Eddie/Venom needed more development, and Sandman just didn't need to be in there. Not if they were just gonna make him someone we have to ultimately feel sorry for. We did that with the second movie. The exeution of Peter's transformation through the symbiote could have been better, as well. emo-hair, gun fingers at random women, and pelvic dancing in the streets?!?! I know I said more humor would work to SM3's advantage, but damn I couldn't be more wrong! The execution of the villains is what really hurt the film, IMO.

Like I said, any one of the three villains could carry a whole film. At best, Venom could at least turn out better than Bane in Batman & Robin. I know that's not saying much, though.

Why? • Venom is just seen in the very last 30 minutes of the movie • Raimi Venom is nothing compared with the look of the Venom in comics. One or two scenes worth it nothing else. • Venom has a very unworthy ending. We knew Sam Raimi didn’t want to include Venom in his very own movie, but his revenge against Avi Arad for the imposition, became the most important Spiderman’s foe into a second hand villain.
