"I didn't set out to do anything specifically other than I knew I wanted to make a psychological thriller," the director explained.
Dakota Johnson lazily leads an incompetent attempt to set up a new character, made almost incoherent by last-minute changes.
Sony digs deep into the Spider-Man archives to find 'Madame Web,' a fringe character with ill-defined powers and nothing especially interesting to do.
In the actual film, newly clairvoyant paramedic Cassie Web (Dakota Johnson) does not say โhe was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders ...
In other words, her wheelhouse is not a D-tier superhero flick from the part of Marvel that isn't actually connected to its overarching โcinematic universe.โ.
Madame Web is not the unmitigated disaster that its clunky trailer or its calendar spot in February would suggest.
The final version of Madame Web might look very different than the original version of the movie that was pitched to star Dakota Johnson.
