I think Raimi just wanted to do the venom story,




actually Raimi hates Venom and didn't want to use him at all. He was talked into it by Avi Arad.

I think I'll wait for dvd on this one. it doesn't have that "must see" feel to it.



That makes as much sense to me...I can't believe everyone liked the Venom stuff so much. I thought it was the weakest part of the film.


Venom was actually one of the better handled parts of the film, in the build up at least, it was just the actual Venom bit itself that was rushed (but maybe that was because Raimi did not want Venom in the movie).

The rivalry with Brock and Parker was great, and really gave Brock motivation for becoming Venom.
His character was also well thought out and was almost the mirror opposite of Parker (even more so than when Parker was Dark-Parker).
The only gripe I have, is that I thought he should have been older and more established as a photographer rather than the rookie he was.
That would have given him even more reason to hate Peter, as no adult likes being shown up by a kid!


As for Gwen, I just felt her character was just fan wank, and served no real purpose in this film unless its all part of a build up to a possible fourth outting.

The part she played in the movie could so easily have been replaced by some random bitch made up for the film, and nobody would have noticed anything different.

I do find it funny though that they cast a blonde to play red head MJ, and a red head to play blonde Gwen!

Snarf is shit. His death will be rejoiced!
