Well angela, what I mean by comparing it to Batman & Robin is that it introduced multiple villains with the idea that more automatically equals better.

There was no story purpose behind it, they just wanted Venom in there to sell toys and get people to the theatre and he was tacked on. Did we really need another Goblin villain with Harry? Sandman turned into a giant Stay Puft Marshmellowman by the end of the movie, which made no sesne whatsoever.
