I think the problem with the Sandman was that for some reason they want to have a connection between all the villains and Peter.
With Venom, the Goblins and Doc Oc it all made sense, but with Sandman it was really stretching things!

The film itself was really good but the silly little things stopped it from being truly great.

Gotta say as well, that Bruce Campbell played the part of John Cleese brilliantly!

Snarf is shit. His death will be rejoiced!
