6 Thoughts on Venom: The Last Dance (Review)
Man, I really hated Venom: The Last Dance. Everything about this movie bugged the heck out of me. And I’m not some hater. I actually mostly enjoyed the first two films, and even gave them positive reviews on this same blog. So I went into Venom 3 with relatively OK expectations. Those very same expectations were very quickly dashed.
Movie Rating: 2/10 – Very Bad
Something went wrong with this movie. Was it edited to within an inch of its life? Did nobody care? Did SONY throw in the towel immediately after Morbius and Madame Webb and just not bother with Venom 3, despite the box office success of the earlier films? Why was the editing so sloppy? Why was the script so terrible? Did anyone actually care about making this franchise work? Ugh.
Anyway, join me after the jump for my thoughts and full review of Venom: The Last Dance. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole film because I’m just going to ramble on about it however I feel like.

There’s a new Wallace & Gromit movie coming early next year! It’s been nearly 20 years since the last one, so huzzahs all around! Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is coming to Netflix!
Looks fun to me! And looks like a nice way to start this lovely Thursday. Why is it lovely? I don’t know. It just is. And a little lazy. So let us revel and just cherish in a new trailer for Wallace & Gromit stuff. Looks funny. Looks same as always. Looks like exactly what we want.
Vengeance Most Fowl comes to Netflix on Jan. 3.

Looks Like I’m Getting My Robin Film
Out of nowhere yesterday, James Gunn, the current grand poobah of DC Studios, announced that they’re going to make a film about Dick Grayson and Jason Todd as Robins. Longtime readers of this blog know that I really like Robin — perhaps too much — and I’m super excited to be getting some type of serious Robin project. It’s gonna be called Dynamic Duo.
All we know about the movie so far is that it’s going to be the first feature film by Swaybox, a company that does a combination of puppetry and CGI for their animation. You can check out their website to see what their style is like. Personally, I think it’s perfect for this type of project.
I’ve always felt that Robin’s story is much better than people give it credit for. Can’t say as how I think it would be a good idea to do Dick and Jason in the same movie for some reason…instead of just Dick and Batman. But I’m going to have to trust James Gunn and Matt Reeves on this one. And I totally do!
Now we just need Robin to show up in the Reevesverse…

John Wick 5? Nah, Just Ballerina
We knew this was coming, and here it is: Ballerina, a spin-off movie from the world of John Wick. In fact, that might be the full title of the movie — From the World of John Wick: Ballerina. That’s an even worse mouthful than “A Knives Out Mystery.”
Looks fun. While I enjoy the John Wick movies as action films, I am not in love with them like some fans. I didn’t care for John Wick 4. But this perhaps means Ballerina will be all action and less John Wick mythology? I dunno. It looks action packed. It also looks like a simple attempt to just make another John Wick movie. At least Ana De Armas is awesome.
Ballerina comes to theaters June 6.

Who Knew There Were So Many Beetlejuices?
This Is Animated is back and they’ve done Beetlejuice! And where did they find enough Beetlejuices to animate? From stage productions around the world! That’s dedication to one’s bit, I tells ya.
I used to watch the Beetlejuice cartoon when I was a kid and it was a ton of fun! So this bit takes me back. I haven’t gone to see the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice movie sequel, though, because I just don’t care. I’ve only ever been mildly entertained by the original film, and I keep hearing bad things about this sequel. So I think I’m just going to let it pass me by.
And, as always, the next Tell It Animated should be about Robin! Though judging by upcoming movies…he might do one about Kraven, if he can find enough. And Sam Wilson has a new Captain America movie early next year. There have been plenty of Falcons and Captain Americas to draw from!
