Most people cringed at Emo Peter Parkers bizarre dancing scene. It was completely against what everybody knew about the character and it seemed like it added very little to the film. But it was important - it showed us that the symbiote was altering Peter and changing his personality. Rather than the dorky kid who had graced screens before, he was now confident and outgoing, while as Spider-Man he was growing extremely violent. By juxtaposing the nice guy image against this new personality it became clear that the symbiote was changing the titular hero on a deeper level. Likewise bringing a character like Venom to screen was never going to be easy - he is Spider-Mans most formidable and recognisable foe, so it was inevitable this take would disappoint some viewers. There were some scenes that let the film down, but they are not so bad that they discredit the overwhelmingly good ones.
