Video Review – Madame Web is deliciously messy trash

February 14, 2024 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno with a video review of Sony’s Madame Web…

Sony’s latest Spider-Man movie without Spidey, Madame Web, is messy, but it’s a perfect kind of mess. As we are flushed with self-serious superhero films, we need more of these types of movies.

For the ecosystem of comic book movies, we need earnestly cheesy films like this to keep things afloat. Something about this mess just won me over.

“Meanwhile, in another universe…” In a switch from the typical genre, Madame Web tells the standalone origin story of one of Marvel publishing’s most enigmatic heroines. The suspense-driven thriller stars Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic in Manhattan who may have clairvoyant abilities. Forced to confront revelations about her past, she forges a relationship with three young women destined for powerful futures…if they can all survive a deadly present.

Directed by S.J. Clarkson (The Defenders), Madame Web stars Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb, Sydney Sweeney as Julia Carpenter, Isabela Merced as Anya Corazon, Celeste O’Connor as Mattie Franklin, and Tahar Rahim as Ezekiel Sims.

Madame Web is now playing in cinemas.
