Critics Slam Dakota Johnson's Madame Web Film: A Marvel Movie Miss

Dakota Johnson - S.J. Clarkson - Sydney Sweeney

Dakota Johnson's Madame Web movie receives harsh criticism for its premise and acting. Dive into the tangled web of mixed reviews surrounding this Marvel spin-off.

Madame Web, starring Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney, faces fierce backlash with one-star reviews critiquing both the storyline and performances. Directed by S.J. Clarkson, the film aimed to be a psychological thriller but fell short of expectations. Sony's deep dive into Spider-Man lore with Madame Web leaves audiences unimpressed, citing a lack of compelling content and character development. Following the lukewarm reception of 'The Marvels,' Madame Web was set to be the MCU's new women-led venture, yet initial reactions question its success. With a star-studded cast including Isabela Merced and Tahar Rahim, the film's narrative struggles to engage viewers, leading to a cluttered and confusing storyline. Dakota Johnson's portrayal of the clairvoyant paramedic fails to salvage the messy plot, resulting in a disappointing Marvel entry.
