Many people, including Director Sam Raimi himself, deem “Spider-Man 3” as the weakest of the trilogy, and one reason is the number of underdeveloped villains such as Venom, who was really a character that needed his own movie. Raimi has actually voiced his dislike of Venom for his “lack of humanity,” but was forced to include him by the president of Marvel Studios at the time, Avi Arad.
