I liked this film for reasons I didn't expect. I liked Sandman, I liked Harry Osborne, I liked the Peter Parker drama, etc. What I didn't like, suprisingly, was Venom. He was just a waste of potential and seemed squeezed in. When I came out of the theater, I put it as my favorite. I've lowered it to my second favorite, with the first being my favorite. This seems to be a love/hate movie, but I'd suggest not coming in with huge expectations. There's some nice humor, some really, really corny scenes, and some cool action. I enjoyed it at least.
