The first time I saw it, at a press screening (I write for the Denver Post's Colorado Kids) I had mixed feelings about it. Then I went to see it again on Saturday, and liked it a million times more. It could be my favorite in the series. It's such a deep, multi-layered movie, and never drags or feels gimmicky. Having never read the comics, the minimal appearance of Venom didn't bother me. I just love this movie, and its such a perfect ending to the series. I hope they don't make a fourth one, because I don't want them to spoil the ending.
