SPIDER MAN 3 SPOILERS [ED]

[ QUOTE ]
Too many villains. I think having Harry/Green Goblin 2, Venom (both him and the second guy), and Sandman was too much.

this reminded me a lot of Batman & Robin, or whatever the Batman was that had the Riddler and Mr. Freeze and 2Face as well I think? I forget exactly, but there were a bunch of new villians in one of them, and it sucked. too much going on.

my biggest problem with the "Topher Venom" was that he was introduced and killed like 30 minutes later. No character development at all. Comic book nerds seem most upset by this, as Venom is apparently one of Spidey's biggest nemesessisis.

To the first point, I think directors sometimes fall into the trap of thinking "this is a sequel, I better do more than I did last time!". hence more characters and in general too much stuff going on, instead of sticking with the formula that worked. it's probably a shortcut, b/c I would think it's harder to make multiple great movies with 1 hero/1 villian.
