PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace ONLY the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord! Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it! I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died. God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him. Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. I have had times where I was thinking about Holy Bible quotes and have stumbled across them flipping through The Holy Bible at random the same/next day. God is here for you if you let Him guide you. The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil". LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.", "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." and, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

Idk why but my favorite scene is when they are all singing Space Oddity. Its a strange moment where a bunch of weirdos a sharing a moment of lucidity yet its oddly wholesome. It wouldve been so funny if the movie was Veddie, the Lizard and young peter parker having a weird roadtrip movie.

[@windandfireproductions5358]

"Veddie"

[@poloecrazie]

Every CBM movies, from MCU to DC, even when Peter asking Tony Stark is he going to be okay as he's disintegrated into nothing, somehow doesn't even close to match the emotion that the van scene carries. Seeing Venom singing tenderly as both Eddie and him serenely hoping that they can continue being together is why cinema exists. It justifies the nonsense plot about Knull.

[@superadambomb5834]

That scene is my favorite moment in the whole trilogy. When it comes to movies for me it’s only truly terrible if it made me feel nothing. But this movie made me feel so many emotions. Happiness, sadness, even nostalgia. And that van scene is the moment where I just couldn’t help but smile. Sure the movie is a dumb stupid mess but it’s a dumb stupid mess with a heart

[@poloecrazie]

@@superadambomb5834 This is why it frustrated me when people say Marvel should handle Venom. Yeah, man.

The camera spends so much time focusing on her and her reactions, and she does nothing.

[@matthewpelletier6900]

For what it's worth, the 50 Shades movie that she worked on is ALMOST decent. By all accounts, the author was a big problem on set. She wouldn't allow most of the changes that the writers were proposing and was apparently just a general nightmare to work with. If she hadn't been as involved, or at least not had as much control as she did, maybe the movie would have been okay. I recommend checking out Folding Ideas trilogy of videos 'A Lukewarm Defence of Fifty Shades of Grey'. He does a great job breaking down the movies and some of the BTS shenanigans that went on, and he's just generally really entertaining.

On point. My biggest problem was Eddie/Venom feeling like side characters in their own finale. I loved LTBC, so it’s sad that movie feels more like a proper conclusion to their story than this.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

#IBlameAviArad

I agree so much. I genuinely love LTBC and find it interesting in many ways. The 1st Venom was lovely and fun as well. But watching Last Dance, me and my Venom loving best friend turned to each other during the movie and was like "???? This feels like a movie Eddie and Venom just so haopen to be in." It was very disappointing. And was even worse for me cause I just rewatched the 2nd movie the day before... It just couldn't compare.

[@garyking1986]

Honestly, the closest this film got for me to some sort of emotional throughline is Eddie wanting a normal life. The Space Oddity scene, as weird and wild as it is, was the only moment I felt the story work for me. Eddie keeps telling himself that if it weren’t for the symbiote then he’d be living a normal life, but here he is surrounded by people who unashamedly love one another and he is the one unwilling to connect and enjoy the moment. Even Venom is wanting to sing along and celebrate the company, but Eddie simply can’t. He messed up his own life before Venom came along and needs to reconcile with that in order to move on. He’s a screw up afraid of commitment, and maybe showing us what his life without the symbiote is like would’ve brought his arc to a satisfying conclusion.

[@Jes417]

That was my favourite scene as well, despite how weird it was. Would have loved a road trip movie that truly explored Eddie and Venom's relationship and all of the repercussions (both good and bad) of them being together. But alas, the movieverse Venom ends on the beach in LTBC for me 😔

Whether you enjoyed it or not, at least we all can agree that Sony had enough common sense to end the trilogy and isn't going to continue making half-baked Venom movies for the next 50 years and completely ruin the ip unlike some other franchises.

[@Jose-se9pu]

Only reason they are stopping is because each movie is making less than the one before, and Tom Hardy is the reason why these movies even exist...and besides him "retiring", reality is, he is already too old for this, and he is...surprisingly out of shape, I could understand him having some overweight in Venom 2 because he was shooting the Al Capone movie at the same time, but I was suprised to see he still didnt put any effort to play Eddie here...I think, despite how much he likes the character, he just stopped caring about these movies.

