I dont see this movie surpassing the second, too much going on in my opinion. Sadman looks dull (he was easily the worst Spider Man villain ), were all bored of the Green Goblin now I imagine, but Venom will still be a treat. And Im a 100% certain hes in the film as they introduce Brock in the trailer ( who's only purpose would be to become Venom ) and the fact that you see Peter in a church ripping the suit off, which happens to be where Brock becomes Venom in the cartoon.
