How Sony can seemingly go from the greatest Spider-Man films in the animated Spider-Verse films to complete and utter trash like these movies is beyond my comprehension.
Something tells me that Sony is ran by different people who some of them know what Spider Man actually is and need and the other ones just like to throw whatever the hell the Spider Man material has without a good script to work with
Sony hasn't made a decent live-action comic book movie (without Marvel's direct help), since 2004.
A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound probably has something to do with it.
Different teams
They're so desperate to have a sustainable Spiderman universe to show Disney they don't need them to keep a live action Spiderman relevant.
this movie was made for one thing only:getting excited for Ryan George's Pitch meeting
Making poor movies is super easy as it turns out!
Bad Superhero Films are TIGHT!
Ryan watching the movie, thinking of all the fodder he can use for his Pitch Meeting: "Wow wow wow....wow."
Will be the easist pitch meeting to write of all time
Because the movie has to happen.
You know a movie is in big trouble when Sony brought back the writing team of Morbius to write the script for Madame Web. They really couldn't find any other writer huh? 😂😂
Its only because they were cheap. That's legit the only reason why there were brought in. or blackmail. Those are the only two options that happened, there is no in-between.
I love it when Madame Web said “it’s webbing time” the whole theatre stood up and applauded
They where cheap, they where connected with the studio, and they couldn’t find other writers who wanted to do the project. The trifecta of how you can find work in Hollywood regardless of talent.
Bruh it’s like that’s the thing. DONT HIRE THE MORBIN MORBS
@akenproductions9945 couldn't find writers who wanted to work on it? You can throw a ball in a cafe and it will hit 20 starving writers.
Thank you Dan for confronting the deceptive advertising. Never stop doing this.
I never felt so catfished lol couldn’t believe it
It's like Rise of Skywalker when they showed Rey as a dark jedi in the trailers, you know they only shot that scene for the clickbait.
At some point I just accepted that wasn’t going to happen… and I wasn’t happy about it, but again accepted it.
Yeah movies shouldn't do this.
Sony is so weird. Outside of their core Spider-man films, they don't seem to have any idea of what to do with their superhero films.
Because their core Spider-Man films are handled by Marvel Studios creatively.
Oh you mean the movies that Sony has nearly zero involvement in? Yeah, those are infinitely better .
@@00ABBITT00 Spider-verse movies exist ya'll
@@ML-yn9yu Yeah and Sony just leaves Lord, Miller and Pascal to it. The live-action stuff on the other hand is a different story
That's because they only have one superhero and all of these "other superheroes" were originally meant to support the core hero's narrative. I'm not saying stand-alone spinoffs can't work; Joker and Venom can attest to that but there's not much there yet Sony keeps digging. Who knows maybe Kraven or that el Muerto character that only appeared in a single Spider-Man story will be a hit.🤷♂️
Dan Murrell was in the Amazon with my mother who was researching spiders right before she died.
Apparently that line's not even in the film! I am shocked and appalled.
@@hollylucianta6711This deceptive advertising has gone too far!
@@hollylucianta6711can definitely say… it’s not. At least not in the way it was in the trailer.
@@hollylucianta6711can definitely say… it’s not. At least not in the way it was in the trailer.
The deceptive shot of the spider girls is a vision isn't it
I'm guessing it's just the ending shot, sorta like what they did with Amazing Spider Man 2
Sadly, it does seem to be. Which is a bummer. Why go all out? When the film could do so much more. But ends up faceplanting instead
🤦 Seriously this stuff needs to fade. Just make excellent movies. Not this
Yeah that's my guess too. Not even the ending shot, just a vision of the future explaining why the vilain is trying to kill them I guess
My guess is it's a vision from the villains perspective from relatively early - why he's afraid, or a vision from DJ's perspective near the end - what she has maybe unleashed by saving them.
It is.
This is like the 4th most anticipated movie of 2004.
Why now why not 20 years ago?
Yep it works as a good double feature with Spiderman 2
"Easy there Ms. Webb."
"It's Madame Webb!"
That’s an actual line?
To be fair "Dakota Johnson floats through it and doesn't seem to know what she's supposed to be doing there" could describe any Dakota Johnson performance I've seen.
Dang...that's kinda harsh.
@@edenrios1377 It's kinda true, tho
I thought she was great in Cha Cha Real Smooth, so with the right material, she can do well. But that's the only performance I've seen her do that I've liked (also didn't like the other films themselves).
@@rebeccag8589Reminds me of January Jones. Great in Mad Men, terrible in everything else I've ever seen her in.
