They tried too hard.

Rating: 3/10 (12 July 2012)

This movie would have been pretty good if they had left out the Venom plot line. Thomas Hayden Church is a fantastic villain, and he has a great back story, but the Venom/Brock nonsense was horrible. Although it never explains how Parker knew The Sandman was Church, or at least I didn't figure notice. Also, the part when The Sandman first gets wet is /incredibly cheesy/.
I didn't like the Gwen Stacy character either. She was a needless love interest which complicated things too much. Might I also add that Harry Osborn's butler is a crappy 'Michael Caine from Batman' ripoff. He's nothing more than a plot device. This is quite frankly not worth watching.
And nobody cared that Brock died.
