Review of “Venom: The Last Dance”: Tom Hardy’s farewell was without a sparkle

Venom: The Last Dance arrives in cinemas to end the journey Tom Hardy like the legendary symbiote. His Eddie Brock says goodbye, completing a trilogy that, although irregular, heads Spider-Man Universe from Sony. for six years now. Additionally, the film also introduces a new main villain for the franchise. Knull. The Symbiote God is a brutal threat who promises to return in future films. with or without I in them.

Plot Venom: The Last Dance restore Eddie And I in Mexico. The main character runs from federal agents after the events of the second part, as they blame him for what happened. Moreover, formidable KnullThe Black King woke up in his galactic prison, in which he was imprisoned by symbiotes. And to escape and begin his reign of terror, he needs uniqueness, which lies only in relationships Eddie And I. To do this, he will send his terrifying symbiote-hunting creatures through interdimensional portals to Earth.

As unusual as it is interesting

After the failure of the second part, fans feared what might happen to Venom: The Last Dance. Moreover, Sony Pictures took a risk by entrusting this farewell to a new director. Kelly Marcelwho, although he wrote the scripts for the entire saga from the very beginning, never directed anything during his career. Luckily, the film defied those predictions and far outperformed its predecessor.

Venom: The Last Dance distances itself from this in order to approach the best successes of the first film. This makes it a much more entertaining film, full of action and of course, very popcorn-y. At this point, the company is clear that it has no intention of reinventing the superhero movie, but rather delivering stories that entertain audiences. After several premieres failed miserably in this mission, with this closure of the trilogy Marseilles He debuted with strength to finally take a small victory.

This doesn’t mean that Venom: The Last Dance It is considered one of the greatest modern films in this genre, but it is not. Its script remains inconsistent, over-explained, and has plenty of holes throughout. Everything happens quickly and flows with a noticeably irregular rhythm, which largely deprives it of coherence. And there are still traces of that excessive humor that sometimes causes embarrassment to others. But at least he manages to reach the pinnacle of vilification Spider-Man Universe from Sony. (not counting cartoons, which play in a different league of quality). The result is enough to leave a pleasant taste in your mouth.

More structured relationships

One of the film’s strengths is that it again focuses on the complex relationships between I And Eddie. Just like in the original film, Venom: The Last Dance explores the most emotional aspect of this strange dynamic. The journalist and the symbiote understand each other better and better, but in some moral aspects they continue to maintain noticeably detached characters. This results in the first half being a pure and simple ‘buddy movie’.

A road trip from Mexico to the United States, including a ride with hippies and a stop in Las Vegas, which essentially takes place in a series of sketches, some surrealistically comic and others action-packed. Structure of this part Venom: The Last Dance is interesting to the point that the film fizzles out when the camera focuses on other characters. It is his protagonists who constantly keep him afloat. In this regard, work Tom Hardy It’s flawless again. His affection for I and in each of the recordings he gives everything that the footage requires. His character deserves a better trilogy.

In addition, the arrival Knull It’s pretty well balanced. Sony used the same strategy that Marvel once used with Thanos. That is, he showed the face of the most absolute evil, but for now he keeps it in the background. Villains Venom: The Last Dance They are more like his pawns than he himself. Black King. Although at first glance it may seem like everything is wasted, in the early stages the idea is good. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to complete it with the same success.

Powerful finale

In any case, what will be remembered Venom: The Last Dance This is his constant action. The film has many scenes in this style from the very beginning. It even contains, again, quite shocking and hooligan imagery for a film for people over 13 years of age. Not to mention some more successful special effects than ever before in the saga. The film manages to reach its peak when it reaches its explosive final act. A solid end to a party that banishes all traces of humor and melodrama to focus on the great battle that keeps the pulse going.

With this result, Venom: The Last Dance He grows even more and puts the finishing touches on a film that, despite its many flaws, gets the job done. It’s very conventional, predictable and rushed. But on the surface it’s watchable and is, in fact, the most entertaining installment of the trilogy, and therefore the entire franchise, without being over-the-top on its merits. Followers I from Tom Hardy They have reasons to return to theaters as they have done in the past.

Venom: The Last Dance opens in theaters Friday, October 25th.
