 Venom: The Last Dance, the third installment in the Venom franchise, has been released. According to Charles Pulliam-Moore's review on The Verge, the film sticks to its ridiculous lane and doesn't deviate from its formula. The movie focuses on the ups and downs of Eddie Brock's (Tom Hardy) long-term relationship with the alien symbiote Venom.

The Last Dance picks up where Let There Be Carnage left off, with Eddie and Venom trying to escape their pursuers and find a way to clear their names. The film introduces Knull, a powerful symbiote god who seeks revenge on his parasitic children for imprisoning him. However, the plot is weak, and the visual effects are subpar.

Despite its flaws, the movie's strength lies in Tom Hardy's performances as Eddie and Venom. His portrayal of the characters' emotional connection and weariness is believable and engaging. The film also concludes the trilogy on a fitting note, bringing closure to Eddie and Venom's story.
