I like a lot of your ideas there. But I think that might be too much for one film. The 3rd film should probably end after the big battle.
The 4th film could then begin with flashes of Spiderman losing control to the symbiote, getting rid of it with Connor's help, and the rise of Venom.
I could also see if they completely ignored the "black suit" saga for the 3rd film and incorporated that somehow into the 4th-5th films (if they do them).
One of the main problems of ending Spiderman 3 with him using the symbiote is that the black suit might confuse a lot of more "casual" Spiderman fans. I would bet that a lot of people out there aren't even aware of this whole part of Spiderman history...

Point taken. I too think the 3rd film should end after the 3rd battle, although a lot like the 2nd did, with the battle, and a scene or two afterwards to wrap things up. I'd have no problem (and now that I think about it, I think I'd like it better) if, rather than Pete having the symbiote for the final battle in the third movie, just have him, Gobby, and the Lizard duke it out. Spidey then takes an unconscious Lizard to Connor's lab (where the black goo that they hadn't had time to check out yet is stored) and works out a way to cure him. Have the Lizard gain consciousness briefly, a small skirmish ensues, some of the black goo gets on Pete's costume, and then the scene with Pete in bed. Heck, they could even forget about the fight in the lab and just have Connors knock over whatever was containing the symbiote during his transformation back from being the Lizard.
I just think they need to intro the symbiote, even in some small way, before Venom is anywhere near being in the picture. And, although the first two movies haven't been cliffhangers in the strictest sense, they did leave me wondering what was going to happen next. I think a final scene with Pete in the black costume, not knowing how or why he got where he was, would make a great ending for the film.
Then start the 4th film with Pete trying to find out what this thing that's bonded itself to him is, getting rid of it, etc.
I think it's a shame that Raimi has expressed little interest in the Venom character. Even though he's not my personal favorite, I think a character like Venom is right up Raimi's alley.
