Waste of Time and Money

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 2007)

Personally I thought that this movie was absolutely horrible and a complete waste of my night. They turned a good franchise into what seems to be a repeat of the Matrix. I mean come on, this movie had every tool available to make it a great movie and they really just screwed it up. The guy before me who said the only people who wouldn't like this movie was a spoiled child really doesn't understand the meaning of the word apparently. Somehow they took one the the greatest super villains of all time (Venom) and turned him into a little wuss that just wants to cry about everything. If I remember correctly Venom took the Host of Eddie Brock who was a HUGE X-con that really didn't like anyone. Not a tiny kid who works for the paper and cheats to get ahead in life. Personally I think a Pro wrestler such as John Cena, or Goldberg would have better suited for the part. Topher Grace does not in any way live up to the Venom Legacy. Not to mention that they Kill off venom in this movie, even though he really was one of the better matches of Spiderman. If they even attempt to make another sequel they are really running into a dead end because without Venom was possibly the greatest Villain that spidy ran into. And without Venom the only other real super villain that could be considered absolutely awesome would be Carnage and without Venom spider man can't beat him.
But besides the obvious misunderstanding of Venom himself, when did Spiderman decide that it was alright to hang upside down and cheat on his clearly more attractive, more interesting girlfriend in front of the whole world. Then her to become a cheating skank and do it right back. If you say that, that just adds to the plot, you pretty much are just proving to me that the plot to begin with was terrible and they were just making it worse. Oh and when ever even with the help of Venom did Spiderman turn into an Emo kid who has a taste for 70's music and can now play the piano like he has been doing it for 20 years. They really just pulled all of that out of left field, and even if it had some bearing on anything, they could have at least tried to put some reference to it in the movie so we knew some how or why.
All in all the only part that I even found decent about the movie was that they used Bruce Campbell and he was a great comic relief. Oh and I forgot about one thing, since when does everyone including spider man, Venom, and even the Sandman feel that crying like little girls adds to their character. My friend said it best in the Theater, they might as well have had Barny the Dinosaur come out and give them all a hug. So in conclusion my personal opinion is that the movie sucked and was not worth my money or my night. And I know I wasn't alone, in fact I have been to a lot of movie premiers and normally there is somewhat of a applause or even a standing ovation at the end. But everyone in the theater I was in Booed the movie and you better believe that I joined in. My advice is don't pay to see it, wait until you can see it for free or just don't see it you might be better off letting the second one be the end.
