How can Madame Web possibly be so bad? Let's dissect:
- I had the misfortune to see this in IMAX and it makes the vision scenes even worse, causing a jolt every time they happen with ridiculous loud noises and shaky cam. It was like a really bad episode of That's So Raven.
- How studio executives could watch the opening 10 minutes of this and think the amazon stuff was good enough is mind-boggling.
- Tahar Rahim is the worst comic book villian that has ever been put on screen. His line delivery is dreadful to the point it makes you wonder if he was going out his way to play stereotypical villian A.
- Dakota Johnson clearly was very awkward playing against the green screen and would give Kristen Stewart in Twilight a run for her money in terms of stilted performance.
- The product placement in this movie is something to behold. Never in my life have i seen a product endorsed so blatantly like the Pespi endorsements. Having Dakota Johnson hold a can of Pespi for a solid two minutes of screen time is ludicrous.
- S. J. Clarkson the director is simply not experienced enough to tackle such a big budget movie with so much green screen. For this to be her first movie and handed a property like this. Crazy.
- All the stuff relating to the Parkers, especially Ben, is done so heavy handed. Having Adam Scott playing Ben Parker is so ridiculous and does nothing to help the film.
- No one comes out of this with any dignity, even Sydney Sweeney is awful in a rather mute role. She is given nothing to do and doesn't get a moment to stand out either.
- The end scene with Dakota Johnson & Tahar Rahim and the close up as she says "i am" in relation to his downfall is the worst scene and zoom shot i can recall seeing in a big budget studio movie.
- Not having the Spider-Women in costume (bar in visions) was a strange one. At the end of the movie it eludes to future suit ups but this movie is that bad there will be no chance of that ever occurring.
A shambles of a movie.
