Just left the theater. If you aren’t insulted because you paid for a ticket expecting to see a real movie you will find this hilarious. I was laughing my ass off in the theater. It’s so bad it’s honestly unbelievable that something like this can get made and released in what is now the year of our lord 2024. Way more enjoyable than something like Morbius which is just so boring it hurts.
I saw a review that described the plot as the bad guy trying to kill three girls because he had a dream in which they killed him and Madame Web trying to stop them because she had a dream in which he kills them.

The movie won't make any sense to anyone that sees it. It is insanely surface levelI saw a review that described the plot as the bad guy trying to kill three girls because he had a dream in which they killed him and Madame Web trying to stop them because she had a dream in which he kills them.

I have no intention of seeing this but now that a friend described as "a movie that feels like its script was written by ChatGPT" now I kinda wanna get drunk and watch it with a buddy.

It's definitely a movie you can laugh at

Madame Web may not be an entirely good movie, but it's got some redeeming qualities to make it an entertaining guilty pleasure.

It's crazy that Sony green lights great movies like the animated ones with Miles Morales while simultaneously giving the green light for movies like Morbius and Madame Web.
The Venom movies are also trash but at least a person like Tom Hardy makes them somewhat watchable. There is no such thing in this movie.

Sony striving to release a superhero version of “The Room”. Good times.

Basically a modern version of this for movies if I had to guess. "Comic book universes are in! Lets make as many movies as we can!"
What I have heard from a few online reviewers is that this isn't even one of those so bad it's good type of movies. It's so bad it's bad with nothing enjoyable about it. They were saying Morbius had some fun bad moments but Madame Web, not so much.
Apparently there is little actual action in this movie with barely any fight scenes. The three young Spider-Women only appear in costumes near the very end of the movie. I have also heard the characters have zero personality and no character arcs. Their dialogue largely consists of exposition dumps throughout the movie.
As for the writers, how these guys continue to have jobs writing for big budget movies is beyond me. All their movies have been panned and outside of Dracula Untold, all of their movies have flopped at the theatre losing substantial amounts of money.

I was laughing just because the dialogue and editing are so bad it honestly feels unreal. I seriously don't think I can think of a worse movie I've seen in the movie theater.What I have heard from a few online reviewers is that this isn't even one of those so bad it's good type of movies.

There's definitely very little action in the movie. I definitely don't think this is a film that can be given the superhero genre. The 3 Spider-Women only wear their suits in 2 visions, the one the main villain has of them killing him, and then another one in the final scene of the movie, probably for less than a minute combined. Showing them in their suits in the advertising should be illegal. Absolutely nothing about this movies plotlines make any sense, nor is it ever explained at all. They never explain why the villain is a villain at all, why the spider-women want to kill them, how they become spider-women, or really anything else about the central characters.
Best review I saw was "Madame Web is the worst thing to happen to Spider-Man since Uncle Ben's death".

Bad actors + bad script + no real connection to Spider Man + skeptical attitude towards female led superhero movies = what did you think would happen?

You'd think that the lesson that Sony should've taken from Venom and Morbius is that you can make a nice profit off of a bad movie, but it has to involve a character that the general public has to actually care about first.
People like Venom. Nobody cares about Morbius (other than the meme) or Madame Web outside of small comic book circles.

Certainly not alleviating any skeptical attitudes of said female led superhero movies.
To be fair, I think that skepticism has bled over into just plain all superhero movies over the past couple years....

They're just the best people for the job. It's that simple. Every job in Hollywood is based on merit.As for the writers, how these guys continue to have jobs writing for big budget movies is beyond me. All their movies have been panned and outside of Dracula Untold, all of their movies have flopped at the theatre losing substantial amounts of money.

They've written 5 movies and 25% is the highest RT critic score of the lot. The rest averaged 15%. To say that they were the best people for the job suggests that no one else could've done a better job.
Not even the audience liked any but one, and only one (their first) actually made any money. These guys are clearly not continuing to get major writing jobs on the basis of merit.

I imagined you would have picked up on the clear bait that I put out there.
"The best person for the job" or something along those lines isn't a thing that's real in any field. I long for never hearing that phrase ever used when someone is announced for a movie but I know I will. Under certain circumstances at least.
All that being said, I can't believe anyone actually went to see this movie as it was a clear attempt at a money grab by Sony.
I considered that you were being sarcastic, but I didn't want to laugh at it or ask if you were serious on the off chance that you were, so I just replied as if you were to see if you doubled down or not. I'm glad that you weren't serious.
