It ended well, but the transition was bad, like there were some whole chunks missing (I suspect there were probably some scenes before the final clash that were likely dropped either from the script or after filming; hopefully the latter, as I'd like to see them in a Director's Cut if so). If they were trimmed for time, I can think of some comedic scenes that played too long that IMO should have been the first on the chopping block as opposed to the dramatic ones (I loved the comedic scenes, don't get me wrong, just not if they were at the expense of some more significant plot points).Bruce Campbell's cameo in this one was awesome.The editing on the first fight scene was choppy and rushed. I have a feeling it won't look as bad on a smaller screen, but on the big screen, the dark sequence was too hard to follow.Really enjoyed Thomas Haden Church's Sandman- a great take on the character, one in keeping with the character of the comic version. [spoiler]I didn't mind the Joe Chill/Joker-esque retcon myself; I thought it came across really well at the end. It also leaves things open to a Sandman as ally return in the future.[/spoiler]Also- [spoiler]I really liked the Blob-esque take on Venom's origin myself. I think it went right to the point- alien creature- and any further exposition was adequately covered by Doc Connor's dialogue. I do wish Mr. Evil-Dead had taken a bit more schlocky horror glee in its initial appearance, though- I'd have liked to see the symbiote suck an innocent bystander dry before latching onto Pete's ride. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[/spoiler]Again, very well done- really enjoyed it. It was just that all-important last act that things kind of fell apart for me. I think part of it had to do with the way the escalating conflict changed so abruptly that it didn't quite flow as well with how the story had developed up to then.</blockquote>
