it still hurts

Rating: 1/10 (13 November 2012)

This film was release five years ago and it still makes my blood boil. Coming off the back of spiderman two which i thought was one of the best superhero films ever made i thought there was noway they could miss. a great film before it and using one of my fave characters.....VWNOM. The hype for the film was the best part of the film.
from the get go this film is utterly painful the forced patriotism as he poses in front of the American flag .....AGAIN hes done it in every film, give us a break we get it, hes American.
the sandman storyline was so forced, i felt no sympathy for him with his sick daughter, and revisiting the uncle Ben story was so un-needed. Mary Jane, although i am a fan of Miss Dunst this was one of the worst performances I've seen from her. Harry was watchable but still added nothing really to the storyline. the Butler telling him however many years after his fathers death that it was his own glider killed him was such a stupid bit of the plot i actually nearly cried.
onto the thing i was most psyched for the Symbiote. while in, what i shall call goo form, at some points looked very good, others looked like flubbers black cousin and at one point looked like a guys hand in a bin liner. When we met Eddie Brock, immediate thoughts was he was way to weedy. the guys tiny and Brock/venom is meant to be huge. the transformation into venom was brilliantly done and was straight out of the comic / cartoon. loved that part. but when he was venom, again way to small and he was just a black spiderman, ,no trademark white spider no trademark tongue, in fact he just kept peeling the face back so we see Topher Grace with bad vampire teeth talking to us all the time. guys, this is something the spiderman fans have been looking forward to for years. And you have made it nothing like the source material.
now I've been gentle in this review and haven't even mentioned Emo Peter Parker doing the Saturday night fever down the street or dancing in the bar, all ill say on that is this.....how many people worked on this film? and we have to believe at no point did anyone put there hand up and say "What the hell are we doing here?"
This film was terrible from start to finish apart from the venom transformation for Brock.
but this question still remains, which is the bigger piece of crap....this ....or Batman and Robin?
