I didnt think id give a squat about the sandman, while watching this movie in the works. But when i saw the movie, and how it started off introducing him, and all the character development that was going on. Especially the awesome and strangely beautiful meloncholy that was going on , when his genes spliced with the sand chromosomes. I thought they would do a decent job of portarying him like the previous villians. In short, making me give a squat. But then we just start seeing less and less of him, and they completly ditched his story. Its like a literal change of plot , while the movies rolling. Like someone through in a different half assed spiderman movie, now focusing mainly on the symboite saga. GOD , i know that raimi was sticking to his guns about his hatred towards venom. But they got him to make a symboite movie anyways! I think this will forever bother me, because we are now stuck with these spiderman movies. Itll be like 30 generations later when they decide to make another one im sure. They had the oppurtunity to make a great symboite spiderman movie, in the quality that matches the other decent films. BUT NO, they diffently pulled an xmen 3 on this one.
