they ended up just going through the motions.
• The pacing is off. The movie feels like it's dragging on, and there’s a lot of dead space in between the action. You’d think there would be more focus on the action sequences, right?

Ugly:

• The ending. I can't even get into it. It's like they were trying to leave it open for a sequel, but it just doesn't work. The whole thing just left me feeling disappointed.

The Takeaway

"Venom: The Last Dance" is a decent enough film if you're a fan of the Venom franchise. But it’s not gonna blow you away. It's a movie that’s more forgettable than memorable. It's like, you know, if you ate a plate of fries at a fast-food joint. It’s not bad, but it’s not great either.

If you’re a die-hard Venom fan, maybe give it a shot. But if you’re just looking for a fun, action-packed flick, there are definitely better options out there.
