Venom: The Last Dance, the third and last part of the Venom trilogy, has achieved a new feat at the box office in China. It has surpassed Kung Fu Panda 4 to attain this. Tom Hardy reprised his role as Eddie Brock in this comic book movie, which has received mixed reactions from the critics. Scroll below for the deets.

The critic’s consensus on Rotten Tomatoes states, “The always watchable Tom Hardy injects ample charisma into Venom: The Last Dance, but the offering buckles under its convoluted tonal ambitions.” They rated the film 39% on Tomatometer, but the audience enjoyed it, as they rated it 80% on Popcornmeter.