@laurenk5379 yes! That's a great comparison.
"It's madameing time" just doesn't have the same ring...
"Don't call me missus!"
Sony also put the graffiti of Spider-Man in the "Morbius" trailer and guess what? That was fake too.
Sony might possibly be the most out of touch studio ever… this goes way back to Garfield’s planned trilogy. When the Sony emails got leaked they were discussing/planning the most bizarre ideas I’ve ever heard
I refuse to believe this is a real movie until I actually see it.
Also 10/10 for Dan's Lionel Hutz joke.
I don't remember what channel or when I saw a trailer of this movie, but I remember it looks more like thriller and doesn't seem like a superhero movie. So when the title "Madame Web" shown, I was like "wow, they made her origin movie like Final Destination!" Yeah, I give the movie maker too much credit.
But thinking about it again, while probably still bad, if this movie not use superhero stuff but instead use supranatural detective story, it would far more interesting
Did I mishear or did he call him Lionel the Hutz? 😂
LoL that Lionel Hutz intro! Love it. Dan be like…
*ONLY ORIGINAL JOKES*
*NO HILARIOUS SIMPSONS REFERENCES*
“Oh they got this all wrong.”
*ONLY ORIGINAL JOKES?*
*NO, HILARIOUS SIMPSONS REFERENCES!*
Hilarious Simpsons references are the Window to Comedy!
@@mhyzon1 haha Hey, did you go to Hollywood upstairs comical college, too?
lol
"I shouldn't have this SceenJunkies logo there either." *munch*
Does he or does he not work on contingency?!
I am shocked! SHOCKED!.............not that shocked.
“Starring Dakota Johnson” will NEVER get me to a theatre.
Of all reviews I saw for this movie until now, Dan is the most polite and nice one, because he gave it "not a fan" score, while Jeremy Jahns gave it a straight up "dogshit" score.
Jeremy’s review was hilarious
I’ve never heard Dan call someone’s work terrible like he did for the main villain, so that speaks volumes to me lol
Sometimes you gotta call a spade a spade tho. This movie shouldn’t be supported in theaters. It’s truly dogshit in concept and in execution
Well Dan is imo the only legitimate critique on this whole platform. Everyone else is simply confirming the thought of anyone can make UA-cam videos..so it makes sense
@@Luke101what’s wrong with the concept? The concept is pretty good.
"morbius writers" hahahahaahahahahhahaah
I like Madame Web, the character, as a concept. She knows a lot about like the future and different realities, but only in the limited scope of spider related stuff. I also don't mind the idea of a teamup movie of Arana and other various spider ladies. However, taking those and mashing them together and getting the Morbius writers to Morb them together was... a choice, for sure.
Now I’m assuming the girls are only seen fighting in their suits via visions of the future seen by Madame Web.
Pretty much that exactly. It was the future yet to be. Honestly wish they wore the suits in the film, but it was a huge tease instead. Bummer deal. I guess it was some idea to save it for a sequel. Which is not happening. I think 🤔
@@kadosho02 oh yeah it was totally just to get people in the theatres. The only reason I kinda wanted to see it to see them in action 😂 heard it’s on Netflix now, still haven’t watched it. Saw all the terrible reviews on UA-cam though. I’ll watch it one night when I’m drunk 😂
I was yelling at the screen "Simpsons Did It" but Dan is such a gentleman he called himself out XD
Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless co-wrote many other "great" scripts for movies such as Dracula Untold, The Last Witch Hunter, Gods of Egypt and the 2017 Power Rangers movie. Morbius is just their latest gem. It's not that they simply wrote a bad script once upon a time, they systematically and reliably deliver bad movie scripts. Perhaps it's a Mel Brooks "The Producers" situation.
I kinda like Gods of Egypt! Yeah, it's completely insane, but it's got some actual heart.
I can't speak to any of the other films though!
Dracula Untold was decent. Power Rangers too.
@@luchomscyfy Was Dracula Untold the name of the Luke Evans one and it had Tywin Lannister from Game Of Thrones too? I thought that one was actually a good movie. Enjoyed it a ton.
@@Kris_AB yes, that one. Charles Dance is the Tywin guy.
I can't wait for the Pitch Meeting on this.
I agree
when i see dan make that face on the thumbnail , i know this review will be hilarious.
Yes!!
Yes, the thumbnail has a good image for his thoughts on the movie.
“a love letter to something most people want to forget” is a great line
You should have a level between “not a fan” and “stay away” called “I would watch it on a plane if there was nothing else.”
