Venom will happen, for reasons other than dramatic potential.
After all Spider-Man in the black costume was a genuine part of Spidey's continuity and legacy so it wouldn't come across as making a cool costume switch just to look different for the sake of it (ie Batman and Robin). Plus we all know he'll likely revert back to his red and blue threads by the end of the movie. Every kid will want a black costume version of Spider-Man. Venom is piss easy to do in a two hour film, but he does need to be Brock.
A lot of criticism of the character probably arises from his overexposure, he can't work over a long period of time. Perfect for a feature film though. The cinema difference is also why having Harry Osborn become another Goblin would be awful on screen. It wouldn't come off as an interesting sins-of-the-father story, it would smack of rehash.