[@everettenjeze6276]

Honestly Tom hardy did his thing as Eddie and venom and portraying the relationship of two “losers” who become brothers/lovers/best friends. Tom hardy understood what made people love these characters and did his absolute best with the terrible material. I wish he had full control and was able to make as violent as he originally wanted and got writers who knew how to write a proper story. Eddie and Venom will be remembered forever as brotherly duo, but the stories will sadly not be remembered. Such a bitter sweet disappointment because it had so much potential to be amazing. Tom hardy truly single handedly carried the venom franchise to box office success despite the terrible stories.

I don't get how it's even possible to put Venom LTBC in the same status as the first Venom. That second movie was so rushed and shorthanded it sent the franchsie into this downward spiral. In the first movie Venom was threatening and the relationship between them was complicated yet real. They then took that idea and completely tarnished it in the second movie by turning Venom (a cold killing alien) into a "loveable" dancing mascot as if he was a child even though he has YEARD of experience. That second movie ruined both Venom and Carnage. Andy is a great actor, but he should never direct a movie like that again. It's not even close to what was a better structured film.

[@Jose-se9pu]

The second movie was EXACTLY what they were going for; a really stupid romantic comedy starring Tom Hardy and Tom Hardy. The issues were probably because it was shot during the pandemic, which resulted in a lot of rushed elements...plus, you got something right, that is them ruining Carnage. Why did they introduce Carnage in Venom 2 instead of 3? why did they killed him in the same movie? my guess is that Sony was 100% certain that after NWH, the Mouse would FINALLY let Eddie play in the MCU, so Venom 3 would FINALLY have Venom meet Spiderman...but nope, the Mouse didnt budge, so they ended up with their dicks on their hands; they had to make a third movie after wasting the Life Foundation and Carnage, AND without being able to use Spiderman...the result? well, what we got. Plus, with every other SMU movie bombing at the BO, they couldnt even exploit the novelty of having a crossover between Venom and Morbius, Madame Web, or Kraven...they LITERALLY had nothing to work with, so, again, the result is what we got; NOTHING.

[@braydenkeel2230]

They should've set something up with spider-man in this film, specifically Andrew's since his Sony spidey fits perfectly in the Sony villain universe. I would've accepted that the characters just so happened to never reference him. Unless they somehow got a good writer and director to make a venom film with substance, I dont think Tom hardy's venom can hold up a solo film. Having Andrew there to bounce off of and have a small arc with would've filled Sony's pockets. Which is their only motivation for these films. Dont understand.

You haven’t seen thousands of movies, I actively look at your letterboxd… I’m a big fan, love your work! This was one of the most forgettable trilogies for me. I will say that I liked this one the most though

[@b0y_X_22]

love ya HiTop, Cant wait for Jason

[@KingDavid00]

I hope your doing well HiTop!!!

[@HiTopFilms]

Thanks David!

[@KingDavid00]

@ take your time on the Jason film too film making ain’t a job you wanna rush I’ll just be glad to watch it once it’s dropped

[@ciaranmurren]

49% second weekend drop? $300 global box office million after ten days? On a $120 mil budget? Sounds like they're doing well

[@TOM-ro7rt]

hes just a grifter, he legit said he doesnt like venoms character

[@Jose-se9pu]

They are doing pretty well considering the current stage of the genre. Here is the problem; these movies are getting more and more expensive, while they are making less and less money with every new entry. We are NOT getting a Venom 4.

[@otterzrkuhl]

Idk man this trilogy was a 3 for 3 imo

[@awwen_lopez]

Fun Fact: Eddie progressively looks like shit in the span of these three movies

[@victoria_lord_cringe]

Tom also once posted there were doing reshoots/changes to some scenes so :(

[@blockayethe2nd220]

I absolutely loved the first 2 venom movies and even with all the negative stuff i saw about the 3rd I still went in with an open mind. Somehow I found myself completely baffled by the end of it.

