If this truly marks the final chapter for Venom, the conclusion mirrors its inception: a largely unremarkable superhero narrative occasionally lifted by Tom Hardy's erratic Jekyll-and-Hyde portrayal. Venom The Last Dance Flixtor struggles to balance the demands of a high-budget comic book film with a more intimate tale of a boy and his alien companion. The looming threat of Knull often overshadows the film, leading to unsatisfactory outcomes, yet there are moments of enjoyment to be found on this bizarre journey towards the end, primarily thanks to the charismatic, toothy symbiote. Mediocre action sequences and new characters that detract from the unique bond at the core of the franchise indicate that it may be time to retire this iteration of Venom. One can only hope that whatever emerges next will resonate more effectively.
