Venom: The Last Dance (2024)

 'Venom 3' is easily the best Venom movie because it cares the least. Tasked with wrapping up Tom Hardy's contract, it's like the writers room just spitballed ideas that sounded fun and strung them together with a weak plot. Wouldn't it be cool if Venom and Brock were hanging off the side of a commercial airliner? Wouldn't it be fun if they meet a hippy family? Wouldn't it be fun if they went to Vegas? How about Venom and Mrs Chen dance to an ABBA song (Dancing Queen of course). Turns out these things are kind of fun. There is no Michelle Williams this time but we do get Juno Temple, plus the final action sequence is set at Area 51. I had fun and can imagine myself watching this movie a bunch more times, which is more then I can say for the others. Still I can't exactly call the movie "good", so I'm going with **1/2
