There's two ways of looking at it though, a big sprawling popcorn fest with Spidey against a devastatingly cunning opponent, or the need to pursue other aspects of the Venom mythology, IE the earliest part, that provide much more fuller content that does'nt put Peter Parker or Spidey on the backburner, and evolves the other plots they had to fit in.
The Venom storyline would'nt have solved any of those problems, the Alien Coustume storyline from the 1980's however was perfect for it. That part of the story was handled well in the animated series
No doubt Eddie's transformation into Venom should have been the cliffhanger and the character be given fuller exposure in the fourth film, there's no excuse for Sargent to have done what he did, except for the sad fact he really does'nt like Venom, neither does Raimi. So there you go.
Honestly, Venom's never had broad scope in the comics, where as the Symbiote has, Raimi and Sargent went with the better story, not what was good for the fanbase for the character.

This movie would've been great even if Venom was not to be in it at all. But be honest, and tell me that you were not dissapointed about the whole Venom thing...

I don't remotley
LIKE Venom as a character, I consider him heavily overrated as mentioned in other parts of this thread, where as I loved the Alien Symbiote storyline, so it was easy for me to laugh off the short span the character had, and actually saw him used well as a "mirror" for Peter and what could have happened to him if he had the symbiote for too long.
