Which transformation is your favorite?
Line of Events
Eddie and Venom are on the run and are pursued by both worlds. As circumstances close in, they are forced to make a heartbreaking choice that could spell the end of their symbiotic partnership. Take a look at some of our favorite superheroes in costume and incognito. Tom Holland has said that he and Amy Pascal have discussed the possibility of him reprising his role as Spider-Man in future Venom sequels. In a wide shot of Las Vegas, you can see the Sphere, a structure that was completed and opened in 2023. However, in the film, Eddie mentions that he and Venom have been together for a year.
My House Has Found Us
The first Venom movie is set in 2018, making this film set in 2019, 4 years before the Sphere exists. Venom: Eddie… Featured in The 7PM Project: Episode dated October 25, 2024 (2024). My relationship with the Venom franchise has been rocky. I love the first one, I absolutely hate the second one, and now we’re at the end of the trilogy, and thankfully, it’s an improvement. Venom: The Last Dance works best when it focuses on Eddie and Venom’s story instead of trying to set up the future of the Sonyverse.
The action is inventive and the humor hits the mark
If you didn’t like the previous Venom movies, this one won’t change your mind. It’s still messy, but it’s more accurate than its predecessors. It’s by far the campiest and most mature of the bunch. It takes its time with the characters, letting us sit with them instead of rushing us into the next action scene. Still rated PG-13, it manages to pack in a lot more gore than its predecessors. It also doesn’t shy away from getting personal and emotional.
Eddie and Venom’s relationship has never felt more authentic
I admit, I cried a few times at the end. Some may be disappointed with Knull’s portrayal, but personally, I loved it. He comes across as an overwhelming threat rather than a one-off villain, and the “God of Darkness” gets the Thanos treatment he deserves. Now, don’t get me wrong, the movie is still bad, technically speaking, but it knows that. Instead of being “bad bad,” it chooses to be “fun bad” and entertain you, and I respect that. Not every movie has to be great; sometimes, being fun is enough.
I found myself connecting with these characters more than the script intended
Even with the downs, I still found a strange sense of comfort in this take on Venom. So I’m happy to say that in the end, it justifies the existence of this trilogy enough – and to the point where I’d rather live in a world where the Venom movies exist than one where they don’t.
