Madame Web

Damn, we're already milking early 2000s culture to trigger the dopamine buttons? Sometimes I wonder how blockbusters in the future will try to evoke the current era. How do you copy an era that's almost nothing but nostalgia, an era that coasts almost entirely on recycling stale ideas, IP and music from 20 to 40 years ago? _Madame Web_ finds itself at a similar creative dead end. Why does Sony keep persisting on reviving this wave of forgotten B-movies from the early 2000s? I had some fun with _Venom_ because of Tom Hardy's ridiculous performance, but I see no artistic merit with this or _Morbius_. It feels like everyone involved is several degrees of incompetent, or they simply didn't care. In fact, I probably already put more effort into this review than these screenwriters did with their script, so I see no reason to analyze this any further. Avoid at all cost. 1/10

Movie isn't as bad as everyone says it is. Treat it like an origin story movie that sets the scene for a larger universe... Yes, first hour is pretty slow and at times the dialogue is clunky but you can still find enjoyment out of the film.
