Venom 3: The Last Dance surprises with its 3D quality, especially since darkly lit movies often struggle with this format. However, Last Dance defies expectations and offers a visually engaging 3D experience. The presentation is unexpectedly sharp, even in dimly lit scenes, allowing viewers to appreciate the full detail and atmosphere of the Venom universe.

One of the standout sequences occurs underwater, where the 3D truly shines with countless bubbles. Depth and layers of 3D are handled with a level of vibrancy that brings the scene to life, immersing viewers in an almost tactile experience. In moments like these, the 3D enhances the intensity, pulling the audience deeper into the film’s environment. The effect could have been utilized even more, however, as there are some points where the 3D remains subtle (Too subtle). One early sequence set in Mexico (with the dogs) looked phenomenal in 3D. Sadly this sequence flies by in a few seconds.3D depth is handled well in a few key moments (waterfall and elevator scenes).

The movie also has plenty of fun pop-out moments with the various venom appendages. Various sequences with close ups of monster mouths look especially good in 3D. While not every scene uses 3D to its fullest potential, the overall experience is well-executed. This is especially notable for fans who enjoy a mix of dramatic depth and lighthearted pop-out effects.

All things considered, Venom 3: The Last Dance delivers a solid 3D presentation that complements the action and playful tone of the movie. Obviously your experience may vary so try to find the best quality, brightest theater that you can.

Final Verdict: 7/10


Movie

The third installment of Venom’s story, Venom 3: The Last Dance, takes a different approach compared to its predecessors, opting for a more straightforward narrative. This streamlined story works to the film’s benefit, especially given the overly complex romantic drama that weighed down previous entries. By focusing on action, comedy, and straightforward storytelling, Last Dance manages to keep audiences engaged from start to finish.

One of the biggest strengths of this film is its sense of humor. The comedy lands well and leans into a ludicrous, almost absurd tone that’s genuinely hilarious (many belly laughs). Tom Hardy nails this final performance as both Eddie Brock and Venom. Whether it’s Venom’s bizarre banter or ridiculous moments that seem to embrace the character’s chaotic energy, the laughs are well-earned and frequent. The action sequences are abundant, keeping the film moving at a brisk pace with hardly a dull moment in sight.

However, the film isn’t without its flaws. There are several plot holes and contrived moments that are noticeable. I accurately predicted many plot points in this movie. Despite being a part of Sony’s larger Marvel universe, Venom 3 doesn’t connect to other Sony films, which may be disappointing for those hoping for a crossover or continuation from past movies.

Visually, the movie is well-shot, with crisp, appealing cinematography that captures the gritty charm of Venom’s world. The character development is basic, with some characters feeling more like plot devices than fully fleshed-out individuals. This includes the villain, who, while true to the comics, doesn’t offer much depth. The music choices are both fun and a bit on-the-nose, matching the film’s tone.

Ultimately, Venom: The Last Dance is an enjoyable, fun finale that emphasizes action over story. It might not tie up every loose end or deliver a deep narrative, but it provides a satisfying and entertaining experience for fans of the character. The Venom movie franchise ends on a satisfying high note. Venom: Last Dance is easily the best Venom movie in the trilogy.

Final Verdict: 7/10

Spider-Man No Way Home 3D Movie Review

Spider-Man No Way Home

3D Movie Review

Written By:  Jacob “ New Jake” Scarberry


3D

I had high expectations for the 3D aspect of Spider-Man No Way Home. Sadly, this movie didn't deliver the marvelous 3D that I was hoping for. While filled to the brim with depth, there are some missed opportunities for the 3D to really pop out. I believe that the way the film was lit and shot contributed to the less than spectacular 3D. Several scenes are shot indoors with handheld cameras and those confined scenes really muted the 3D. Along with a more subdued color palette the 3D in this movie just pales in comparison to the 3D in previous Spider-Man films in the series. That being said, when there are pop-outs, they do wow the audience fully. Spider-Man No Way Home should of had more of those awesome pop out 3D moments. The 3D highlights include: the Dr. Strange/Spider-Man mirror dimension battle, an action scene in a condo, the highway battle, and finally the terrific credits sequence with the hand drawn art style. Overall I can recommend the 3D aspect of Spider-Man No Way Home, but I just wish that it was stronger. 

Final Verdict: Good 3D

Editor's Note:

As of this writing, I have yet to watch the following Disney Plus TV shows: Loki, What If ?, and Hawkeye. I just thought that people should know this before I go into this spoiler free review of Spider-Man No Way Home.

Spider-Man No Way Home literally picks up from the end of the previous film (Far From Home). The film starts with Spider-Man's secret identity being outed by J. Jonah Jameson via a recorded video from Mysterio. Peter Parker's life has become even more complicated now that everyone knows that he is Spider-Man. Peter Parker is hounded by everyone. Peter Parker just wants his life to go back to how it was before that damning video. Peter visits Doctor Strange as a last resort to fix everything. Dr. Strange uses his power and some ancient runes, to cast a spell, to make everyone forget that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Unfortunately, the spell is unstable, and trouble brews for Spider-Man when Dr. Otto Octavius has arrives from another universe, confused as to why the Peter Parker isn't the Peter Parker that he knows. More trouble brews when more and more villains from other universes arrive, and they are all ready to get revenge on Spider-Man. Now Spider-Man must use his unique skill set, along with the help of Dr. Strange, MJ and Ned, to set things right and save the world as he knows it.

Expectations were high for Spider-Man No Way Home after the fairly shocking ending of Far From Home. The hype for this movie skyrocketed after hundreds of millions viewed the first trailer for this movie, and they were shocked with the introduction of the multiverse into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the consequences that would ensue. The possibilities were truly endless. Could the expectations ever truly be met, or are the goals too lofty for this film to be realistically met? I am happy to state that Spider-Man No Way Home delivers.  I am truly at a fever pitch of fan excitement of what will happen next in the Marvel cinematic universe. The cast of No Way Home is truly fantastic. Holland is exceeding his performances of the previous Home films, giving us a darker and deeper Peter Parker than we ever had gotten before. Zendaya also shines as MJ, also keeping the same wit and sarcasm as before, but also layered with anxieties of her world falling apart. Alfred Molina's Doc Ock hasn't skipped a beat, nor has Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn. Even the "lesser" villains from other Spider-Man films are given their dues and deliver some good work. Jon Watts also directs this film with a deft hand, capable of mixing up the heroics of Spider-Man, along with the humor within this trilogy and the dramatic heft. While not as stylish as Sam Raimi's takes, or as serious and dark as Webb's films were, Watts makes the trilogy his own, giving us the best Spidey live-action movies, ever. The screenplay is also unafraid with it's ideas and themes, and it goes to some dark and interesting places. It's unfortunate that several characters are given the short end of the stick. While the film clocks in at 148 minutes, I wish the film was even longer to accommodate the other villains and help the film flesh out other story beats. I hope there is gonna be an extended cut of this movie on Blu-Ray, or some deleted scenes to give us a more complete version of this story. Everything else, with the fantastic CGI (That de-aging is on point!), quality score by Michael Giacchino, great sets and costumes and some terrific sound design, make this world feel more alive and it screams "big budget blockbuster". The Marvel Cinematic Universe has another great Spider-Man film in No Way Home . 

 

Overall, Spider-Man No Way Home met and at points exceeded my high expectations. This is a fun and emotional journey that delivered on what it promised, and while it isn't the best Spider-Man film in my opinion (Into the SpiderVerse is truly outstanding, and Homecoming is just a joyous great time), this will be a legendary film in the grand scheme of comic book cinema, and it will be talked about for years to come. 

Final Verdict: 8/10
