Venom is perhaps one of the greatest supervillains for Spider-Man, but in this film, Spider-Man 3 wasted the opportunity of the character. Overloaded with villains, the time dedicated to Eddie Brock's insanity or the psychological hold of the symbiote on Peter Parker wasn't enough. Topher Grace had strong potential, but the screenplay moved too quickly and made it so Venom was a forgotten secondary foe. Fans wanted more depth on the complexity of the character in his dark conflict and rivalry with Spider-Man.
