I'd probably never watch it again but it was better than Frogman Same experience as well having watched it last night. Was it horrible? Not really. Did it need to be made? That's where Sony is missing the boat so badly is they are throwing some of these films out there without a clear destination. Was this also a victim of 'girl power' backlash? Probably. With the antagonist primarily being a man (there is a female conspirator not thoroughly explained), and four ladies working together to overcome his threat. With the Ben Parker twist... Spoiler Hints to his newborn son being Peter Parker ...that only adds to the confusion where was Sony thinking this was going.

kimik Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 What are the terms of the deal with Marvel for the Spider-Man properties. My guess is that is driving some of these decisions as well. Use the characters or lose them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I'm sure Marvel Studios/Disney is chomping at the bit to get Madame Web back, especially now after this cinematic masterpiece.

The main motivation for Gwenpool not being Gwen Stacy and instead made into a different character altogether by Marvel, so that Sony could be deprived of usage rights.

the blob Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I watched this on Netflix and i have to say I didn't think it was terrible. Better than Morbius for sure. It did need a script doctor though and the big tease with the 3 spidergirls is silly as there will be no sequel. I like pie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauce Dog Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 This was awful, and yes there are worse things like Morbius, but nothing redeeming in this either that made me want to continue to give it my time after 45ish minutes. The ADR was absolutely overdone and distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I'm hoping to watch it this week since it's free on Netflix. For those that have watched both - between this and The Marvels which one is worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually more disappointed with the Marvels because I had higher expectations, but the plot was a bit less of a mess. I actually thought Dakota Johnson wasn't terrible, but I like her as an actress. Sidney Sweeney was wasted. Madame Web definitely did not feel like a movie with an $80-100 million budget. It felt like 2 episodes of a WB super hero show, maybe one with a bit more effects like Supergirl or Flash. The Marvels felt like a Marvel TV show with 45 minutes of filler fluff added. That it cost $200+ million to make is astonishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
