‘Venom: The Last Dance’ is a fun and fitting farewell to Tom Hardy’s alien antics (review)

With the exception of James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” trilogy, few Marvel-based superhero films of recent memory have cultivated the wicked charm, gallows humor, and delirious fun as the three “Venom” films, and the final triumphant entry, “Venom: The Last Dance,” does not disappoint by any means.

Much of the credit for the success of this third and last entry of the “Venom” trilogy goes to first-time director Kelly Marcel, who handles this $120 million production like a seasoned professional. 

Marcel, who co-wrote the first “Venom” film from 2018 as well as penning its 2021 sequel, “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” shared the screenwriting credits this time on “The Last Dance” with its charismatic star Tom Hardy. Together they’ve sent the ravenous symbiote out in high style here, with a brisk and boisterous entertainment that clocks in at just 109 minutes.

Released this past weekend by Sony Pictures and already raking in $175 million worldwide, “Venom: The Last Dance” does exactly what it intended to do, and accomplishes it with the confidence of knowing what its strengths are and delivering them to “Venom” fans who might just be a little choked up at the movie’s conclusion.
