What? You need to get your facts straight here. Venom tries to kill Sandman in the comics, yet they seem to team up in the movie. Theres no other way to look at this other than seeing that the movie butchered what the comics originally told.
Go back and read Venom's origin story (it's widely available now in trade paperback so it's easy to find). The movie stayed more true to the original concept behind the character than every comic that came after that story did. I've said it before and I'll say it again; everything that's been done with Venom since the first story has only served to butcher the character as far as I'm concerned. That movie gave us Venom in his original glory, and I'm eternally grateful to Sam Raimi for having the sense to stay true to that.

As far as I'm concerned, Spider-Man 3 was the best of the three movies and I love the whole Spidey franchise. It not only managed to stay true to characters like Venom, but it made the Sandman an interesting villian for a change, and took the character of Peter Parker in a new and dare I say, original direction. Kudos to Sam Raimi.

X3 was more about them seeing how many out of character mutant cameos they could cram into one movie. It had things I liked about it, but overall it was a lot of flash with little substance, and managed to butcher half of the characters in it (both literally and in terms of character development). It made me realize just how much that franchise needed Brian Singer. I find it funny that just because Venom and Sandman team up you claim Raimi butchered the the story Dreddz, and yet you seem to have no problem with anything X3 did. Spidey 3 is the better movie by a long shot.