I think I'd rather nap.
@@DanMurrellMovieshow about "in a Clockwork Orange type setup where I'm being forced to watch this, I *wouldn't* try to choke myself to death on my own tongue"? Put it on the poster!
Well based on what Dan said then it seems to me that the spider team is just a possible vision of the future that they show for a few seconds.
Yup. That is pretty much it. Given that scene, you would think:
Hey this can be awesome!
Moar!!
Nope just a vision
"Works on contingency? No, money down!"
I figured that the three Spider girls would be in brief flash back scenes. These movies are only loosely based on Spider-Man characters.
Madame Web is the movie equivalent of ordering a club sandwich at a restaurant and the most appetizing thing about the entire sandwich is the toothpick holding it together
We live in the universe where Dan is Nicer to Madame Web than he was to The Marvels.
+mr.fluffyface431
That's because, unlike Sony (excluding the animated Spider-Verse films, the Tom Holland movies and the few good early Spidey films), we expect better from the MCU, and we have had better from the MCU.
Well it's a base line issue. The Marvels is infinitely better than this bilge, but compared to the rest of the MCU it is mid.
Whereas these Spider-Man adjacent Sony films are all worse than The Marvels but about the same quality as each other.
@@SirsasthNigam.
Nah
Madame Web was so so but still entertaining enough. I actually liked it more then the Marvels
The thing with deceptive advertising, if that is what you use to make people see the film, what you think will draw the people in, why didn't you just go out and make that film to begin with?
I can't believe this film was made. Its like a groovy psychedelic Barbarella Sequel coming out in 1985.
Ironic that you say that considering that Sweeney has already confirmed she’s planning on starring in the title role of a “Barbarella” reboot.
@@titanguy7316and now it's confirmed she is playing the lead role, Barberella is back.
Um why can't Hollywood leave wacky films alone?
I think it's Andrew Garthfields universe. The alternative ending on the amazing spiderman 2. Peter meet his dad who works for some government department in hiding. This lines up to what lines up.
Daredevil Directors cut on bluray is severly underrated
Well I guessed wrong yesterday. This makes more sense than a Dune Part 2 review coming out 2 weeks before it releases.
Yet another one taken for the team, thank you Dan, we owe you.
Great review! Nice seeing you at the screening bud !
Omg it’s daddy 🫶🏿
Love ya Dan keep up the great work
A couple of major blunders here. One, they didn’t introduce this character in Spider-Man or venom movies. Two, fans are tired of girlboss movies.
I would have loved to have seen a Madame Webb appearance in Spider-Man in the same way as in the animated TV series. I’m guessing that’s where this is heading at some point… just with a young girl instead of a wise elderly woman lol
If they had just put Sydney Sweeney in some revealing outfit like Olivia Munn in that X-Men movie and just have going about her day it woulda made bank. They refuse to accentuate T&A these days even though that's what has sold since time immemorial.
T&A? What’s that
It’s Webbin’ time!
this joke is supposed to be the top comment. what's going on?!?!
You know, if there were only some source material out there, I’m thinking like decades worth, these writers could pull entire stories from.
That would be a great set of tools if it only existed.
Been waiting for this 😂
6:35 The way Dan describes the movie's premise is basically reminiscent of the cop-out final battle from Breaking Dawn Part 2.
Thanks for the video Dan!
As a Female director/writer why would you make your young female characters do absolutely nothing, show no promise of what they may become or any heroic characteristics? They are literally and figuratively passengers of the movie.
Thank you for your service, Dan.
It's Madaming Time!
We don’t actually need to watch Dan’s reviews to find out what he thinks about the movie. You can always tell from the thumbnail.
It’s true that the thumbnail tells a thousand words, but I wanna hear all those glorious thousand!
Good to see Dan's on the trending page!
Sony just needs to give the rights to the Spider-Man characters back to Marvel. Because lately they've been dropping the ball when it comes to their own Marvel movies.
" They were so preoccupied with whether or not they cob, they didn't stop to think if they web "
Marge Simpson: But your card said "No money down"
Lional Hutz: Oops, that's a typo. "No, MONEY DOWN!
thx Dan
Dan "No, Money Down!" Murrell... Haha, good one Dan!
Brutal. Thanks for this review.
That intro at the beginning of this was funny, Dan.
LOVE your Batman Prequel analogy.
Spot-on
“I’ve argued in front of every judge in this state - often as a lawyer”
The least surprising review ever
I hope Dan makes an "If I ran Sony's Marvel universe" video.
