The Venom issue is because Sam Raimi was a ****ing douche about it. Since Venom wasn't in the first 2 movies, fans pressured both him and the studio to bring Venom out, but since Sammy boy only loves 'realism' (he didn't like the whole alien substance thing), he decided to give the finger to the fans and make the entire movie go the wrong way with wrong actors and a boring screenplay. Not to mention the f-ing emo thing.
Ultimately, when at first I liked Raimi's first Spiderman and somewhat the second, I wished he'd quit and give Spiderman 4 to someone who gives a damn about the comic and not what he thinks is 'realistic.' I mean the sequel just became too much like a soap opera, despite the cool fight scenes. With his 'realism' intact and no fans screaming at him, he'll probably jump on where he left off with 'his' interpretation on how the story of Spiderman should be told.
As for myself, I'd like it if he simply redid Spiderman 3 without being an asshole and doing it right. Like hell is he going to stay true to anything, however, so I only have two words of contempt for him: **** him. He should just go back to making evil dead sequels with my buddy Bruce killing baddies. Either that or make an "Adventures of Brisco County Jr" movie.
