Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Venom: The Last Dance (out Oct 24) is a safe sequel where Venom must defeat a nasty alien intent on destroying him… and all human life.  There’s a few funny interactions between Eddie (Tom Hardy) and the “symbiote” who lies within but when it comes to the storyline as a whole, it lacks originality. Grade: B-.
