With flashbacks to Peru and flashfowards to crime fighting, Sony’s latest foray into the Spiderverse is a mess
Madame Web is a laughable affair. Intentionally so, at times. But for much of its two-hour runtime, the laughs come at the expense of the arguably capable work being put in by its charming lead, and the ridiculous dialogue she’s reduced to uttering with the best semblance of a straight face. To Dakota Johnson’s credit, she emerges if not unscathed, at least having had a fun enough time playing the film’s titular character.
There’s very little motivation here for anything. Every scene and character is a cog in the machine that we call plot, with little rhyme or reason, let alone character consistency. That applies to Cassie, as well, who finds her powers awakened after she falls into the river.
