I've read that Sam Raimi really didn't want to include Venom in the movie, that Marvel kinda forced it on him, as he's a much bigger fan of the 70s era Spiderman stories instead of the more current stuff like Venom.
I actually thought this one was a hell of a lot less weepy than the second one- I felt that 2 was much more emo than it should've been, and I thought this one was less so. Part of me may have just thought it was hilarious that once Peter turned "baaad" that they had him rocking the eyeliner and ridiculous emo haircut, so that he looked like Conor Oberst's evil twin.
Rumor has it that the villain for SP-4 is going to be Carnage.
