Madame Web currently holds a 14 percent critics score (which is somehow below the score that Morbius received) and a 55 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, as well as a C+ CinemaScore from audiences. And yet those low ratings don't seem to capture just how bad and how absurd this movie really is.
Madame Web is one of the worst superhero movies ever made! It has terrible writing, characters, action setpieces and even acting. Dakota Johnson is so dull and boring as the main lead but this is probably down to the terrible script.
There aren't many Spider-Man references — to its detriment
Though "Madame Web" is set in the "Spider-Man" universe, this is truly a standalone movie. "This film is an attempt to find some sort of kinship — at worst in the story, and at best at the box office — with other 'Spider-Man' films.
While some fans tend to be hard on recent superhero movies, Madame Web has already received plenty of criticism. From a poor script to nonsensical plot points and unlikeable characters, Marvel fans have come up with plenty of valid reasons to dislike the new movie.
As envisioned in the comic books, Madame Web is not a villain. Instead, she's a hero who fittingly aids Spider-Man using her clairvoyant abilities. In the comics, Madame Web's real name is Cassandra Webb, and her psychic powers are due to her being a mutant like the X-Men.
The worst element of the film is its screenplay, which will not surprise anybody who watched the trailer and heard the line: “He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died.” While that ridiculous line didn't end up in the actual movie, the script is still full of bizarre ...
If you thought “Morbius” was a flop, you're not gonna wanna watch “Madame Web.” The writing was cheesy, the timeline was hard to follow, the movie was too fast-paced and the acting was awful.
In writing about Manara's painting, in which the hero appears to be flashing an entire city's skyline while wearing no more than body paint, Vox wondered "Why Marvel gave us a sexualized Spider-Woman no one asked for." Elle put it plainly: "The image seems to toe the line of pornographic." The Guardian in the U.K. ...
The Madame Web film has no real ties to any other universe, including the one where Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Morbius take place. Likewise, any connection to Tom Holland's Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man or Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man were supposedly removed from the movie.
The superhero film starring Dakota Johnson is the origin story of Cassandra “Cassie” Webb who is later known as Madame Web. However, the film introduces Julia Cornwall (Sydney Sweeney), Mattie Franklin (Celeste O'Connor), and Ayna Corazón (Isabela Merced), who eventually become different iterations of Spider-Women.
Madame Web may have flopped during its run in cinemas, but the superhero film has seemingly found an audience following its streaming release. The Spider-Man spin-off follows Cassie Webb (Dakota Johnson), a paramedic who develops abilities as a clairvoyant after suffering an accident.
Audience scores for both movies are more positive than critic scores, but there is no full consensus yet on the quality of Madame Web. Morbius is considered worse than Madame Web due to its poor pacing, lack of developed characters, and excessive focus on exposition.
Tahar Rahim plays Ezekiel Sims, the villain in Madame Web. He has the power of premonition and wants to stop a group of young women from acquiring their Spider-Women powers.
It's pretty clear that whatever was happening with Ezekiel, it wasn't working for the plot. Or, plot points changed through reshoots and editing, and in an attempt to smooth over those changes, they changed his dialogue — but were not able to reshoot his scenes.
“Madame Web” is its own universe, with a new and unofficial origin story for Peter Parker. I found this to be a fun take on the comics, bringing a sense of youth to the idea of Madame Web, as well as a feeling of feminism. The movie focuses on the origin of Madame Web's feminist girl gang of crimefighters.
Madame Web, which is now in theaters, is an entry in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, a collection of films that take full advantage of the studio's ownership of Spidey film rights even as the main character is primarily making live-action appearances in the Disney-owned Marvel Cinematic Universe where Tom Holland plays him ...
We also meet his sister, Mary Parker (Emma Roberts), who is pregnant. The child she is expecting is Peter Parker, who will eventually become Spider-Man, and the baby is born at the end of the movie. He's never explicitly named, but it's pretty obvious that this is Peter Parker.
Created by Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada, writer Fiona Avery, and artist Mark Brooks, the character made her first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #1 (August 2004). She is the Latina daughter of a Puerto Rican father and a Mexican mother. Anya Corazón was known as the first Araña and then as the third Spider-Girl.
She is a skilled mechanic and designed a spider-bola weapon useful as a swing-line or for tripping and binding opponents. As her father and mother are of Puerto Rican and Mexican descent, respectively, Araña is bilingual, speaking English and Spanish.
He continued: “Are ballet slippers what I would have done? Probably not. But what I like about it is that by making Gwen a ballet dancer, it gives the opportunity to make her move differently than the other Spider heroes. More gracefully and controlled.
Dakota Johnson not surprised 'Madame Web' flopped, says she'll probably 'never do anything like it again' "I don't make sense in that world. And I know that now," Johnson told Bustle. Sony's “Madame Web” is one of the biggest flops in comic book movie history.
Marketing was reported to be 60 million and the film may have actually cost 100M but even if we go with 80+60M then the movie still lost around 90M, which, as you said, is still less than what The Marvels lost.
