I would slap Stan Lee for allowing this movie

Rating: 1/10 (31 August 2007)

Sorry Stan, much respect for you, but I don't understand how you let this happen. I watched this at the movies the first day it came out in Australia.
As I watched the opening, I thought " well this is odd, but at least venom is coming".
Then as it continued, I still held on to the dream. No matter how bad they screwed the storyline, at least venom was coming, and that would save everything.
And then venom turns up, and he destroyed any chance of redemption. He is supposed to be a big guy, who has joined with a symbiote, and has a double voice, sounding like a scream, with a really scary face. Instead, they have that weak little girl from that 70's show, and instead of making him scary, by giving him venom's scary face, they remove the face, and have the actors face and voice, whining like the little girl that he is. Whats up with that???? I know I have completely ignored the aspect of sandman, but thats because he's not worth it. He's dull, and unnecessary. Venom would've made or broken this movie.
Unfortunately, he broke it.
From the time I heard the first movie was coming out I was excited, because I knew that meant Venom would be there eventually. Then I heard the 3rd movie would be his, and I couldn't wait. Now my dreams have been shattered.
Now there is only one more great character left. His name is CARNAGE. If you cannot portray him, and his struggle with venom correctly, please do no not try. It will only ruin it for us and the new following of younger fans will in no way make up for the older ones of us that you lose.
I'm begging you to stop now, if you can't get it right.
Sincerely Barry.
