Trial By Trailer: Venom’s ability to mine levels below rock bottom is impressive. Back on November 9, 2023 reporting said Tom Hardy confirmed in June 2022 that the script for Venom 3 was complete.
Trust me…it’s not complete. And I was not shockingly…right:
This has been awful Marvel franchise birthed by the studio that approved a corny Peter Parker dancing to show he’s breaking bad. I was already in a…Skip the trailer, I’m 100% Out mood.
And now Venom is dancing! So what that’s a crappy call back to Tobey’s inferior Spider-Man 3 where he Venom-danced and fired finger-guns?
They also did the “we need to work on that!” superhero comedy bit. Who wrote this junk?!
Assumption Before Consumption. Always.
That’s the safest route. Protect your time, protect your attention and protect your cash.
We have no obligation to give any crap filmmakers “a chance.” It don’t matter if it’s new Ghostbusters or Madame Web or Venom or whatever. Don’t make suck.
I saw the first Venom. Didn’t bother watching the the second one. Even on streaming. (While I wisely skipped Venom 2 entirely I disappointingly watched Morbius on Netflix. I gave Sony Spider-Man movies encouragement too. Blood is on my hands…this is how we got to a third Venom movie!)
As this is called The Last Dance…how are they gonna end it?
Is Venom gonna be in the MCU proper…maybe in Thunderbolts, perhaps?
Maybe the MCU Venom will be a different host? A different host would be compelling.
Though, Tobey’s Spider-Man 3 kinda ruined it with their half-baked Venom.
Let’s see what the post-credits scene in the third Venom movie offers.
Sammy Verdict: Still 100% Out. Hardest Pass.
