And people who say Spider-Man Homecoming is better than Spider-Man 2 are wrong. Spider-Man 2 had a villain that had development and a motive. In addition, it showed Harry Osborn's resentment for Spider-Man develop and set up Spider-Man 3 nicely until Sony forced Venom down our throats. The Vulture(even though I have zero complaints with Keaton acting) had absolutely no motive. The best part about Homecoming was the twist.

That being said, Holland was fine as Spider-Man.
I think the problem with Spiderman 3 was making Sandman the primary villain. You don't give Venom 45 minutes of screen time, if that, and expect the story to be honored like it should. I really would've been intrigued to having just the symbiote be the villain, no Sandman, no other villains. The story to make Spiderman the villain for the first half of the movie, building up Eddie Brock's hatred of him, and then have Venom torture Peter the second half of the movie would've been the movie I wanted to see. They did that to a degree, but giving screen time to Sandman and bringing him back as the possible killer of Uncle Ben was a waste. Not to mention Sandman wasn't really a villain, not in the traditional comic book movie sense. The Venom saga should've stood on it's own, even if you included Harry Osborne and what happened to him into the movie it would've worked much better without Sandman. Venom is the greatest Spiderman villain of all time, you need to show respect to that storyline and it's not even a negotiation. Definitely looking forward to Tom Hardy's Venom.
