Untrue to the tale of VENOM and some REALLY BAD acting going on here.

Rating: 3/10 (14 July 2007)

The CGI did their job for the most part although Spidey often looks far too pixelated and cartoonish when the action starts rolling. The overall plot is great but the details and the acting are absolutely pathetic to the extreme!! The problem is they are borrowing the hype of Venom - the evil spiderman suit from an alien galaxy but then squandering that momentum on a VERY limp and thoroughly unrealistic and ridiculous drama that goes NOWHERE and has massively unbelievable super lame moments including Mary Jane and the hobgoblin making an omelette and then mimicking the scene from Pulp Fiction with Travolta and Uma as they dance to the twist. I couldn't believe what I was seeing at times it was so pathetically BAD in the plot development department. The action was OK-good but Geez Louise!! Could they not see that they had awful, horrendous acting and the sort of dramatic elements that make you want to tell your script writer to stop smoking crack??!
The ladies on the street reacting to the black formal suit montages w Peter Parker were especially pathetic, laughable, and just plain idiotic. Using the geeky hand movements of white boy disco was an especially pathetic saddening touch to the already disturbingly lame visual.
The acting is repulsively bad. The cgi is pretty good but for this budget, they screwed up royally and this qualifies as a TOTAL STINKER.
