re: Why Do People Give Raimi a Pass on Spiderman 3 Because of Studio Interference?

Did Raimi get to pick Eddie Brock? If so, more blame is deserved.

I think the symbiote really could have worked if they just kept it simple. Make the first half about Harry vs Peter. Harry first time kicks Peter's arse, but then he comes across the symbiote. He is then powerful enough to nearly kill Harry. Then have Peter get rid of the symbiote just for it to become the main antagonist at the end in the form of Venom, with Harry and Peter taking him down at the end when they finally make ammends. There was just no need for Gwen Stacy or Sandman. It was just too needlessly complex.
