Especially after Deadpool & Wolverine, the way The Last Dance basically gives the multiverse the middle finger is kind of refreshing and makes it feel like Sony and Marcel — who also wrote the first two Venom films — are trying to stay in a very specific lane, similar to Madame Web ’s.

Venom: The Last Dance currently has a very poor 37% on Rotten Tomatoes across 71 critics. Very, very bad. But…this is Venom. And people love Venom,

The third and seemingly final entry in Sony and Tom Hardy's Venom franchise never matches its admirable aims, but turns out fine anyway.

Venom: The Last Dance isn’t a hit with critics. The last movie in Tom Hardy’s Venom trilogy is currently one of the lowest-scoring superhero films of the year. Right now, Venom: The Last Dance has just 38% on Rotten Tomatoes after 68 reviews,

It’s not a high bar – and yet, it’s still one that director Kelly Marcel’s Venom: The Last Dance manages to limbo beneath. Expectations should not be excessive going into the film; the ineptitude of Andy Serkis’ Venom: Let There Be Carnage following Ruben Fleischer’s Venom taught that particular lesson (not to mention Sony’s baffling and dreadful other efforts at expanding its Spider-Man Minus Spider-Man franchise).
