Film 
Venom: The Last Dance continues the chaotic saga of Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and his symbiote counterpart, Venom. While it doesn’t break new ground in the series, it delivers the high-energy action and humor fans love. If you’re a fan of the previous films or just in the mood for an action-packed ride, this movie provides plenty of thrills.
The film’s standout feature is the chemistry between Eddie and Venom. Tom Hardy returns as Eddie and voices Venom, creating a dynamic filled with humor and chaos. Their bickering, dysfunctional relationship remains a highlight, adding both comedy and action as they navigate their wild, unpredictable journey.
The introduction of a new villain is dramatic and theatrical, but the film doesn’t spend too much time on backstory. Instead, Venom: The Last Dance keeps the pace fast and the action intense. The special effects, particularly Venom’s transformations and fight sequences, are top-tier, keeping the focus on spectacle rather than deep storytelling.
While the movie has some pacing issues—sometimes feeling rushed between scenes—it’s clear that fans are more here for the action than a character-driven plot. If you’re looking for a deeper emotional exploration of Eddie, you might be disappointed. But for those craving excitement and humor, the film delivers in spades.
In the end, Venom: The Last Dance is exactly what fans of the franchise want: a fun, wild ride full of action and laughs. Tom Hardy’s performance anchors the film, and while it’s not a life-changing experience, it’s entertaining from start to finish. If you’ve enjoyed the previous films, this one won’t disappoint—sit back and enjoy the symbiote chaos.

Summary
Whereas I enjoyed the first Venom film (Brandon Peters Blu-ray review HERE) and loathed Let There Be Carnage. I felt that Last Dance wrapped up Venom and Eddie’s story arc in a nice and sloppy bow. The 4K UHD Blu-ray has great video and audio specs. The special features and amazing steelbook design wrap up the the overall package quite nicely. Will we see the big guy ever again? Never say never on this one. Venom: The Last Dance is recommended!
