Just got back from seeing it. Man, it was pretty awful. I really liked it from the start, up until about the Harry kidnaps Mary Jane scene, and from there it got pretty bad. The whole evil Peter thing was WAY too over the top. Just terrible. All the dialogue during that section was just painful. The others had plenty of campy moments in them, but I have cut them plenty of slack and still enjoy them both a lot. But this...
The raindrops scene in the second one was awesome. I love that seen. It was purposely campy, but other than the music it wasn't so retarted. The jazz scene was beyond campy. I don't even see the two scenes as comparable. I did like the beginning and the end of this movie though. It was just that mid section that totally lost it.
EDIT: Oh, I almost forgot. I hate how in just about ever scene with Venom talking he had Brock's head, I also hate his constant refering to himself as "I", that was an extreme oversight in the writing. In the comics he always refers to himself as "we".
But on the upside, the Bruce Campbell appearance was pretty cool.

The Jazz scene's stupidity serves a purpose to the story. This scene lets the audiance know that the suit is amplifying traits that were weak before. The suite is giving him a major confidence boost, and the audience needs to see that. Yes, Peter looks beyond stupid strutting around the city, but that is from the audiences point of view, not Peter's. Because of the suit Peter thinks he is invincible and that no matter what anyone does it does not matter because he is better and stronger than them. If Peter would have not had the suit's influence he would never have strutted around the city like that. The audience has to realize how bad the suite is affecting him, and it all culminates to the point where he hits Mary Jane. Had you not preceeded this scene with something silly and light hearted it would have made the moment when he hits Mary Jane less dramatic. To know what drama is you have to know what the opposite is and that is humor, and this is exactly what the Jazz scene was.
