The new movie “Madame Web” has achieved a new high as far as an idea, story, and screenplay that are so bad, there should be a documentary created just to try and figure out why garbage this horrendous was ever created and then greenlighted into a motion picture that costs millions of dollars to produce.
Madame Web stars Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb, in a role that could represent some level of complete career suicide. Anyone who would read this terrible screenplay, written by no less than 4 screenwriters and take this role anyway, has to wonder about either their decision-making ability or reading comprehension. There is no contiguous, or understandable story anywhere within this mess of two hours. This very bad movie just jumps from one scene to the next scene, without any rhyme or reason.
The entire premise about a woman in 1973 bitten by a spider while pregnant giving her unborn child the ability to see a few minutes into the future – steals from Spiderman and the series of Final Destination movies – that were about cheating death and later death getting its revenge. Within the first 30 minutes, any viewer of this disaster no longer cares about what is going on or even why, and are all just waiting for this nightmare of bad movie-making to be over. The only reason to see this amazingly bad film is to be stunned at just how bad it all is.
This film also stars rising young actresses, Isabela Merced, Sydney Sweeney and Celeste O’Connor – in three roles that imply future female super-hero-spider movies that given this movie accident will never happen.
One of the best reviews I have seen so far about this amazingly bad film is from critic Kevin Maher: "In its sheer mind-boggling awfulness, it represents the death of the superhero genre, the burning of the superhero genre to the ground and then the returning in the middle of the night to piss on the superhero genre’s ashes."
The IMDB rating for this mess is 3.8 and the Rotten Tomatoes rating of 13% is not low enough, with my rating a 0% because there is absolutely nothing worth seeing within these two hours. One of the worst movies I have ever seen.
