It was decent enough. Not as good as the second one though. I really enjoyed Bruce Campbell's little bit.

I loved Bruce Campbell's bit 
I think there was too many villains to care about them all - it probably would have worked out better with Harry (given that he's already got the backstory) and either Venom or Sandman. Certainly the latter two weren't given enough attention, when they could probably be the focus of a single-villain Spiderman film.
But ah wells, the special effects were great and I enjoyed the action scenes. It seemed to have a lot more funny parts as well, though not as much from Jameson as I might have liked.

It s=could have been much better had they focused more on just one villain. I agree that venom was rushed into the story as a side track. It had potential, but they tried to fit too much into the movie.

I totally agree. Goblin/Sandman would have been enough for the movie, and they should have given a hint of Venom at the end to set up Spiderman IV.
Jameson was downplayed a bit in this movie...although I did enjoy the scene with his 'pills'.

To be fair, I think Raimi and the cast are looking at this as the end of a trilogy, with only a possibility that they might be/want to be involved in the next one. I think Sandman was in there to provide a sort of 'full circle' feel to the whole thing.
I would have done it Goblin/Venom, to provide us with a decent initial villain while Parker was having to deal with the whole 'dark spiderman' angle that was actually present in the third film, though not properly explored.

That was particularly grand

Yeah unforntunately three villians in a movie is too much. I thought the sandman was awesome though. Special effects for him were pretty cool. It was ok movie but not great. Same problem with the third x-men movie; too much going on at once.

I read that Raimi planned only Sandman and Doblin, but got talked into FVenom by the producers for the 'newer' readers. Just as Raimi didn't plane on naming the other girl Gwen.
Think I read that at scifi.com...

It was good, like everybody else said. For me, probably too lengthy in some parts, and not nearly lengthy enough in others.
Spoiler-ish stuff
Couple things: I was dissapointed w/ venom. The character was there way too short, and Topher Grace didn't do enough stuff (I think hes a good actor, ever since Eric on That 70s show).
I also thought they made sandman too sympathetic almost. I understand that they tried to make his character moving, and succeeded a little, but I was there to see some action (and maybe they could have taken some time out of his character to put into Venom).
Venom's girlfriend didn't even need to be there. She was a bit attractive, but Venom did nothing with her and later was killing spiderman over how he lost his girl because of him. They did absolutely squat in the movie, besides the first scene when Spiderman saved her.
Lastly, Stan Lee needs to get out of the acting business. He's really annoying since that "Who wants to be a Superhero" show and is always talking in the Marvel movies. Alfred Hitchcock just put himself in discreetly, not this blatant shot with Stan Lee taking up 1/2 the screen.

It was good, but the story would have been a lot better without the sandman. Or at least don't make him grow 100 feet tall, that's way too juvinile. I also don't like how the explanation of why he killed the uncle. Gwen Stacy needed more attention too.
Why are people complaining about how venom made spiderman look emo? You need something visual to tell the difference after all.

making him look emo doesnt make him evil, it makes him look weak and girly, thus easily destroyed.

Errr. Gwen Stacey and her dad were part of the Spiderman Comic book. Venom wasn trying to kill spiderman over her, he wanted Spiderman dead since spidey got him fired and humiliated from the newspaper.
While Stan Lee is not an actor, I dont begrudge his cameo appearances in the Marvel movies....hell, if not for him we wouldnt have all this great material for such movies to begin with....so, a few seconds on the screen is a very small price to pay as homage to him.
Besides, I liked the 'who wants to be a Superher' show even as campy as it was.

i never understood the deal with sandman. He's made of sand. Doesn't seem very intimidating
"I'm the sandman!"
*pours bucket of water on sandman*
"ooh now look, youre mud man"
or
"im sandman!" *blows away in wind*

he did the first one though.
and is it impossible to kill sandman? because he should have killed him about 20 times. SAND CAN BE DESTROYED! he should either be mudman or ashman by now. BUT NO!
the ending was so anti-climactic, just like....
and also, I REALLY wish they did more with Gwen than Kirsten Dunst. I have a friend who was really self-concious about herself. She saw KD, and felt better immediately. THAT says a lot.

Unlike my brother, I though it was an okay film. It not a great classic; it doesn't even measure up to the previous movies. Mostly, it the little things that drag it down - scenes that go on for to long, ideas half executed, etc. There is a good movie under it, but it is fine as is.