The original Madam Web, I think she first appeared in 1981 or 84, was one of the coolest characters to show up in the Spiderman universe in a long time. A frail old lady, blind and hooked up to a funky DIY life support machine, with massive psychic abilities, was a great addition to an otherwise boring Kraven (I think it was Kraven) storyline. Still, the key ingredient to all this is Spiderman. Take Spiderman out and you got nothing.
As a massive Spider-man fan I really wanted this to be good but we all knew what we were getting when we first heard a Madame Web movie with no Spider-man by Sony was coming - dog sh!t. We knew.
As soon as I saw the trailer, I remembered "Tru Calling."
So how long until we meme Sony into rereleasing Web only for it to flop again, again?
I thought it was a solid 10/10. The part where *spoiler* Kraven showed up at the end and said, "Looks like I got caught in your web. It's kraven time now" had me in SHAMBLES. I'm so excited to watch it again!
Clever opening. Well done Mr Hutz
Hey Dan! There’s a new JAWS book out! It’s called Quint by Robert Lautner and it’s surprisingly good. It deals with his time before amity as well as the Indianapolis. I think a fellow JAWS addict like you might appreciate it.
I appreciate the mention of no spider team suiting up. I was dubious on that, but ready to go watch the train wreck if there was a superhero result at start of third act just to see. Good info.
That awesome intro immediately got my like.
I usually wait to see the movie before watching reviews but I has a suspicion I won't have to waste my time with this , thanks Dan!
Love the Simpsons joke right at the top of the show! 😂😂😂
Hey man atleast phase 5 isn’t a dumpster fire like 4 was thanks to Loki and guardians and we still have Deadpool and punisher coming
3:44 I'm sad to hear that. I like Tahar Rahim a lot. He's excellent in, The Looming Tower, The Mauritanian, and The Serpent.
It would been cooler if in the future these three girls became villains and this guy traveled to the past to stop them 👀
Your point about 2003 time capsule is spot on.
Now I'm sad again that the live action Lionel Hutz movie will never happen 😭
Uh-oh. Dan's face in the thumbnail is telling...
I'm waiting for Pitch Meeting. Producer guy has a lot of explanation to provide.
Remember folks, we got Kraven next, THIRD TIMES THE CHARM RIGHT?!
Ugh 🤦 third times the fart
They are going for a hat trick !! They need 3 flops in a row to make the Guinness book of world records!
Ghostbusters 2016 is now looking like a masterpiece
And I don't drink Pepsi
No.
This is much better than that.
Great video.
Hate it when there are too many versions of heros with the same power.
Can't wait for the Aunt May movie!
Moonraker is awesome!
it sounds like they should've called this movie *Sony's Madame Webb: A Sort-Of Spider-Verse Saga (Sponsored by Pepsi)*
6:26 Completely agree with leaving behind 2000s superhero flicks but come on no need to rag on Roger Moore’s Bond, we love the dude, cheese and all. I think bringing back the Moore era would be a lot better than the mess of Spectre and No Time To Die which takes their muddled convoluted plots wayyy too seriously. I’ll take Octopussy’s weird triple entente villains over childhood-trauma grudge-holding Blofeld anyday
Yeah that's a problem with some movies instead of focusing on making a good movie. There are to focused on either setting up for sequels or setting up for their own Cinematic Universe.
I saw the cast list and I thought maybe. Then I got the writting credit and said no. I watched morbius because I love Matt Smith more than I hate jared leto but these writers have burned too many bridges.
I see, so it's Final Destination sprinkled in with super powers in it
I've been a comic book and cartoon fan for decades and at no point have I ever said Madame Web needs her own movie. She has a cool look currently in the comics but she really only shows up to set one of the Spider people on the direction the story needs.
Good Lord Dan...now I WANNA see this movie just to laugh my ass off😂
Sony really is the gift that keeps on giving...
Big fan from Botswana 🇧🇼
*Cast of Marvel's Madame Web (2024)* 🕸

I watched it yesterday with my brother who has some health issues. It was fun hanging out with him even if we both didn't like the movie. Your review was spot on Dan!
hi Dan. when I first heard they were making a Madame Web movie, I was hoping she looked like what she looked like in the comics: imposing.
Dakota Johnson can be described with many words, all positive, except anything having to do with those 3 movies. However, imposing, she is not.
The trailer had moved my needle from completely uninterested to a little curious; thanks for clarifying that the trailer is highly deceptive.
Dan just convinced me to go see it 😅
How many times do we have to do this 😅
