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.
Read the rest of this entryI Didn’t See This Coming in Venom 3 Trailer!
We got a new trailer today for Venom: The Last Dance and it has a surprising villain appearance! One probably could have made an educated guess about this character showing up, but I’ve been focused entirely on hoping that Juno Temple becomes Scream.
No sign of Scream, but this trailer introduces Knull as the villain! Man, that’s a big swing. Personally, I’m no Knullhead. Dude was a lot of flash and boasting when he headlined a Venom-centric Big Event, but Venom gets one of those every year. Heck, there’s currently Venom War going on in the comics, so it’s not like the symbiotes are underutilized. But more power to the movie for bringing in Knull.
And surely Juno Temple is going to become Scream, right?! You wasted Jenny Slate in the first movie, surely you’re not going to waste Juno Temple!
Venom: The Last Dance comes to theaters on Oct. 25.

Surprise Venom 3 Trailer!
I didn’t know we were getting a Venom 3 trailer today! How exciting! I think I’m OK with the Venom movies? They’re not good movies, but the Venom/Eddie Brock dynamic more than makes up for any other shortfalls. And that’s entertaining enough. And they’re clearly leaning into all of that in the first trailer for Venom 3: The Last Dance.
Looks generic and exciting! The only thing I really want from this movie is for Juno Temple to become Scream, my favorite symbiote. There seem to be a couple of symbiotes floating in the science lab, but we don’t get a tease that any of them take over either her or Chiwetel Ejiofor, though it could happen! He could become Lasher or Phage. Venom and Eddie could lead a whole team of human/symbiote teams to take on this new threat from his homeworld!
But, again, that’s just wishful thinking that Juno Temple plays my favorite symbiote!
