Oh god...when she pulled the bacon out...I'm going to vomit....

 

[AMAZEN]

Glad I have never had Bacon cause that Cow looked like she was ready to tussle!

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Extract the venom/symbiot aspects from Spider-Man 3, and the Sandman arc is a solid story.

Except Extreme Snowboarder Goblin, daytime soap amnesia, retconning the first movie away, MJ being all miserable. Venom was just one of a few things wrong with the film

i agree on all points but no movie is perfect .

Would X-Gamer Goblin even have been needed in the end? I always felt that was another bi-product of Venom with Spidey being overwhelmed by the caliber of villains he had to deal with.

I'd say so, afterall it seems the theme of Raimi's attempts were centered around Harry's descent in villainhood

Not sure though. Without Venom, I don't think Spidey would've needed the helping hand, and that was more about Harry's redemption than villainy.

Sandman was an incredibly boring character, sure taking away venom and goblin from that movie would have made it less cluttered but we still would have been left with a verrrrry dull villain.
I'm not a spidey comic reader but after watching all of the spectacular spiderman animated series I wish the movie Sandman were more like sandman from the cartoon.

sandman was always boring raimi wanted him in there he has said its one of his favorites villains .

 

[ironwez20]

Actually I think tobey wanted sandman. If done correctly sandman would be a good side villain and not a main villain .

 

[thenammagazine]

Guess it's a generational thing. I actually liked Sandman.

 

[ironwez20]

O I like him to but he couldn't hold a movie by himself maybe if they tweaked his story.

they both did in fact and i agree a good side villain .

They did didn't they he was uncle Ben supposed killer .

Without the need for Venom, I'm sure there would've been more encounters. As it is, I thought the battle in the subway was awesome. Would've been even better without douchy Peter in the black suit.

 

[CelticPredator]

Sandman was cool. And they had a great actor playing the role. I enjoyed every moment Tom was on screen.

I hated the ending, because by that point I was so sick of ****ing crying, I wanted that building to crumble.

When Sandman floated away, I understood there could've been emotion here. Had the studio allowed the story to be what it was.

 

[Deckard]

I thought the original gameplan was Vulture busting Sandman out of jail to help him knock over banks or the like? So no origin, no little kid needs money, no Uncle Ben killer, but either way he was just going to more or less be a henchman.

 

[CelticPredator]

That would've worked too.

I liked the Sandman too. Just wish they hadn't retconned the story to involve him. There was no need for that. -.-

Venom and the completely scrapped, awesome Symbiote Spidey suit hit home the worst though. Although, I'm pretty sure Raimi's heart wasn't in any of it, and that's why it ultimately failed and hindered the overall film.
