Our review of Venom: The Last Dance:

Venom: The Last Dance ventures into territories as unexpected as the notorious Area 51 to deliver a finale that lives up to fans' expectations. With Tom Hardy in the iconic role of Eddie Brock and his Venom symbiote, this third opus transforms the relationship between the duo into a jubilant spectacle that takes the form of a road trip through impressive settings. Directed with frenetic energy, the film relies on a mix of unbridled humor and unbridled action, particularly in its sequences with symbiotic creatures and its daring underwater scenes. Does this final dance for Venom manage to captivate as well as surprise, or does it suffer from a script that's a little too light? Let's delve into this conclusion to the saga, where laughter and explosions reign supreme.

The primary strength of Venom: The Last Dance lies in its no-holds-barred tone and frenetic pace. Departing from the conventions of the classic superhero movie, the film favors a " guilty pleasure " style that fully assumes its exuberant side. The dialogue between Eddie and Venom is as incisive as ever, adding a touch of often absurd but always delightful comedy. The dynamic between the two protagonists, who are both partners in crime and brothers-in-crime, reaches its peak here, exploiting the duo's comic potential to relentlessly amuse the viewer. The soundtrack is as eclectic as it is surprising, mixing rap, disco, pop and rock, with iconic tracks such as David Bowie's"Space Oddity" and ABBA's"Dancing Queen" reinforcing the film's offbeat character.

One of the highlights is the scene in which Eddie and a family of alien hunters sing"Space Oddity" in a van. This touchingly sincere scene, which plays as much on nostalgia as on derision, is one of the rare moments when the film takes the time to slow down, offering an emotional pause and a memorable interlude in this frenetic adventure.

The main attraction of this conclusion also lies in the action scenes, which feature battles between symbiotes and varied environments. The staging stands out for its inventive use of scenery, particularly during sequences set in desert military bases or underwater. This visual dynamism is undoubtedly one of the film's strengths, and will delight thrill-seeking viewers.

However, Venom: The Last Dance lacks narrative depth, particularly when it comes to the main antagonist, Knull, the symbiont god. Introduced as a formidable threat, he ultimately remains in the background, limited to sporadic appearances that fail to make a lasting impression. This choice of treatment weakens the overall impact of the plot, reducing adversity to a mere obstacle, rather than offering a genuine confrontation between Venom and a rival worthy of the name.

Beyond its entertainment and visual strengths, the film seems to deliberately avoid complexity. Its light script may disappoint fans of more fleshed-out narratives, as the plot sometimes unfolds at the expense of coherence to serve the spectacle. Yet this simplified structure doesn't necessarily dampen the appreciation of fans, who find here all the elements they appreciate in this saga. The film takes full advantage of the attachment that audiences have developed for Eddie and Venom, making their relationship the real heart of the story.

Venom: The Last Dance is a film that, while imperfect, assumes its status as pure entertainment, not seeking to deliver a complex narrative, but to offer an explosive final lap. Relying on humor, spectacular action scenes and a multi-influenced soundtrack, this finale succeeds in delighting fans of the genre. Although it suffers from certain weaknesses, notably an under-exploited antagonist, it succeeds in concluding the trilogy on a high note, combining laughter, emotion and a hint of chaos.
