To say that the Madame Web project was doomed well before its release is an understatement. It must be said that since its inception and from the first trailers, there was a sweet scent of a catastrophic film. A Spider-Man spin-off without Spider-Man, with characters unknown to the general public, needless to say, it was a slippery slope. Now that the film is out, and Sony Pictures has tried as best it can to hide it from the press and its audience (no press screenings or public previews scheduled), we can see the disaster, but also the fraud. Because yes, it’s close to false advertising. Explanations.
Very sincerely, we don’t know where to start with this Madame Web critique, as the result is surreal. Nothing goes right in the film. The story is as boring as it can be, with nonexistent narration, a montage that is so incoherent it feels like it was made by a beginner, the direction is also flat, the action scenes are reduced to two completely failed sequences, the special effects are terrible, the dialogues are so silly that we wonder if they weren’t generated by ChatGPT, and to top it off, the actors give the feeling of never believing in the project. In short, it’s a catastrophe, but we’ll still try to dissect this project that seems to have been validated haphazardly by the people at Sony Pictures who don’t seem to believe in this spin-off with Spider-Women. We’re going to assume that you won’t go see this film, so we can talk to you freely, explaining why it’s a failure from head to toe, so there will be spoilers. Anyway, there’s nothing to save in this film. On the other hand, we can help you save 10 euros. And in these times of inflation, that’s already something.
