Don’t worry Sony, I am sure people will line up to see “Kraven” next…
Which is silly because the reason it’s sucked has nothing to do with potential.
It’s the writing. They can’t find a good writer for this stuff despite there likely being a lot of good writers out there. That Venom is at the top of the writing food chain clearly indicates skewed priorities to where the story is not even secondary to to release schedule.
Shoulda gone hard R and has Sydney Sweeney show off her spider-boobs
Thought I might go and see it over the weekend out of boredom. Saw the 3.4 rating on IMDB and decided I wasn’t *that* bored.
Even Dakota couldn’t polish that turd.
Sony doesn’t watch movies or read scripts.. so doesn’t surprise me..
One would hope this would prove the point, but stupid is as stupid does.
Nah Sony killed whatever franchise they were trying to build by being fucking stupid
She has the potential to be a good actor one day. But not starring in crap like this.
Good. They don’t deserve it.
Sony needs to stop trying to milk that hand me down spidey-teet
I don’t get it. This sounded bad from the get go. It was always going to be bad. What was the play here?
A foot in the door and so much more.
Has Sony learned yet. You can’t make a turd, put a licensed title on it, and assume it will always make you money banking on the brand and not the substance. This could have been a movie that was written well, directed well, and had the support from its cast to deliver a quality story. Instead, Sony chases a product and a return on their investment. Nothing else. Well, this is what happens when you do that. Stop making dog shit because people are tired of it. Expecting someone to go to a theater, pay their hard earned money to sit through two hours of actual garbage is insulting to consumers, since to Sony that’s all we are. To Sony we aren’t people who deserve not being treated like we are stupid. They might have gotten away with it a few times, because there are a lot of stupid people who will spend their money on garbage, but even those stupid people have their limits too. If they could only see how much more money could be made if they allowed projects to be great quality. They are leaving money on the table. Not very business savvy if you ask me.
It doesn’t help that Dakota doesn’t seem interested in it. That put me off because I don’t really care for it now either.
They truly need to have a quality control person. Who is letting them release trash after trash. I know MCU is stretched but getting over their consultants or someone to step in.
I’m not really sure what is going on in the minds of studio heads/executives at Sony, if we’re to take this article at face value. Nobody was asking for a Madame Web movie, but they thought it would spawn a new franchise of sequels? After Morbius – another movie nobody asked for?
There was absolutely no legitimate reason for this movie to exist nor any reason for the general public to go see it
When even the trailers look corny, it is pretty clear you got a stinker. Sony should think about quality first, before thinking about the return.
I want to know the original script that got the actresses to choose be in the movie. such a terrible movie that even with the original script it cant be good. The only thing I can think of it just say spiderman a few times and that was enough because they knew the name of spiderman.
The film did exactly what it was intended to do: exercising Sony’s IP rights to prevent them from reverting back to Marvel/Disney
I think that’s okay. Outside of the spider-man co-productions, it’s been a long time since they’ve produced anything worthwhile. Let them return the rights already.
Madame webb feels like a known sabotage..ljke they knew it was gonna fail
I should certainly hope so!
Worse is their writer has a bad track record but they still kept giving him job after job
TIL that Madame Web is a movie and not a Disney+ show.

Stop hiring Morbius writers then, genuises
Honestly if you went to this film not expecting to see a train wreck you missed out. Going in with a few beers in you and laughing at it was fantastic it’s like watching the room or troll 2
Thanks to the Sony and special thanks to Dakota’s PR team who approved unhinged comments she made on the movies .
Shocked pikachu face
I wanted to watch this for something to laugh at, and it’s so bad I can’t even do that.
Sony killed Sony’s hopes for a franchise.
How about we stop planning out three-to-five movie arcs and just make a good standalone?
The stunt casting hurt this movie from the start. The shitty story and characters showed there’s greater issues at a creative/executive level at work so there’s lots of blame to go round.
You’ve now got Black Widow, Charlie’s Angels, The Marvels and Madame Web, all with the biggest names in Hollywood attached, all bombing. Women deserve better than this. I don’t think Marvel trying to setup girlboss Avengers is going to do well next. But I’m all right with dumb studios losing money trying to shove square pegs into round holes. All it means is someone is going to take a risk and actually make a good movie with good characters again some day.
Stop pumping out soulless, boring superhero movies. The market was already saturated 10 years ago and audiences want novelty, not cookie cutter “man-in-cape” trash
This is the best news Dakota Johnson will read today.
I just have to think that running a Hollywood studio isn’t that much different than running some big corporate bank or something. Where a lot of people know a project is doomed from the get go but nobody has the power (or bravery) to change anything once it is in motion.
I know next to nothing about filmmaking yet I bet I could have said that script is crap from day one.
Shit, without looking at the script I’d ask why the writers behind Morbius, Gods of Egypt, and the Power Rangers movies still have jobs, let alone put in charge of your possibly billion dollar intellectual property?
Good, I’m happy.
This was only made to keep rights to Spider-Man, they can suck it.
Good…we don’t need any more super hero franchises
I don’t know how the entire world can know something is a bad idea yet in the Sony boardroom no one had the guts to point out this won’t make money?
Or did they know this was shit but have such contempt for audiences that they think the pigs will lap up any slop with Marvel attached to it?
Fox and Sony are franchise killers now. If Marvel got the rights back, they’d have to shelve any related Spider-Man IP for a decade to let the bad taste dissipate before moving forward. This is the same with the X-men. The average moviegoer who knows nothing about the characters or who’s making the movies will just remember that it was a shitty movie with shitty characters.
This is executive malfeasance on the IP. Marvel should sue to get the rights back.
Good to see comic movie failing .. I hope it’s the new fate for all of the rest . Tired of them
I genuinely hope this is the death of comic book films. I’m so tired of them. I already know fantastic 4 will bomb because the other two versions of it already did.
We still have to go through Kraven, if by some magic that works they’ll be back on the cause.
Not a single person asked for this movie…so it’s completely understandable.
They should stick with what works. The Internet wants a Mobius sequel!!!
Everyone supports Dakota Johnson and blames her angent or something. Couldn’t she read the script before accepting the role? Her acting was awful too, I’ve seen plenty of good actors in bad movies but she didn’t even try. She just wanted to make money, like in 50 shades of grey and all other mediocre crap she was in

He didn’t want to be too greedy by explaining the back story of major characters. Sounds like a plan
