Venom: The Last Dance

As the franchise's dismal conclusion, this film lacks the intensity and emotional impact of its predecessors. Important plotlines remain unsolved, and the attempts to combine dark comedy and action feel hurried and undercooked. There is no emotional conclusion or closure since Mulligan's character, who is supposed to exact revenge on Brock, is underutilized. Overall, rather than ending on a positive note, the film falters.
