I actually dug seeing a live action Venom on screen in SpiderMan 3, and that's something I forever stand on... But I figured Sony would do the character more justice with a solo spin than a crowbar into an already complex story. The first go round with the symbiote was pretty uneventful, but entertaining. Now with Andy Serkis in the director's chair and Carnage in the fold, there's no reason this shouldn't be a much better comic book movie. Enjoy, people.
