Indeed, watching the film today, in a story overloaded with characters and villains and love triangles and mysterious backstories, it's immediately clear that Raimi put his true heart and soul in the misunderstood, tragic Sandman. When the film finally hit theaters, following months of trailers indicating that Venom was the film's star villain, fans and critics alike were left with a strange, underwhelming feeling that they'd just seen the wrong 'Spider-Man 3.' Rather than professing a love for the film's top villian, fan-favorite Venom - a black, goopy creation of the comics that brings out Peter Parker's "dark side" - Raimi seemed more interested in the Sandman, a character that few die-hard Spidey fans were eager to see hit the big screen. As the pre-release marketing juggernaut for 'Spider-Man 3' started to kick into high gear earlier this year, director Sam Raimi began giving a series of surprisingly candid interviews.
Looking back, the warning signs were there fairly early on.
