I didn't think he fitted the role whatsoever. Eddie Brock was meant to be a pumped up, arrogant, all-around cunt and have a raw passionate hatred for Spiderman. In the third film he was just a pissed off wimp who happened to get the power of the symbiote. Also I missed the part in the comics or animated TV show where Brock was going out with or had any connection whatsoever with Gwen Stacy... I guess I could be a little biased though. I was never keen on Topher playing Brock. I guess I just couldn't see past the fact that he was some nerdy little stoner all those years in that 70's show.
Well I don't think any comic book movie has ever completely followed the comics. I might be wrong on that though. I love Topher Grace as an actor...and thought the portrayal of Brock was pretty good. I just wish there was more of a backstory on him or that he was even in the movie more. I dont really mind it being different than the comics though
Speaking of Venom, this youtube video sums up what I think of Spiderman 3. [youtube]HoNgMVFQNBI[/youtube] Oh and one other thing, in order to get one part of this video, you're gonna need to watch this one: [youtube]yavK0mnE3wI[/youtube]
