Among the countless superhero movies that have taken over the movie industry, there is one series that has surprised fans, so-called “fans” and snobs alike, and that is Venom.
It is the only movie in Sony’s Spider-Man universe to make money using characters other than Spider-Man. It confuses many people. The first film in 2018 grossed an astonishing $856 million, proving that, just like Deadpool, there is a new star character to draw audiences to. However, most people thought the movie was terrible. On the other hand, I felt that it captured the emotion and tone of the 90’s Venom comics, especially after putting him in a different place where Peter Parker isn’t, and he’s not as good as other heroes like He has become a staunch antihero in his own right, along with The Punisher, Ghost Rider, and Wolverine.
Tom Hardy’s bizarre interpretation of Eddie Brock, the symbiote host and Venom’s human half, adds to the film’s appeal. The second movie focused on Carnage wasn’t as good as the first and didn’t make as much money at the box office, but it was still a good time for me. We’re here with Venom: The Last Dance, the final film in this alien odd couple trilogy. Here, the Venom duo have something that threatens the universe and must deal with it while on the run from the events of the end of the previous movie, when the big evil being of the universe is looking for them . Our goofy duo must hide from the symbiote-hunting army and its threats. And all the different elements come together for an explosive grand finale.
Hardy is really good at playing Eddie Brock, a very empathetic and sad boy who is completely different from the comics. He also does the voice of Venom, and I think they both do a great job as a comedy duo right now, similar in their approach to The Odd Couple (TV version). The movie primarily wants to focus on these two wandering around the country, but then it remembers that it needs to be a grand old superhero spectacle. This is where the shine is lost and many people become uncomfortable. The military characters, scientists, and alien animals hunting Eddie and Venom are very boring. General Rex Strickland, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, isn’t very motivated and makes some very stupid decisions, but I enjoy watching Ejiofor on screen. Juno Temple’s character, Dr. Payne, is pretty useless and doesn’t have much to do. When Eddie and Venom meet a family on a road trip to see pre-decommissioned Area 51, some fun stuff happens. Rhys Ifans plays the father, Martin, and Alana Ubach plays the mother. These hippies do a great job of playing Eddie and Venom, like in the old 70’s TV show “The Incredible Hulk.” Peggy Lu returns as Mrs. Chen and her hilarious scene with Venom in Las Vegas was a huge hit with theater audiences.
Overall, people will say this movie is terrible, and I know you might too. For me, Venom: The Last Dance is interesting, fun, and still gives me that feel of the original comics. That’s something we don’t really get from other Marvel films or television shows right now. He doesn’t take himself seriously, but he has a strong heart, even if the plot is light. Even if you don’t see it in theaters, it’s probably worth checking out at home later this year.
