10 Great Comic Book Movie Performances You Might Have Missed

2. Topher Grace as Eddie Brock/Venom, Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Spider-Man 3 Disco Spidey isn't ever going to be a memory that you'l look back on fondly. The black costume does, however, find its way to a more interesting character. Sam Raimi hated Venom and so did most of the audience after how little screen time he got in this wildly fluctuating entry in Spidey's movie canon. As much, though, as Eddie Brock wasn't quite his 616 version, Grace made the best of a badly underwritten part. The transformation scene alone is worth the price of admission, and the thought of what a real game of cat and mouse between Venom and Spidey could have been is tantalising enough to earn Topher a place on this list. Anti-Tobey is worth your time.
