This movie seemed more like an appeal to other networks to approve an eighth season of Venture Brothers rather than a good faith story to wrap up loose ends. All in all, it was very unsatisfying and felt like Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick were making up new stuff rather having a real ending they should have had in mind since the beginning of the show.
The biggest question for me is, what is the source of the Monarch's anger and resentment with Rusty Venture? Yes, we all saw the photo taken when they were young, but that seems to be more misdirection than anything. This movie did nothing to help us understand that.
And the story of Mantilla seems like it was crowbarred in and it took up way too much time for too little payoff.
I wish I could be more generous, but seriously, this was too little too late.
