"Venom: The Last Dance" might be pulling in terrible reviews, but fans are still dancing along! 🎉🤘

Welcome back, Venom fans! Today we dive into the wild and wacky world of "Venom: The Last Dance," where criticisms are as plentiful as the strange alien tongues we've all come to love—or at least tolerate. With a cringe-worthy score of just 37% on Rotten Tomatoes across 71 critics, you'd think the movie is a total flop. But hold your horses! This is Venom we’re talking about, and fans have a tendency to overlook a few bad reviews for the chaotic joy Tom Hardy brings to the screen. After all, how bad can something be when it involves a man and his alien sidekick throwing jabs at each other?

The anticipation for post-credits scenes in superhero films has become as expected as tea time—if you don't stick around, you're missing out! This trend snowballed thanks to the MCU, and alas, "Venom: The Last Dance" is riding that wave as well. Speculation about whether or not there’s something juicy hiding at the end has audiences buzzing almost as much as Venom’s rebel yell. It's a shame that this particular flick is being reviewed like it forgot its matinee ID, but hey, at least there's still a chance to catch some ridiculous antics after the credits roll! Tom Hardy has once again donned the dual hats of Eddie Brock and Venom, dishing out an impressive—and albeit, mildly wacky—performance. Think Jekyll and Hyde but with more goo and less dignity. Critics argue that despite Hardy's devil-may-care antics, the overall plot feels less like a polished send-off and more like a rushed scribble on a café napkin. Who knew struggling with inner demons could lead to such delightful chaos? And for three films now, audiences have been treated to Hardy's glorious blend of charm and nonsense, cementing his role as a lovable antihero in a world of superhero clichés. Fans of the franchise can’t deny the oddball buddy-cop vibe between Brock and Venom, despite the mixed reviews. This last hurrah showcases the dynamic that often yields more laughs than logical coherence. With plenty of explosions, action sequences, and a sprinkle of heartfelt moments, "Venom: The Last Dance" provides an exhilarating romp through a less-than-serious comic book adventure that defies the critics. Yeah, it's messy; yeah, it occasionally misses the mark. But for the hardcore Venomites, that's all part of its charm!

And while we might all end up in a good giggle at how messy the movie seems, interestingly, Tom Hardy has stated that he savoured the experience of playing someone who could whip a motorcycle around while also being a sentimental blob of goo. Plus, here's a little fun fact: Tom Hardy reportedly improvised many of Venom's quips, giving the character a unique personality that keeps fans intrigued, whether they think it’s brilliant or a bit bonkers. So who cares if reviews say it's bad? Sometimes, we just want an evening of simple, gooey fun!
