Well, it seems the disaster of Morbius wasn't enough for Sony and their Spider-Man Cinematic Universe. Madame Web is Sony's latest attempt at expanding their Spider-Verse and while there was potential to make a self-contained psychological thriller about found family and trauma, the film we got...let's just say Madame Web is a DISASTER. Hell, Madame Web is so bad it's good! Madame Web is a DISASTERPIECE. Madame Web is not only a bad movie, Madame Web is one of the worst comic book movies of all time and the primary reason has to do with the fact that Sony didn't have an ounce of care for the character and is entirely too obsessed with building out a mythology for Spider-Man when he doesn't need one. It robs the character of everything that makes him, him. However, it's therefore strange that I walked away, dare I say, enjoying Madame Web? I liked Madame Web for all of the wrong reasons, but perhaps there's something to the idea of a piece of art that is so ill-conceived, so cynical and shameless, that it backfires into becoming something hilariously great. Dakota Johnson KNEW she was making trash and so her self awareness assists in making Madame Web, a movie that is so deathly self-serious with one of the worst comic book villains ever put to screen, amusing to watch. Add in a shameless amount of Pepsi product placement and we have this abomination. Still, there's no denying that Sony simply saw Jared Leto's Morbius as a means to expand spiderman adjacent characters and create a universe that piggybacks off of the mostly solid foundation of the MCU. Hell, even Sydney Sweeney and Dakota Johnson thought they were signing up to be a part of the MCU before Sony pulled the rug out from underneath them. On top of Madame Web being an incredibly cynical piece of content, it hardly does enough to be considered a film. All in all...Madame Web is just another cheap ploy from Sony as they prey upon the goodwill of Spider-Man fans. Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his Madame Web review and explains Sony's HUGE Spider-Man Problem, how Madame Web played Spider-Man fans, why Madame Web is BAD, and maybe why Madame Web is the worst comic book film of all time, yet is hilariously entertaining. Kevin Feige...RUN!
