'Venom': where to watch the complete saga online?

Sony's first movie intended to create a "Spiderverse" populated by characters based on Spider-Man comics, although the Wall-Crawler, now in the creative hands of Marvel Studios, can't appear. The film is based on the 1990s comic book antihero Venom, and stars Tom Hardy ("Mad Max: Fury Road") and Michelle Williams ("Manchester by the Sea") in the lead roles. The story blends elements of action, horror, sci-fi, and bits of humor, all aimed at the teenage demographic or those looking for mindless entertainment without being concerned about the story too much.

"Venom: Let There Be Carnage" is almost literally the cinematic version of the comic book stories of the character, mainly from the 1990s. There is all the non-sense humor, anarchy and exaggeration that characterized the comics of that time. All this done in an extremely conscious way by director Andy Serkis (yes, himself, Gollum from 'Lord of the Rings' - in his fourth feature film in the role) and by screenwriters Kelly Marcel and Tom Hardy (exactly, the star of the story). The result of this is a kind of mixture of 'Deadpool' with comedy horror, with a script that has practically the same structure as the Spider-Man films signed by Sam Raimi. The antagonist of the adventure, Carnage, is played by Woody Harrelson ('Zombieland'), who also seeks in humor the touch of irreverence to live the serial killer. Maybe there is a lack of more graphic violence (the original rating is PG-13, against R, which requires minors under 17 to watch accompanied by parents, of Mercenary Tagarela) and just a more elaborate script. Still, with about 97 minutes, it delivers quickly and directly the entertainment it proposes.

The Venom film saga is a curious beast, as it developed its version of Eddie Brock independently of Spider-Man, a character whose identity is inseparable in the comics. This is largely thanks to Tom Hardy's charisma as the lead, and in Venom: The Last Dance, it's no exception. The film puts the anti-hero on his biggest mission yet, with Knull, the creator of all symbiotic aliens, launching an invasion against Earth. It serves as a coherent conclusion to the trilogy, though it must be said that if you didn’t enjoy the previous installments, there’s nothing new or better here. However, if you've enjoyed this journey with Tom Hardy, you'll undoubtedly have fun.

In two decades of cinema and six more in comics, Spider-Man has earned a place of prominence in the popular imagination. By now, several generations have been impacted by this extremely relatable character - after all, we have all smiled, cried, lost someone and delayed bills. 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' is, in many ways, the apex of this journey. After the events of 'Spider-Man: Far From Home', Peter Parker (Tom Holland) seeks the help of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to make everyone forget that he is the Friendly Neighborhood. However, the spell goes wrong, bringing to the Marvel Cinematic Universe some of the villains faced by previous incarnations of the hero on the big screen, played by actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. From there, a story is built about second chances and faith in people, extremely important themes in a world with so many divisions and lack of trust like the one we live in today. Highlight for the impeccable performances of Alfred Molina (who returns as Doctor Octopus) and Willem Dafoe (who once again steals the show with his Green Goblin). In the direction, Jon Watts follows the same line of the hero's previous films, but adds here and there elements of the filmmakers who came before - especially Sam Raimi, responsible for the first 'Spider-Man' trilogy. Adding all this up, we have an extremely nostalgic, fun movie, with great action scenes, which closes cycles and opens doors for the Wall Crawler to continue being the favorite hero of the generations to come.

The third and final part of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. However, the production was marked by conflicts between the director and Avi Arad, who was the producer. All this is evident in the final result: an excess of villains, lack of focus in the script and a Peter Parker who, besides not evolving as a character, brings us some embarrassing scenes. Still, 'Spider-Man 3' contributes with good action scenes, all with great direction.
