Netflix Sony's Madame Web 🕸

Web of Woe

PRAISE: SONY continues to try to make flicks about Spider-Man villains and allies in this movie about Cassandra Webb a New York City paramedic who starts to show signs of clairvoyance and attempts to protect three young women from a sinister character. At least the character Ezekiel portrayed by Tahar Rahim was interesting. I actually got on board with what he was trying to do and at least some interesting things play out in his story arc. Some of the visuals were fun. Some scenes were interesting although very very brief.

PROBLEMS: There are definitely some hokey and unintentionally funny scenes in the flick. The plot holes are as large as the Sun. Dakota Johnson as Madame Web ....the things she does were as inconsistent as her powers. The acting and dialogue is beyond wooden in several scenes.
I thought it was silly how the flick dances around major things that are connected to Spider-Man which made me question why include them in the plot in the first place? Just because SONY can? The flick collects all of these characters portrayed by Sydney Sweeney · Julia Cornwall and Isabela Merced but doesn't really do anything with them and I think whoever decided to display the characters the way they are in this flick is the king or queen of bad decisions.
I actually laughed when I noticed that something that was done in the TV show Smallville when they didn't want to spend money on costumes is also done in this flick. The flick doesn't follow up on certain things and I guess I was just supposed to forget about them. This flick would have worked better as a horror movie, just remove the Marvel characters include a crazy slasher and use the characters that were in the diner.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 3

This movie didn't need to be made from the start. I stayed up to an hour before I left out. It just took this movie too long to start getting to the point. Some of the ideas just made no sense to me. You got a guy stalking 3 young women they escape but Cassie leaves them in the woods? Really? Then the villain has surveillance technology but his assistant can't find the girls?

Mike Epps is cool but damn bruh he couldn't get another movie to be in besides this one...

I probably won't be back to the theater until at least Summer b/c the 2024 movie schedule not looking good so far.
 
The current mood on the Sony lot is gloomy, an insider says. The studio has certainly had notable wins under movie chief Tom Rothman’s tenure, including the Oscar-nominated Spider-Verse series and the live-action Venom (a third Venom, starring Tom Hardy, is due out Nov. 8). Rothman is known for keeping a close watch over budgets and it has been widely reported that Madame Web cost $80 million, but the actual number is in the low $100 million range, according to several sources. Still, that’s far less than the $200 to $300 million routinely spent by Marvel or DC.
 
I mean, there is some truth to it
and people's reluctance to acknowledge it is part of the problem

I mean you dont have to look very far when you see shit like "Marvel considering making Silver Surfer a woman"
Or even the fact they tried to entertain the idea of having Mina Kunis as The Thing
and then you have to ask yourself "For what" lol

Marvel has a rich history of dope women characters, you dont have to force feed certain things just for the sake of appealing to the feminine audience. Or making certain characters a different race, which isnt really a huge issue as long as you dont overdo it. Marvel ALREADY had women pullin up in droves like everybody else lol
