Comic book fun that even the most novice of comic book followers can enjoy!! Takes place in my old backyard & is a nice tribute to the Bay Area!! Good performances by all major characters!! A fun movie!! Fringes on the X-Men characters of old but all of these players minus Brock at times are anti-heroes. The special effects are spectacular and the comedy is timely. Only wish they would re-do the original Spider-man 3 with this Venom but that would have to be a flashback or reboot. Hardy is perfect for the character. The movie moves along at a great pace with very little lulls in it. Hope they make - and it seems like they will make a sequel really soon!!
