With the completion of the trilogy, Tom Hardy and his Venom film series are leaving the dark corner of the Marvel universe. Initial reactions speak of a fun conclusion.
In a few days, Venom: The Last Dance will be prancing into local cinemas. Some international colleagues have already seen the third Marvel antihero film with Tom Hardy and his slimy alien friend and revealed their opinions online (via Variety ). “Fun” is the big consensus.
In the third and final Venom adventure from screenwriter and director Kelly Marcel, Eddie Brock and his alien symbiote are on the run because both characters’ worlds are after them.
First reactions to Venom 3: Guys just wanna have fun
Comic Book’s Chris Killian writes about the conclusion of the Venom trilogy: “Venom: The Last Dance is a wacky buddy road trip that pushes its PG-13 rating to the limit. In short, Venom 3 is classic guilty-pleasure cinema. Turn off your brain and let Venom nibble on it.”

Joseph Deckelmeier from Screenrant, on the other hand, says: “Venom: The Last Dance takes you on a wild and exciting journey from start to finish! It’s a fun popcorn movie that reminds me of the comic book movies of the early 2000s. The action is great and pays homage to 80s action movies. There are a lot of funny moments. Are there plot holes and some problems with the story? Yes. Is it fun? Also yes.”
Digital Spy’s Ian Sandwell even considers Venom 3 the most entertaining part of the series: ”Venom: The Last Dance is the most entertaining installment of the trilogy. It’s mostly a fun and sweet road trip, with Eddie and Venom living out their Thelma and Louise fugitive dreams, complete with car karaoke and dog rescue. You might even get a little sentimental.”
