What is the Marvel movie "Madame Web", which has a chance to become the worst in 2024?

On February 14, a long-awaited movie from Marvel and Sony Pictures titled Madame Web starring Dakota Johnson was released in Ukraine. The new comic book-based movie, which is connected to the Spider-Man universe, surprised fans of the genre when they watched the first trailer.

However, not in a positive way: as soon as Madame Web was released in Ukraine, foreign critics had already done their work. In their reviews, the main idea, which was well formulated by Rolling Stone, is clearly traced: "Madame Web is not as bad as you've heard. It's much worse."

Why were Marvel fans and movie critics dissatisfied with the new spinoff? First of all, because the trailer does not coincide with the events in the movie. Of course, the plot remains unchanged: the main character Cassie Webb (Dakota Johnson) is a paramedic from New York who discovers the power to see the future.

It all has to do with her mother's research on Amazonian spiders, after which the woman died, leaving her daughter alone. Cassie has to protect three teenage girls, with whom she is suddenly brought together by fate, from a spider villain.

However, in the trailer for the movie, you will find only twisted phrases of the heroine that will not be heard in the movie. In addition, fans drew attention to the chaos in the scenes - they were not very connected and resembled a parody filmed specifically for an American evening show.

According to critics, "the movie did not meet even the slightest expectations". It's worth noting that Madame Web takes place in a completely different dimension, where no one knows about Spider-Man, although according to the canon, she is his assistant.

As for the movie itself, it is obvious that the author presented it as a "suspense thriller". But in the end, this label does Madame Web more harm than good: not only because there is absolutely no suspense or thrill, but also because the viewer automatically associates it with a superhero story.

According to The Guardian, everything in the movie looks implausible. "The movie is equally poor, with terrible effects, lame action and nonsensical dialog, and its characters drown in poorly written exposition," the review says.

According to the movie review site Rotten Tomatoes, Madame Web has a 17% rating, while Morbius, the predecessor to Cassie Web and the third film in Sony's Spider-Man universe, has a 15% rating. Therefore, the new story about a superheroine from New York risks becoming the most unsuccessful of Marvel's recent works and even receive the title of "the worst movie of 2024".
