‘Venom: The Last Dance’ Review: Tom Hardy and His Alien Entity Go Full Buddy Movie in a Finale That Shoots the Works, Because Why Not?
The alien gets the good lines, and Tom Hardy completes his mumblemouth Bowery Boy peformance, in a sequel that's as fun, and rote, as the others.
“ Venom: The Last Dance ” is the third and final entry in the Marvel movie series about a helmet-headed alien with scary teeth and Gene Simmons’ tongue who fuses with a mumbly overpaid Method actor. To ensure that this happens, Knull dispatches a fast-moving giant spindly creature (head of a demonic soft-shell crab, multiple legs and tails) that looks like it got lost on the way back from a “Starship Troopers” sequel. And maybe that’s why Tom Hardy, from the first “Venom” on, has chosen to offset the uncoolness of doing a comic-book franchise by putting his slumming in quotation marks, playing Eddie as a borderline doofus who talks like a grown-up version of one of the Bowery Boys.
