if they stick to the comic, and make him the sick, twisted, and demented fuck he is, then everything will be ok. if they choose to make him campy, like nicholson, then it will be a disappointment. the problem with most comic book movies, except batman begins in certain ways, is that they make the villians softer for the general audience. comic book fans know that the joker is just an insane murderer, capable of making jeffery dahmer look like santa clause. but i also understand having to appeal to a wide audience. the only reason sandman was in spidey 3 was because they need a soft villian that people felt sorry for, to offset venom, whose character was played way down to please the kiddie viewers.
