‘Venom: The Last Dance’ is getting ready for its worldwide release this Friday. This third movie will be the last in the franchise, and Tom Hardy has confirmed he is finished with the role.
The film is expected to hint at some key plot points, especially the character Knull. Although Knull isn’t the main villain in this movie and will likely only appear in a few scenes, the director has suggested that there could be a bigger role for him in the future.
Recently, we covered the first social media reactions to the movie. The early pre-views left the critics with a somewhat mixed impression. According to the early reactions the movie is fun, but suffers from the same problems that the first two installments suffered from.
The review embargo has been lifted since then and based on 68 reviews, ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ currently stands at “Rotten.” The movie currently stands at a 38% approval rate, which is not good at all. Keep in mind that the audience score won’t be available until Friday.
The situation is not looking better over at IMDb, based on 1.2K ratings, the movie currently holds a 6.3 rating. This is not all that surprising, but Knull’s appearance in the movie was supposed to raise it to another level. Perhaps some of the hype was diminished due to Marcel’s recent comments that fans are going to have to wait a while before seeing Knull’s story unfold.
Here are some of the reviews:
Too moronic for it to earn the emotional weight it clearly wants to project.
Peter Gray – The AU Review
Tom Hardy’s batshit crazy dual performance keeps being the bright spot of the franchise. The rest? Leaves much to be desired for a finale – Knull included. [Full review in Spanish]
Fico Cangiano – CineXpres
An asinine, exhausting and tedious mess with choppy editing and not nearly enough laughs or thrills.
Avi Offer – NYC Guru
… an overstuffed yet somehow stunningly simplistic flick that feels more like an excuse to execute stupid but cool ideas …
Anthony O’Connor – FILMINK Australia
I kept rooting for the surprisingly lifeless “The Last Dance” to pull way back on its save-the-world plot (and its CGI) and lean more into its most potent effect: Hardy’s split-personality double act.
Jake Coyle – Associated Press
When it leans hard into the inherent absurdity of its wacky, mismatched buddy antics, “Venom: The Last Dance” can be a total blast. Unfortunately, that doesn’t happen nearly as often as it should.

This pattern repeats across almost all reviews. Yikes.
