I got back from the movie a few hours ago. I thought it was good, but yeah, definitely not as good as the second. I don't have anything that I didn't like about it, other than "I killed him. No I didn't."
As much as I love Topher, I didn't think it was very good casting. And I really think the venom character could have been left out all together. It also bugs me when not everything is explained. Like what the heck happened to Flint (the guy who turned into sandman). I mean what was that contraption that did that to him? What were they researching, etc? Also, where did Venom come from? Was it just an alien that happened to land on earth? Why go specifically after Spidey? In the comics, they explain that it came back from space on an astronaughts ship or something like that. The movie just left so many holes.
Well, the particle physics test has already been explained. Though I have no idea what they were doing, but hey, what do I know about particle physics? I think Flint just went away. Bye bye, off to the beach.
Venom.. now, I thought he added a good bit of conflict, but it was awfully rushed for the movie. Now, I have no idea why the Venom-goo was in the meteorite. But it went after Spidey because of proximity. The meteorite just happened to land near them in Central Park (I'm assuming that's where they were). It stuck onto the moped, and bided its time before it adhered to the suit. I wonder what would have happened if a homeless person had been near it instead...
