Negative impressions dominate Madame Web early shows

As the film premiered, social media was filled with fans criticising the Dakota Johnson film. One user called the film ‘lacklustre’ and compared it to Marvel’s previous film Morbius which also received poor reviews. The user wrote, “#MadameWeb Review. This makes Morbius look like a 10/10 film. Poor acting, story, and very lackluster action. They try to do everything they can without putting Spider-Man in the movie and it’s painfully obvious. Villain is terrible. Awful movie. Adam Scott was alright. 2/10.” 

Another reviewer slammed Sony Pictures for “letting” the film be made this way. The post read, “I don’t understand how Sony allowed Madame Web to be made the way it is. They got all this money and that’s what they put together?? Also, the marketing is horribly misleading. I’m at a loss for words.”

A social media user simply labelled the film as “terrible”. Taking to their X account the user wrote, “Crazy thing is that madam web has a dope concept as a character but again no direction or point of any type of conclusion. No Post credit scene?!  Terrible. More in the review tomorrow !”

Madame Web fans urge netizens to watch the film with an open mind

A user urged netizens not to be influenced by the negative reviews of the film. The post read, “The movie was absolutely a treat to watch. Don’t be influenced with the reviews! Give it a try!!”
