‘Venom: The Last Dance’ First Reactions Praise Final Film as a ‘Feast for Fans’ and the ‘Most Entertaining of the Trilogy’: ‘Tom Hardy Gives It His All’

 

Early reactions for Venom: The Last Dance are in, and critics are calling the final installment a "feast for the fans" and "the most entertaining of the trilogy." The film, starring Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock, also known as Venom, has been praised for its action, humor, and emotional depth, providing a fitting conclusion to the series.

In Venom: The Last Dance, Eddie and Venom are on the run, hunted by both their worlds, leading to a devastating choice that brings their story to a close. According to Joseph Deckelmeier of Screen Rant, the film takes viewers on a “wild and exhilarating journey,” describing it as a fun, action-packed movie that evokes the early 2000s comic book film era. He notes that while the movie has plot holes, it remains a highly enjoyable ride.

Digital Spy’s Ian Sandwell called the third installment the "most entertaining" of the trilogy, describing it as a humorous, heartfelt road trip with Eddie and Venom living out a “Thelma & Louise” dynamic. Fans might even get emotional, Sandwell noted, as the film balances quirky moments with deeper stakes.

The movie also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Peggy Lu, and Stephen Graham, with Kelly Marcel directing. Marcel, who co-wrote and produced the first two Venom films, also co-developed the story for Venom 3 with Hardy.

The Atom Review praised Hardy's performance, calling it an "epic and emotional finale," and emphasized the film’s stunning action, referring to it as one of the best comic book films ever. The review noted that the movie is a true love letter to the fans, combining bold action, humor, and an engaging story.

Other reactions highlight the movie's chaotic fun and massive set pieces. Simon Thompson described it as a "raging road movie" with crazy action scenes, while Drew Taylor praised it for ramping up both the insanity and emotional stakes, calling it “super entertaining” with some truly wild moments.

Venom: The Last Dance hits theaters on Oct. 25, with critics calling it a highly entertaining finale to the trilogy, packed with thrills, laughs, and emotional moments.
