Do I see some post Batman villain jamming?

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2007)

Initially I was impressed with Sammies visualization of venom and the Sandman. Venom happens to be a villain I have great interest in. And I believe that if you could get one villain in this movie it would be Venom, and the birth of Carnage. But it doesn't happen here. And that was a major downer to me. There was a lot more of Venom in the comics, and he was a force to be reckon with.
The fight sequences in the Spiderman movies are becoming increasingly brutal at the expense of bad lines. Spider-man 3 is a dark movie struggling to maintain that Spider-Man feel of the first two movies. I found myself watching a movie similar to the last two Schumacher-Batman catastrophes. I don't care for Spider-Man all that much but I am interested in his enemies.
I have to say I give credit to Sam Raimi for taking a stab at Venom. Yet I wish it could have been better. I find myself leaving the theater unsatisfied with the disposal of a hardcore villain. But over all Tobey Maguire is still spot on for Peter Parker and establishes that he is Peter Parker in these films as does Daniel Radcliffe for Harry Potter. I recommend you see this film if you're in to the comics and you absolutely loved the first two films.
*note: there are plenty more villains in the Spidy universe to keep the movie franchise going, I suggest they go into deeper detail with the villains rather then dwelling on Parker's spilt milk. In other words keep from having two villains in a movie... Venom could of handled Spidy on his own in the comics, Partly because Parker's spider senses don't work with Venom.
