Venom is definetly a GOOD reason to see Spider-Man 3, but definetly not the ONLY reason to see it. And he is DEFINETLY not what the film is about.
Right now, I'm actually a bit more excited about seeing as much as possible on Harry Osborn/The New Goblin when the film hits theaters, because not only do I LOVE the Goblins in Spidey-World, but because Harry's story arc takes a very dark turn in his final film (supposedly anyways) and because Harry's arc needs have some action in it...hence, The New Goblin! Not only is his suit very cool, but from what we've heard so far, he's featured in the best one-on-one battle sequence in all 3 films, not to mention the sure-to-be-glorious Battle Royale featuring Spidey, TNG, Sandy, and Ven. So, he gets plenty of action and story in this one, and his actual arc ends with this installment...[blackout]Here's to hoping he goes out like a true hero![/blackout]
Then, the confirmed "main" villain of this installment, Flint Marko...Wow...just Wow! What a glorious character! Not only is he The Sandman, but he's played by Thomas Haden Church, one of the greatest and most underrated actors of our time! The Sandman promises to bring great battle sequences, a conflicted storyline, and a terrible truth along with him in Spidey 3!
Lastly, Venom...the most awaited and most anticipated appearance of any character in any film, probably since the beginning of Spidey's comic run, arrives on May 4th. Not only is Venom one of the greatest Spidey villains of all time, but he's just a good villain over all. Sure you can't compare him to The Joker or The Green Goblin, but he brings with him a great fanbase, and although he does not appear until the final ferocious Battle Royale of Spider-Man 3, he is SURE to bring one hell of a battle with him, and fanboys everywhere, including myself and 3/4 of the Hype, will be rejoicing relentlessly...until the credits roll, and they see it again!
No doubt, "Spidey 3" brings on great villains, but Venom, although he's my favorite Spidey villain, is not at all what the film is about. The film is about Peter Parker's constant struggles with life, and how an alien suit full of great powers fuels that struggle, and the film is ultimately asking the question..."With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility?" Is it TRULY a good thing to use your power(s) for what is expected of you....or should you do with them as you choose? And when faced with a difficult decision, when you're staring into the face of evil, will you know what to do? Will you make the right choice? And, perhaps the most important question, how will your choice(s) affect the people you love and care for?
IMVHO, that is what Spider-Man 3 is REALLY about. Dealing with the choices life thrusts upon us, good or bad. Is the way you handle them, truly the right way they should be handled? Peter Parker will find out, for better or worse, what the cost of great power really is.
Sorry for continuously rambling, but that's how I see it.

. i am not only looking foward to seeing venom in spidey3 but i am also interested in peter fighting the battle within and harrys storyline. there will certainly be very interesting and very cool things in this movie. we have huge battles, a love triangle, the symbiote black costume. peter has to struggle with his personal problems that he faces and has to be this hero that he feels he has to be. this film will be very exciting and will blow me away.
