Next up, Tom Hardy has made his return as a superhero in Venom: The Last Dance, but it seems that critics have not been impressed. The final installment of the Marvel trilogy is now showing in theaters, with the 47-year-old reprising his role as Eddie Brock. The star-studded cast includes Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Stephen Graham. In this sequel, both Eddie and Venom are on the run and being hunted down by police for the death of Mulligan. They also have to face off against a team led by government official Rex Strickland, as well as a creepy Xenophage monster. The story takes them on a wild journey from Las Vegas to a showdown at Area 51, with plenty of action and familiar references along the way.
Despite some exciting moments, director Kelly Marcel has faced harsh criticism for her efforts to bring Venom's story to a close. One particularly scathing review even goes so far as to compare the movie to the highly-criticized Joker 2. The film currently has a critic score of 37% on Rotten Tomatoes, while the audience score is much higher at 77%. Andrew Parker from The Gate describes the action as "bad but palatable" when Tom Hardy is on screen, but "unbearable" when he's not. Mike McGranaghan from Aisle Seat calls it an "appropriately awful finale" to one of the worst movie trilogies ever. Howard Waldstein from CBR goes as far as to say that Venom 3 is on par with Joker 2 as the worst superhero movie of all time.
Abby Olcese from The Pitch criticizes the movie for being sloppy and messy, while Joseph Robinson from Fish Jelly Films says it fails to deliver on the promise of its title. The official synopsis tells us that in Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy returns as the complex character of Venom for the final installment of the trilogy. The duo is on the run and being pursued by their enemies, leading to a difficult decision that will bring their story to an end.
Tom Hardy first appeared as Eddie and Venom in the original Venom movie in 2018, alongside Riz Ahmed, Michelle Williams, and Reid Scott. This was followed by the 2021 sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, with The Last Dance bringing the trilogy to a close. Director Kelly Marcel has hinted that there may be more to come in the Venom universe, but it is ultimately up to Sony to decide. The Last Dance marks the end of their three-film contract and they have laid the groundwork for future stories with other characters and symbiotes. However, this is the final chapter for Venom and Eddie.
