The plot: Eddie Brock and Venom must make a devastating decision as they’re pursued by a mysterious military man and alien monsters from Venom’s home world.
I was most looking forward to this film.
The Vernom: The Last dance was alright.
Pros: The moments Eddie shed with that family were quite fun. Dr. Teddy Payne was the best well fresh out character. A lot of road trip aspect of the film I did enjoyed a bit, and they were cool seeing the symbiotes in action & it’s a solid farewell to this version of vernom character.
Cons: As cool to see them they didn’t get the corporate treatment they properly deserve. A lot of the comedy were not that funny. The film wasted Knull. Most of the dialogue did feel like exposition. A lot of the plot holes that never been field and, in my opinion, not as clever as the previous two.

Cristo Fernández reprises his role as the bartender from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), as well as a version of the character from Venom’s universe. Reid Scott, who previously portrayed Dr. Dan Lewis in the first two Venom films, voices the head of Imperium; he is credited as Dan despite the character not appearing in the film.
