Venom is more of an anti-hero than a villain to me. He hates Spider-man because of his jealousy, but outside of attacking Spider-man, he often wants to help the city and in a sense replace Spider-man. I think a movie about him could do a quick origins story (modified a little if needed to keep Spidey out), then introduce that Carnage's symbiote came down too. The origins for Carnage could be more drawn out throughout the movie, so that the first half of the movie is Venom getting used to his symbiote, while introducing Kasady and his insanity in human form, then by the 2nd half of the movie Kasady becomes Carnage and goes crazy on the city.
By the way, one of my childhood favorite comic story lines was when Venom went completely nuts and started having split personalities and multiple heads, then had to fight Juggernaut (The Madness storyline).
Now Trank is attached to doing 'The Red Star' adaptation

It was cool how he was tossing cars around, but in the final scene (just before he's impaled) he starts screaming incessantly, as though he's going to collapse the entire city, yet he merely succeeds in... Breaking all the windows in his vicinity? Weak.
Yeah, I didn't like the ending too much. I mean, it was alright. But it could have been done a lot better.
I did like how they showed each character's telekinetic progression--from lifting legos, to catching baseballs, to moving cars, to flying, etc.
