So I was reading media news on IGN today and found out that Sam Raimi has finally started unveiling the infamous Venom in the upcoming Spiderman movie. For years, Spiderman fans have watched Eddie Brock mutate from the simple jail cell jock into one of the best enemies Spiderman has ever faced. There are some better ones but for now I think Raimi has done a good job. With the recent trend in most of Marvel's normal run comics (The Knights series is an offshoot), its nice to see that Marvel have finally decided to go back to grassroots and pit Spiderman against a good villain. I was hoping for a view of Carnage in the entire misgivings but I think that it would be a bit too much for the writers to incorporate. Also, the inclusion of Topher Grace as Eddie Brock has me a bit confused. I never saw Topher as the bulky muscular kind with the ability to really portray what Stan Lee had in mind.
All I can hope for is an entertaining movie and who knows maybe Sam can pull off another idiotic Spiderman movie (after number 2) and get away with it.
