p.s. Those things weren't shortcuts at all.
And Sandman didn't just randomly decide to fight Spiderman. He decided to get revenge on him for killing him. That's what the point of him coming out of the mud and going looking for Spidey was. He was sick of him getting in his way. That's why he attacked Venom, he was looking for Spidey. Thats why he WANTED to get Spidey instead of just getting him when he HAD to as you observed.

In case you didnt notice, all of the problems Parker had to deal with at the end were a result of the black suit. Sandman wanted him dead because the black suit Spidey sank to the level of killing him. Brock wanted him dead because the black suit Parker cost him his career, dream/life and stole his girlfriend. The black suit itself wanted Spidey dead for rejecting him. And the black suit Spidey had left Harry Osborne for dead, this was his only hope but he came through anyways. Had he not came to help Spidey, the black suit would have been the cause of that and Parker would have died. The suit even cost Parker Mary Jane in a lot of ways, and she was all he had left to fight for.
There was one main enemy, and that was Parker himself and the black suit. All the other characters were causes and effects.
There weren't too many villians. Goblin was a pre-existing character, the dynamic between him and Parker just changed. Sandman was used to move the plot in the first act, and Venom was used to up the stakes along with Sandman in the second.
The suit itself was the main protagonist, and Parkers alter ego.
That was the style of the story.



A lot did go on, but they were treating this as a grand finale. It wasn't that bloated. It did have a lot of substance, maybe a tad too much. A few executions were a little off. I didn't like how Sandmans origin was just random and sudden. But it was hardly a bad movie. It was actually a very good one, and the pacing was fine. Gripes with "emo shit" and "making Venom a pussy" aren't founded as flaws, they're just personal opinions.

-"too many relationships, feelings and betrayals" Oh yea, this is a comic book movie.
