Despite dismal reviews, Venom: The Last Dance proves that some love stories never fade, even when they teeter on the edge of cheese! 🧀💕

As the lights dimmed for the latest installment of the Venom saga, fans were both excited and anxious about what awaited them in ‘Venom: The Last Dance.’ Unfortunately, critics have reacted with a wave of disappointment, with the film garnering a mere 37% on Rotten Tomatoes from 71 reviewers. Yes, it's not great, but as we well know, the love for our slimy, sharp-toothed antihero runs deep. Venom might be receiving poor ratings, but his loyal fans are still ready to embrace everything he stands for: chaos, carnage, and a sprinkling of light-hearted cheesiness.

In this third chapter, Tom Hardy returns to his beloved role as Eddie Brock, uniting with his alien counterpart once more. Critics have noted that Hardy's performance is a real rollercoaster ride, showcasing his unique ability to embody both character and symbiote in an entertainingly eccentric way. The reviews may not paint a pretty picture, but the undeniable chemistry between Hardy and his character keeps fans engaged in a darkly humorous narrative. Leap into the film’s ridiculous plot twists, and it becomes clear that seriousness was never on the agenda—this is a love story between a man and his crazy alien companion!

Notably, director Kelly Marcel has worked to evoke the bittersweet emotions of loss amid the messiness of this franchise. Many wondered how the film could balance its slapstick tone with the fundamental theme of a character possibly bidding adieu. But, as fans chant “Let there be carnage,” it seems the filmmakers went all in, framing Venom’s journey with a warm send-off that leaves the viewers both chuckling and contemplative. Some may conclude that it’s a bizarre love story of alien proportions; after all, who can resist the charms of a character that wears its cheesiness on its sleeve?

Despite the mixed reviews sinking in, should we dare to announce the last dance, the true charm of ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ lies within the hearts of those who adore him. While many await post-credit scenes that reflect Marvel traditions, Tom Hardy, with a twinkle in his eye, expresses his anticipation of parting with Venom. He admits he’s going to miss the oddball character who injected a hint of chaos into the realm of superheroes. Turns out, even superheroes have feelings! Fans will surely find solace in these offbeat adventures together, catching snippets of what made the series entertaining all along.

Did you know that the first Venom movie in 2018 grossed over $850 million worldwide? It manages to break multiple box office records, solidifying its status as a “franchise that won’t quit.” Also, it’s worth mentioning that Hardy's dedication toward his role saw him training extensively to capture the exact ‘symbiote’ experience. Whether ‘Venom: The Last Dance’ feels like a final bow or a willing wiggle, it’s merely another chapter in the book of strange yet endearing superhero tales that have captivated audiences everywhere!

All we can say is, raise a toast to the man and his alien partner!
