Welcome back movie goers to Popped with Venom: The Last Dance…..I hope they break a leg O.o?
I’ll give you a quick “Review” followed by a little more detailed “Review” that may go slightly into spoiler territory.
Non Spoiler Version
I wish Sony & Disney Marvel could play nice having this within the MCU. Having the second Venom film leading into the MCU to then be instantly thrown out makes this movie a huge disappointment for any kind of easter egg going forth. We’re in the Sony Universe and this is the best they have to offer :S eeek!
I had some fun with this movie but sadly there was way to much drag between good moments. Even when times got good or interesting it was short lived.
If you’re watching Venom for Sony Verse then check it out. If not, save your time and get told what happens in the cliff notes. Better yet get yourself a PS5 / PC and play Spiderman 2. Thank me later.
Without going into spoilers I’ll give this a 5/5.5 out of 10.
Average movie, disappointing and honestly probably could be skipped unless Sony can do something with their Sony verse to get this on the track.
Little Spicy/Spoiler Version
Eddie Brock accompanied by the voice of Venom (Mostly). Are back in their universe and on the run from killing the officer from Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
Sadly no easter eggs planted along the way (That I Saw) but honestly a certain element that made this movie good. Could have been totally done better and for the build up at least lasted longer.
Again, go play Spiderman 2 and you’ll thank me.
Two end scenes for this feature. Mid scene is a setup for next movie just like Let There Be Carnage did. Last scene after waiting 10minutes of credits is a gag scene probably not worth it unless you utilize the time for a bathroom break and come back.
Took an hour to pickup and then shortly lived I’d say I’m rather disappointed with a 5/10 but some of the scenes were fun giving it the .5 to almost above average at best.
Real question is, should I watch Hit Pig or wait for Here to arrive in theatres. I really hope November turns things around because October had a lot of promise and some heavy misses.
2 Months remain of 2024. How are your top 10’s forming? Does it stack alongside my list and if not. What would you drop / add? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
Thanks for checking out Popped. Blog and I’ll see you in the next batch.
