No way to redo Secret Wars. So use a quick entrance for the simbiote to get to the earth. Eh. The exposure was correct, but if memory served, it was Spidey, not Pete, that exposed Brock, so his hate was directed at Spiderman primarily. In the movie, Brock actually sees Pete and the suit. And it was Richards, not Connors, that figures out what's with the symbiote. Considering there is a FF4 movie, it could have been done.

There was NO time to establish the bond between the symbiote, Pete and Brock. No way there could have been, unless you drop the whole Sandman storyline (or make the movie twice as long). Even then, Venom's desire to try to help the 'innocents', as often shown in the comics, wouldnt have worked either in a 2 hour movie.

It's impossibe to wrap years of storyline in 2 hours, so it's to be expected.
