Released in theaters on October 25, Venom: Venom: the Last Dance wraps up the Sony trilogy that began in 2018. Packed with thrilling action and unexpected twists, this film keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.
Written and directed by Kelly Marcel, the story follows Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), who has bonded with an alien symbiote from outer space named Venom. Eddie and Venom have been inseparable since their first encounter, living together and becoming an unusual but loyal team.
The Story
Venom, an alien symbiote, arrived on Earth alongside others in the first Venom movie. These symbiotes need a human host to survive, and Venom found a perfect match with Eddie. Over time, the two have become close friends. However, the plot in this movie takes a different turn. Unlike in the second film, where Eddie and Venom manage to overcome their enemies, they now face an indestructible creature called a Xenophage, sent by the supervillain Knull. The Xenophages target Venom specifically for a codex that only he possesses. The story showcases Eddie and Venom’s intense battle to protect the codex and stop these evil creatures from achieving their goals.
The Style
One standout aspect of the film is its use of humor. Despite being an action-packed sci-fi movie, it incorporates comedy during even the most intense moments. Tom Hardy shines as Eddie, bringing depth to his character with his comedic timing and strong acting skills.
The movie’s pacing is another strength—there’s never a dull moment. Viewers can easily follow the storyline, even with multiple characters and plot elements. Juno Temple’s character, a scientist investigating the origins of these creatures, fits seamlessly into the plot, adding another layer of excitement.
The Man Behind the Symbiote
This third movie adds depth to Venom’s character. While Venom appears to be a menacing creature, his character is more complex and misunderstood. Several scenes reveal Venom’s willingness to help others, showing a side of him that is protective, even empathetic. Kelly Marcel skillfully balances Venom’s ferocity with his more sympathetic qualities.
Final Verdict
Overall, Venom: The Last Dance delivers an action-packed, satisfying conclusion to this fan-favorite trilogy. It’s a must-watch for Marvel fans, closing Eddie and Venom’s story with high stakes, humor, and heart.
