Glad you asked. It’s all about pacing. Let me explain.
The early parts have been very good in the way the events unfolded, especially in pace. The changes in the scenes and the development of the characters had been slow and deliberate. This led to an experience where one can see how close to reality such events can be. Take for example the first fight between Harry and Peter. It was a long chase, and we got Harry bumping his head as he fell. Eventually Peter rushes him to the hospital and Harry gets the nice old short term memory loss. That kind of pace, up to the point where MJ visits Harry to the hospital, is something that is very much possible in real life, if not f0r the web slinging and the flying board.
So, what about the out-of-pace storytelling events? One is when Venom approaches Sandman for his help, which is a lot like the way Spiderman approached Harry to help rescue MJ. Those events happened in just one stop. Turning point in the whole movie that was rendered in no more than 2 minutes. That raises the question, “did the produces rush the last part?”. I would understand if that was the same pace that was going on in the early part of the movie, though that would really suck. Another example is when Harry ambushed MJ to make her break up with Peter. All in less than 20 minutes, and it is a huge turnaround for an event.
I would recommend that movie makers be sensitive and maintain adequate pacing in the way the story unfolds. Not rush things just to get to the climax of prepare for it. I am not saying that this can never happen in real life, but god this was a movie – at least they should have done it for aesthetic appeal.
Oh, I forgot to warn about spoilers.
