Sony's ongoing Spider-Verse plans may have hit a more serious speed bump than ever - yes, including Morbius. The recent addition, Madame Web, has been hammered with extremely negative critical reviews ahead of its first weekend.
The debut of Sony's Madame Web took place Monday night after the film's premiere in Los Angeles, and initial reactions have already flooded social media such as X (formerly Twitter). The film introduced not one but four spider-themed characters to cinemas, but the debut isn't looking too good for our heroines.
While Madame Web boasts some well-executed action sequences, the film's narrative and individual performances have come under heavy scrutiny. Its lead star, Dakota Johnson, has become a particular point of contention among critics.
The main issues that critics have pointed out so far are the lack of engaging performances, character backstories failing to achieve emotional resonance, and the overall movie struggling to maintain coherence within its own plot.
