The Dakota Johnson-Sydney Sweeney starrer which opened in theaters on 16th February 2024, has been brutally panned by audiences and critics across the world for its indifference performances and listless storyline.
With the film now being available on various streaming platforms, there is a fresh wave of trolling that is being directed towards the movie and the leading stars following a 9-minute clip preceding its streaming debut. Judging by the way netizens are ripping it apart, it looks like there is no redemption in sight for Johnson andMadame Web.
Madame WebInvites Fresh Backlash As it Hits Streaming Platforms

In some scathing remarks, netizens left no stone unturned when they gave the film the dubious distinction of being one of the worst movies of all time. Some viewers even made a joke of it by urging more people to see the chaos for themselves.
Who wouldn’t want to see a movie about a psychic spider-woman with a convoluted backstory and barely any connection to the actual Spider-Man mythos?

While Marvel may have hoped that the film could resurrect itself on streaming platforms, it looks like the opposite is currently happening. It now remains to be seen how the franchise bounces back from this position with many other key projects yet to come in 2024.
Did Dakota Johnson Predict The Downfall OfMadame Web?
From what the star insinuated during the promotions of the film, the visual and technical aspects of the Marvel project may have intimidated her a lot more than she expected. Speaking toEntertainment Weeklyregarding the doubts she had about having done justice to the part, she stated,
“I’ve never really done a movie where you are on a blue screen, and there’s fake explosions going off, and someone’s going, ‘Explosion!’ and you act like there’s an explosion. That to me was absolutely psychotic. I was like, ‘I don’t know if this is going to be good at all! I hope that I did an OK job!’”

The Lost Daughteractor went on to add that she tried to compensate for her fears by working extremely hard with the blue screen to ensure that she was able to turn in a realistic performance. Unfortunately, her efforts have proved to be in vain.
Madame Webcan be rented on Apple TV.
