What? Spiderman 3's Venom origin was basically straight out of the comics. I'm a little fuzzy on the specifics since I've mostly blocked that awful movie out, but Brock repeatedly gets screwed by Peter and/or Spiderman, is webbed down below when Spiderman forces his way out of the symbolbiotic and it drips down onto him and bonds with him.

Do you have even the slightest familiarity with comic books? Sandman's origin was more or less straight out of the comics as well, as was his appearance. Cletus Kasady was a 140 pound serial killer that became Carnage when the Venom symbolbiotic gave birth.

Eh, I think it can work fine. I mean yeah it's weird not having the Spiderman tie-in, but Brock was constantly going back and forth between villain and anti-hero so jumping straight to an anti-hero version of him isn't that big of a stretch, even if most of his time as an anti-hero was while bonded with the Anti-Venom or Toxin symbiotes. Be more interesting to see an anti-hero descend into outright villainy rather than another villain semi-reforming into an anti-hero.

Not sure if they'll throw in Carnage for the name recognition, but the story almost point-for-point seems to set up the Five Symbiote thing .. e.g. that Foundation group "forcing" people to bond with a Symbiote resulting in slightly weaker, more one-note versions of Venom.

It would interesting if they eventually broke out the symbiote-eating Phage in another movie.

According to new Comic Con footage: it's going to be funny and violent and dark.
Hurrah! Venom's going to murder people graphically so as long as he kills like 100 guys it'll be worthwhile, probably. Also said he won't have the spider on his chest b/c he's not at all connected to Spiderman so it wouldn't make sense.

Hmmm. OK. Couple amazing scenes in there (like the giant blades). Not sure if I dig how Tom Hardy is portraying Eddie Brock, but I guess it makes sense if you isolate him outside of the Spider-Man universe and that whole correlation. The voice is weird, though after Bane, it could be a lot worse.