[@BAMStudios]

I liked this video, however the one thing I need to perpetuate is, ANDREW GARFIELD SHOULD NOT be SONYVERSE Spider-Man. Most people think Tobey or Tom are the best, I would rather NOT drag Andrew Garfield down with other destined to be bomb shitty movies. I'd rather they make TASM 3 with the intention to make it good and leave it like that and have him do Spider-Verse cameos

[@techmast6920]

Holy shit, this video turned wild out of nowhere! Love it!

[@somerandolad]

You would have to be a little buzzed to get through it.

[@Jose-se9pu]

I remember when this was announced, my first though was "if Spiderman isnt it, they shouldnt make it" (and I dont mean MCU Spiderman, fuck MCU Spiderman)...yet, they made it. A whole Venom trilogy went by without a single reference to Spiderman, without Venom even allowed to use HIS symbol. A shame for Tom Hardy, considering how much input he had in these movies, is hard to believe he allowed this to happen...but I think they had to kill this iteration of Venom, and start hyping Knull because Sony more than likely finally gave up, and now everything related to Spiderman will be set in the MCU, which includes, of course, the symbiote, but similar to how the Deadpool franchise started after Hugh Jackman retired, the symbiote saga will behind after Tom Hardy's retirement...until they bring him back for some cheap nostalgia-bait 10 years from now.

[@joeyvallejos1796]

I basically felt the same after watching Venom the last dance and which it were something else or probably just a better end to this trilogy as Venom and Eddie bromance is what carried this trilogy for me and I wished I could’ve enjoyed it more but liked most of it for what it was

[@jonesy279]

If you told kid me, back in the 90’s, that there were going to be 3 Venom movies and that I’d be wholly uninterested in them, there’s no way I’d believe you. Sony continues to botch the easy money machine they have.

[@cazbrown3782]

hold up.. has alex seen succession?

[@ryujinzengen6053]

I have this theory that the Sony comics films (Im thinking Venom 3, Morbius & Madame Web in this case) were made with old scripts and either they injected the comics characters in them after having the drafts ready, or had them ready for a long time, but the films do feel like they arent really fitting in the 2020s. The kind of humor, the way the dialogue sounds, all that feels dated somehow (in ways that dont feel as meta or cynical the way you'd see in more contemporary films or tv shows in the later years). Even in Venom 3 which is supposed to be taking place in the current day, not a character uses a cellphone ever when some silliness happens or anything that you know real people would otherwise record instantly. The only thing that indicates it's the current day is a character mentions a podcast, and another one uses an ipad. I'm not sure if you see what you mean, but Brock learning about things through the TV News, having a room of computers tracking him through security cameras, all these elements dont really feel like that is 2024. Madame Web litteraly takes place in the 90s and has that ''computer algorithm than can follow the characters via cameras'' which is also dated somehow. That and the jarring backstory & exposition sequences just feel like they're from mid-2000s films.

[@theredeft5319]

I love that you went to the effort of filming stuff physically for this review And I liked this movie, but yeah it’s no where near as good as the last two for exactly the reasons you gave. I do really wonder if the Peter Parker thing is true, that’s crazy if they redid the whole thing

[@HiTopFilms]

Thanks dude! I love having the extra time to go nuts and film whack insane stupid gags.

[@motherplayer]

The short of it is that the studio knew these require little effort turn a profit because the international audiences eat this stuff up and will justify doing more, and that's all the studio cares about, so the "What happened" about it doesn't matter anymore. The long of it is that these movies were only mildly good at doing what they were doing and the bad of the effort sticks out a lot more, some seeing it as some campy throwback to the era of superhero films thrown to the wall to see what sticks and others just think it's plain lackluster writing and action entirely saved by a singular central performance, and that's the "What Happened" of it.

[@Judahmhughes]

I’d we get this video to soar, we will get the Jason test screening!!!

[@HiTopFilms]

True, but the odds are not looking too high.

[@Judahmhughes]

@@HiTopFilms dang it….
