Dakota Johnson - Madame Web - Marvel - Movie Reviews - Superhero Movies

Marvel's Madame Web receives a mixed reception with critics praising the lead's performance but criticizing the storyline.

Marvel's Madame Web has created a buzz in the movie world with critics sharing mixed reviews. Dakota Johnson's portrayal of the clairvoyant paramedic Cassie Web has garnered praise for bringing humor and charisma to the somewhat convoluted superhero origin story. The movie attempts to introduce a new character but struggles with coherence due to last-minute changes, leaving some audiences confused. Despite the efforts to delve into the Spider-Man archives to find Madame Web, the film falls short of expectations with ill-defined powers and a lackluster plot. Critics point out the movie's basic decisions in dialogue and structure, questioning its engagement with the audience.
