‘Venom 3’ – goodbye to alien monsters

The work is directed by Kelly Marcel, following the events of the second season of Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) by Sony Pictures. Reporter Eddie Brock (played by Tom Hardy) and the parasitic creature Venom are hunted down by the US government’s special task force. At the same time, Knull – the lord of the Symbiote (alien parasite) – sends the monster Xenophage to Earth to kill the two protagonists, and at the same time steal the codex – which freed him from The Void.

The film captivates viewers when it mixes dramatic and humorous situations. After the first two seasons, the screenwriter continues to explore the relationship between the alien entity and the host body, journalist Eddie Brock. They no longer argue or try to endure each other’s personalities, but are aware of the power of the villain, facing danger together. While Eddie manages to escape the police and Xenophage’s pursuit, Venom calms the tense atmosphere with jokes.

The multi-segment mining crew shows the cohesion of Eddie and the parasite. The two bonded for a long time but often quarreled over Venom’s gluttony and Eddie’s silliness. Through many situations, Venom gradually becomes an indispensable part of the protagonist’s life. When Xenophage appears, the two unite against the enemy, despite knowing that one of them will die.

The third season also reveals the appearance of many familiar creatures from the original Marvel comics such as Scream, Lasher, Agony, Phage and Toxin/Patrick Mulligan (played by Stephen Graham). They were abandoned on the planet Klyntar, but when they descended to Earth, the monsters joined forces to destroy Xenophage, even sacrificing for their fellow humans.

The personalities of the supporting characters are dug deeper. Commander Rex Strickland (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor) is rigid, determined to destroy Venom due to fear of its power. On the other hand, Dr. Teddy Payne (Juno Temple) is passionate about exploring symbiotic creatures, looking for ways to better understand them. And hippie guy Martin Moon (Rhys Ifans) and his family are passionate about the supernatural, ready to sell all their assets to explore the alien research area, and help Eddie and Venom. Time magazine assessed: “Spider-Man’s series of arch-enemies is Marvel’s most successful series because it highlights the relationship between the characters, not the fragile connection between multiverse projects.”

Playing the role of Eddie for many years, the actor Tom Hardy It is impressive when conveying the complexity of the character through physical expressions and voices. According to IndieWire, the artist referred to the speech and demeanor of many people such as boxer Conor McGregor, rapper Redman, and director Woody Allen to get inspiration for the role. In an interview with ScreenRant, Hardy expressed his desire to continue to portray Eddie if the producers make a sequel.

Besides, the role of Knull brings fear even though it appears for a short time. Actor Andy Serkis shows a cold and brutal feature with long platinum hair and a white face. The supporting cast is round-shouldered, has witty interactions and dialogues with Tom Hardy.

Due to the emphasis on entertaining moments, the script of the third part still has many shortcomings, receiving a “rotten tomato” rating with a score of 36% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. According to Variety, the plot of the work is simple, lacking novelty and surprises. “Venom movies are successful to a certain extent but never excellent. It’s a shame that a talented actor like Tom Hardy is caught up in the wheel of commercial film production,” the page wrote.

On social media X, superhero movie writer Jacob Kleinman wrote: “Venom: The Last Dance is like a patchwork movie. The project has good sections and bad sections, but it does not promote the attractiveness of the first two parts.” On movie forums, the audience thinks that in addition to the storyline about the main character, this film is merely to introduce a new villain, Knull – one of the most powerful evil gods in Marvel comics.

Appear turnover The first day of the work in North America was $22 million, much lower than Venom ($32 million) and Venom: Let There Be Carnage ($37 million). Experts predict that in the next two days, the project will not reach the original opening figure that the manufacturer expected of $65 million.

Venom first debuted in 1984 in Marvel comics. The character who appeared in Spider-Man 3 (2007), is the rival of the hero Spider-Man. In 2018, Venom took on a new look when Sony Pictures expanded the Spider-Man universe (Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, SSU). According to the statistics site Numbers, the revenue of the two parts reached more than 1.3 billion USD, which is loved by the mass audience.
