To those of us (myself included) who really enjoy a so-bad-it’s-good type of movie,Madame Webwas one of the best releases of the year. Unfortunately, critics didn’t quite have the same exquisite taste that this particular grouping of geniuses do, so, when the Sony flick was released into cinemas back in February, it was met with an impressive amount of hate. Sitting onRotten Tomatoeswith 11% (rude!), the movie was the target of pure vitriol fromaudiences who absolutely despisedeverything that filmmakerS.J. Clarksondid with the superhero’s big screen adaptation. By the time the title arrived on Netflix in the U.S. at the beginning of the summer, it came as a major surprise that, instead of flopping, itquickly rose to the top of the streamer’s chart. Now, ol’ Cassandra Webb (Dakota Johnson) is connecting even more folks, as the film is currently holding down Top 10 spots around the globe via a multitude of different streamers.
Why Did People Hate ‘Madame Web’ So Much?
This is a question that we M’dame Web lovers (there are dozens of us!) will never quite understand. Who wouldn’t love plotlines that don’t make any sense,terrible wigs, insane one-liners, and several top-billed stars who somehow got bamboozled into making a B superhero movie? For some, these very lovable things were reason enough to hate the film. The fandom takes their superhero movies very seriously so when, likeMorbius,Madame Websullied the name of the Marvel character,audiences didn’t respond too kindly.
Who Starred In ‘Madame Web’?
Along with Johnson as the M’dame herself, Sony’s big box office flop also featured performances fromIsabela Merced(Alien: Romulus),Sydney Sweeney(Euphoria),Celeste O’Connor(A Good Person),Adam Scott(Severance),Tahar Rahim(The Serpent),Emma Roberts(American Horror Story),Mike Epps(All About the Benjamins) and more.
Unfortunately, even all of this incredible star power couldn’t saveMadame Webfrom blowing up (in a bad way) at the box office. But now, you’re able to be part of the solution and add your viewership numbers to the title and help it stay on Top 10 charts around the world.
