Venom: Let There Be Carnageis the weakest entry in theVenomtrilogy.
Yet, despite the high expectations,the film failed to deliver a satisfying villain arc.
WhereVenom 2did succeed was in exploring the odd-couple relationship between Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote.
Venommay feel slightly underdeveloped, especially when compared to superhero origin stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Still, it had entertaining action sequences and a few memorable moments that depicted Venom’s unique powers.
With a solid but unspectacular story,Venomprovided enough intrigue to pave the way for sequels.
Overall,Venomproved Sonys gamble on a standalone Venom movie was worthwhile.
Their partnership finally felt complete, with both characters embracing their respective roles as an anti-hero team.
This installment gave Venom a more defined personality, striking the perfect balance between chaotic menace and reluctant hero.
What setThe Last Danceapart was its emotionally charged narrative.
Eddie and Venom face a formidable enemy in Knull and the Xenophages.
This selflessness added depth to Venoms character, showing just how far hed come since the first film.

Its only a shame that Sony didnt crack this formula sooner.
Venom is an action sci-fi movie that stars Tom Hardy as the titular Marvel anti-hero.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage, directed by Andy Serkis, follows Eddie Brock, portrayed by Tom Hardy, as he struggles to coexist with the alien symbiote Venom. The film introduces the antagonist Cletus Kasady, a serial killer transformed into the menacing Carnage after becoming host to an alien symbiote.
