## **Madame Web (2024) Review: A Catastrophic Failure on Every Conceivable Level - 1/10** To call *Madame Web* a movie feels like an act of generosity. It is less a narrative film and more a corporate-approved collection of scenes haphazardly stitched together, devoid of soul, coherence, or basic competence. Walking in with zero expectations is no shield; its profound awfulness is so comprehensive it becomes an almost impressive feat of filmmaking malpractice. ### A Symphony of Failure This isn't a film with one or two flaws; it is a masterclass in how to fail at every single element of the cinematic process: * **Casting & Acting:** The casting is baffling, pairing talented actors with a script that gives them nothing but wooden dialogue and motivations that change between scenes. The performances range from visibly bored to wildly over-the-top, with no one seeming to be in the same movie... or even the same dimension. * **Dialogue:** The script is a relentless assault of exposition, clunky one-liners, and lines so unnatural they feel generated by an AI trained on discarded soap opera transcripts. Characters don't converse; they announce plot points and then stop talking. * **Plot

Is Madame Web the worst superhero movie ever made? Not by a longshot as Superman IV, Batman & Robin and Supergirl would take a front seat in that department. Now the argument can be made it's the worst in the modern era of superhero movies, though personally it's "better" than Suicide Squad but even that one had costumed heroes in it versus MW which only had maybe a few minutes of the ladies in their costumes and even then, it's via future visions. Beyond that, nothing really works. The direction, even with the twisty-turny camera movements felt familiar as I'm pretty sure I've seen it done before but minimally. The performances from everyone was either bland, Dakota Johnson especially, or downright awful (Tahar Rahim), not helped by the stilted and oft atrocious dialogue from no less than four writers, two of which were responsible for Morbius. I didn't hate Madame Web more so that I found it downright dull and boring. There's no reason to watch this and with the terrible box office, the last line of "And you know the best thing about the future? It hasn't happened yet" is pretty poignant. **2.0/5**

Ouch, that average rating! I'm not going to lie though, I genuinely had a fun time watching <em>'Madame Web'</em>... perhaps I should be keeping that fact quiet? I don't know what to say, I found it to be suitably entertaining. I'm sure there are plot holes aplenty (I noticed a few) and it probably makes zero sense/isn't a good adaptation compared to its source material or whatever but honesty... I don't care, it gave me enough enjoyment that I wasn't questioning anything about what I was watching. The cast are probably the key factors as to why I did enjoy this. I previously knew of Dakota Johnson but hadn't actually seen her in anything properly, I found her performance to be more than noteworthy and she spearheads the film strongly. The trio of Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced and Celeste O'Connor are positives too. Tahar Rahim's antagonist, meanwhile, is poorly written and portrayed, though I personally thought the actor did a good job. I have no complaints with anyone who appears onscreen to be honest. Away from them, the pacing and score are also standouts. In my recollection of viewing this, I truthfully haven't got any issues with it. If it wasn't for the slight bad murmurs t
