After deciding not to have a multimedia critic screening, Sony’s premiere of Madame Web took place in Los Angeles last night and the first reactions are in ahead of the film’s debut tomorrow.
Despite Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney reportedly putting in good performances, the comic book blockbuster has been slammed by influencers and reviewers who attended.
The apparent turkey of a movie is another Spider-Man spin-off solo movie (without Peter Parker) following the critically panned likes of Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Morbius.
Check out the first mostly dire reactions for the new non-MCU Marvel outing below.
Cris Parker
Madame Web is an embarrassing mess. Talented stars wasted on probably the worst comic book movie I have ever seen. Filled with atrocious dialogue, awkward editing, & all around laughable structure. I sat there baffled scene by scene someone approved this. The memes will redeem it
Matt Ramos
Morbius was better
The Hollywood Handle
Madame Web is a clunky, poorly-written, messy, and sloppy movie packed with some mediocre editing and performances. Even though it had solid cinematography and an interesting concept, it couldn’t be saved due to its terrible execution.
Fanverse
I watched Madame Web and it was bad. I tried to give it a chance but sadly the poor execution didn’t help it. The cast was awesome but the performances were definitely disappointing…
Darth Ro
I was not, unfortunately, successfully entertained. Madame Web is a series of misses and wasted opportunities and not just for obvious reasons…
Coco
Madame Web is yet another disappointing entry in the Sony Universe. Dakota Johnson is a stand-out, but unfortunately that’s not the case for the rest of the cast. Not as bad as I expected it to be, but it sadly falls short of what could have been a decent movie. 2/5
Screen Rant
Unfortunately for me, Madame Web lacked the spark it needed in nearly every dept: writing, acting, action sequences. There are a few good moments with an excellent overall pacing, but gees was this hard to get through.
Full Circle Cinema
Madame Web is totally fine. There’s really not a lot to say here. The leads are charming. Dakota Johnson is a witchy weirdo. The slasher/FINAL DESTINATION meets superheroes vibes are there. But there’s just not a whole lot to it. Not a disaster. Just kinda there.
The Illuminerdi
Madame Web exceeds expectations! Some of the dialog is cheesy AF, some heavy-handed product placement, and probably couldve been tidied up a bit more. But the cast really work magic with what they had, their chemistry is a lot of fun, and the suits look great
Madame Web hits cinemas tomorrow.
