86383, SPOILERS (if you never read the origin of venom)
Posted by gluvnast, Fri May-04-07 12:29 PM
well actually, the vemon story SORTA did go off the original comic storyline....it wasn't COMPLETELY accurate, but rarely a comic-based movie ever is (unless you're doing a frank miller flick).

but eddie brock DID have beef with peter parker, because peter parker exposed him as a fraud, exactly like it was in the movie...brock DID knew peter's identity through the alien suit as well as they DID show vemon being the superior one and the only way spiderman to win was pretty much exactly whut he did in the movie...as well as how he got rid of the suit in the 1st place...

so the vemon story was PRETTY well accurate, with the exception for the absolute end.

whut i was disappoint with was that there wasn't enough fighting between them, mainly because everything was so crunched together...so that's why people wouldn't GET the full detailed understanding of the obsessiveness of both brock & the suit against peter parker & spiderman...it was the SAME type of obsessiveness as harry's, but it TOOK damn near TWO movies to reached that point of understanding the length to harry's obsession to destroying spiderman...had vemon had some REASONABLE time on screen to build up that obsession to destroy spiderman...we could understand it and vibe with it better
