...totally sucked. I was completely disappointed especially after being excited that Venom was to be one of the villains in this one. That being said, Topher Grace's turn as Venom was actually pretty good. The makeup, effects, and costuming were good. Peter Parker's metamorphosis into an emo-looking, egomaniacal, Pete Wentz/Jared Leto lookalike was pathetic...as was the dancing and carrying on while he was in the grips of his symbiotic relationship.
It was long and never-ending and AJ and I groaned out loud several times. By the time Venom actually made his appearance I had forgotten that he was even supposed to be in the damn thing. I knew that he wasn't supposed to be in it for very long but my major complaint when I remembered that he was, indeed, a character, was that the movie wasn't over yet. Now that Venom was onscreen I was going to have to sit through that much more of the crappy film.
Ugh. Totally a letdown. I don't even think Carnage could have made this worthwhile (and, yes, I know that Carnage didn't appear til later...he's just my favorite!) Don't waste the $10 it'll cost you to see it.
