Corriente Latina 
The Grand Finale of a Chaotic, Entertaining Mess
Let me start by saying this: I haven’t liked any of the Venom movies in this franchise, but I can’t bring myself to hate them either. I’ll be the first to admit, they’ve all been entertaining in one way or another – whether it’s the wild action, Venom’s ridiculous one-liners, or just the sheer mess of it all. They always found a way to be something. Venom: The Last Dance is no different – chaotic, overly ambitious, and somehow still entertaining enough to keep me from walking out.
Despite the flaws, Venom still brings the heat. His chaotic, unpredictable energy is what’s kept this franchise afloat from day one. The fight scenes in The Last Dance? Off-the-rails. We’re talking explosions, brutal combat, and Venom doing his usual thing where he tears through enemies like they’re lunch. There’s no denying the spectacle is there – and that’s what has always made these movies entertaining.
Tom Hardy, as usual, goes all-in, committing to this bizarre blend of brooding Eddie Brock and wild, hungry Venom. And while the dialogue feels like a fever dream half the time, Hardy’s chemistry with the symbiote still lands. It’s dumb, it’s ridiculous, but it’s always a little bit fun.
But let’s not get it twisted – this movie is a chaotic jumble. The Last Stand tries to tie up loose ends from the previous films while introducing new villains, side plots, and world-ending threats, and it’s just too much. It’s like the writers didn’t know whether to aim for a deep story or just throw the biggest CGI battle in your face. They went with both, and the result is pure, disjointed chaos. Coherent? Nah. Entertaining? Well, somehow, yeah.
Here’s the thing – I’ve never been in love with this franchise, but I can’t say I’ve hated it either because it always delivers some kind of experience. And that’s the crux of it. Venom has been a guilty pleasure from the start. You know it’s messy, but it’s fun to watch things fall apart in the most over-the-top way possible. It’s like they handed you a rollercoaster ride and said, “We don’t know where this is going, but hold on tight.”
By the time, The Last Dance reaches its climax, it’s more of the same: a chaotic, overly ambitious movie that trips over itself trying to do too much. But hey, just like the previous ones, it’s entertaining in its own weird way. The wild action, Venom’s constant smack-talk, and the sheer madness of it all make it fun to watch even when it doesn’t make any sense.
I’m honestly relieved this franchise is done. It’s like they took us on this bumpy, messy ride, and now we can finally step off. I haven’t loved any of these movies, but I can’t say I’ve hated them either. They’ve all found a way to be fun in some shape or fashion, and for that, I’ll give it a little nod on its way out.
Goodbye Venom. You were chaotic, confused, and sometimes downright bad – but you were never boring.
In theaters Friday, October 25th, The Last Dance also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, and Peggy Lu.
