Venom: The Last Dance 2024
If you enjoyed the first two Venom movies, then this one is right up your alley. It channels the same chaotic energy.

This isn’t just a definitive adaptation, but a benchmark by which to judge any and all future adaptations. We have absolutely no notes.

Neither the rain nor the town are characters in this movie, they play no part in driving the narrative, and end up being nothing more than set dressing. (Which had us feeling shortchanged.) The second - and this is where the writing really fails - is that the movie lacks a point of…
