What if the Venom costume consumed you, Bas? What would you do?

Spiderman dies.

Well I just saw the movie, and felt that overall it was good. Not great, or awesome, but good. A solid B in my opinion.

When it comes to nit picking the film, I can honestly agree with most everyone.

The intro to characters was waaay to simple and rushed. No character development what so ever. The symbiote was just there all of a sudden. Flynt just became Sandman like that. Symbiote Peter could have been darker. UGhh

Harry'samnesia was completely unecessary.

And most of the fight scenes with harry and Sandman were so fast paced, that you really couldnt tell what was going on, till it slowed down a bit. There was a lot of blurr.

Venom, christ, I was glad to see him. But it was not enough. I say he looked good in shots where he was screaming. But during diologue, horrendous. And when ever it came to a close up, the symbio receeded on his face. As if the animators knew it would look bad to have a close up of his full face.

One thing though, the last battle was pretty epic. No real complaints there.

And the end, Im in complete agreement with everyone. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

How the hell do you bring a character like Venom to film, and kill him?!! Can anyone explain this? The idea is fucking asinine! The limited screen time was painful enough. And they do this. They gotta be shitting me!

I can only sum up the closing scenes with one word. CHEESY!! Sandman goes free!! All because of the weak plot they created for him! And no closure with Peter and MJ......

This is what happends when I nit pick it. But as I said earlier, overall, I believe Raimi did good job considering all that was "crammed" in this movie. It was a hell of a lot better than X3 thats for sure.

First off, it's not 'the Venom' it's the symbiote. Secondly, I'd let it bond itself to me for the power, but I'd sure as hell not let it turn me into a cockbag

edit // And symbiote Spider-Man was never THAT evil

Venom was portrayed HORRIBLY! What happened to "WE ARE VENOM" and shit, instead of being some former pansy turned semi-evil when he gets power?

I don't feel like nitpicking more, since I've about done it to death elsewhere. Emo-spidey was hilarious, but probably moreso than was intentional. The plot with Harry was predictable and boring. No closure with MJ sucks.

One nerd moment I had: When the Sandman was first trapped in the physics experiment, all I could think of was "Holy Hell that's the opening scene of HALF-LIFE."

I'd give it maybe a B- overall, I was unsatisfied with a lot of it. Worth watching once, for entertainment with friends, but not twice.

Venom was kind of an issue with me too. But how much character depth could they get into with an hour? Not much I think they should have had Venom escape, that would have been much better.

I thought in the comic, Eddie Brock was Venom, whos Eddie Brock Jr?

I liked how they made Sandman somewhat accurate though.

I really would like to see them create Kingpin or my favorite Spider man Villan Morbius though.

I also thought Spiderman cried too much in this one. So did everyone else in the audience.

Did Spider man ever team up with Green Goblin though? I thought that was kinda dumb.

they focused a little too much on sandman's story. the whole draw of the movie was the black costume and venom, and they kind of wasted it by giving venom only 30 minutes of movie scene and by reeeally downplaying the black costume.

they didn't really emphasize just how much more powerful the black costume made spiderman. in the comics, spiderman could lift a car by himself (no black costume). with the black suit he was supposed to be infinitely stronger. moreover the suit had a mind of its own. if someone were say, coming at spiderman from behind, the suit would attack or move spiderman out of the way on its own. moreover, webbing could come from anywhere on the suit, allowing spidey to say... beat the #$%! out of someone without lifting a finger.

in the movie, the suit pretty much just gave him a temper, and made him a bit more emo.

like so =====> (//_;)

He never teamed up with the Goblin in the comic (I think), but I thought it was a neat idea. Eddie Brock = Eddie Brock, Jr. And they did Kingping in Dare Devil, it was terrible Agreed about the black suit though, it should have made him way stronger. Also, why does Spider Man not have spider sense in the movie at all? No one can jump Spidey. No one!
