Sony isn't interested in making good movies , it's only interested in not losing Spider-man's universe
@henri_ol And making woke propaganda shit
fr
This was a throwaway movie for Sony.
@henri_ol Well other then Spiderman across the spiderverse that came out last year
@@autisticDementiadon’t…just don’t add “woke” into the conversation, it’s just BAD, simple as that 🤷♂️
Sony literally went through their entire catalogue and said, "Hey, lets take the blind old lady in a wheelchair and make her Dakota Johnson!" and then proceeded to make a superhero film that rivals the shittiness of Morbius.
Them choosing Morbius and Madame Web has me thinking they're going through D-list characters from the '90s _Spider-Man_ cartoon. Why not better characters? Because they don't want to make superhero movies, they want to make CW specials.
Morbius blows this movie out of the water, Sony really messed up with this one
A reminder that Sony has to keep pumping out "Spider-Man" movies or the rights revert back to Disney. Prior to the Tom Holland deal, they were in discussions to make a young Aunt May movie. They are probably choosing the ones they think could work as standalone movies rather than better/more popular characters who work less well as standalones.

Woah- thanks for the shoutout, Coops. Our Madame Web review is dropping soon (spoiler alert: Bobby LOVED it. JK lulz), so be sure to watch us tear that insufferable dross a new one. Great video, as always Brett (and good job with the edit, Max). Miss you, kid. See you soon.

Dakota Johnson's Madame Web is Ryan Reynold's Green lantern 😂
its still sad that Ryan was forced to play the green lantern so he can get the role of deadpool
I have watched Green Lantern 3 TIMES and I swear its definitely 20x better than this.

Must still be pretty bad then…
"It's like coffee and nightmares had a baby"
And the baby was raised by magic mushrooms.
What pissed off the fans of Madame Webb, is like, this was a perfect opportunity for Marvel and Sony. For one, Webb is, in comics, parapalegic and blind, operating around her conditions and disease. Like, in seriousness, that's always been a part of the character from inception. It was a PERFECT opportunity to show us something different. You could've gotten someone like Helen Mirren or Meryl Streep to play her, and ironically, even if they couldn't go the length of an MCU contract, that's totally works, because Webb does die in the comics, and uses her abilities to transfer her powers to another woman, Julia Carpenter.
The problem is this obsession with origin stories. Madame Webb is enigmatic, despite coming into comics in 1980, almost nothing is really known about her past life beyond the basics. She's a pre-cog telepathic mutant, she can astrally project her body, perform psychic surgery on the minds of others, her husband set her up with a life support rig that looks like a spider's web, and she has a daughter that eventually becomes Spider-Woman. THAT'S IT. 44 *years* of comics, and that's the whole of known background.
Sony just kicked all of that over to do the same bland crap that they always do with this stuff. Like, even in the era of wokeness, they could have *genuinely* portrayed the character as writtennd hit every single box they could have wanted. A powerful woman, disabled, facing a horrific disease, and still working to her best to help the world. I mean, COME ON!
Just the introduction of this character to the big screen gives me hope after reading your comment that we get Helen Mirren in Secret Wars. That would be AWESOME
99% of all marvel movies were wack i think blade 1 and spiderman with tobey are the best closest to the comics all others are wack . Maybe put hulk 1 with Edward Norton . That’s it
Very well said, Madame Webb was a very fun character from multiple points of view IMO, not the protagonist, mind you, but still very fun to interact with. Can't really tell what they were trying to do with this one...
"Even in the era of wokeness, they could have genuinely portrayed the character as written and hit every single box they could have wanted. A powerful woman, disabled, facing a horrific disease, and still working to her best to help the world."
But they "know" that the "dumb masses" don't like that, because their other woke stuff with similar material weren't big successes. So they do this instead because "lol superhero lol boys like explosions but we need grl pwa to inspire girls too".
Dakota Johnson sounds like she was starving and had no choice but to work in that movie lol.
She probably had no cash to pay the monthly bills...
Thats likely if you aren't a A-lister actor and irrelevant afterwhile. Doesn't help her reputation as an actor didn't hold water well after starring in a shitey movie (3 of them) Fifty Shades.@WRILLI4M
If she’s starving, she should go back to swallowing instead of trying to swing webs
but better then calling it fifty shades of web and having it be explicit
exactly
If you're wondering why the film felt like a CW episode, the director had only directed episodic shows before Madame Web. Good decision to entrust a film with an $80M budget to a TV and streaming director, Sony.
80 million!? I thought it looked cheap because it WAS cheap. I figured it was 30-40million tops. Where did the money go??
@@how8132 I did too. I had to look it up. A lot of these woke films and series seem to have issues with balancing a budget.
CW used to make some good shows, but that's been awhile.
It’s common practice lately, directors without any experience being handed multibilions movies
Whoever greenlight this, must be the most unintelligent person in the world. Seriously, I now questioning the IQ level of people at higher up.
Someone else commented that they had left a pair of Madam Web tickets in their car, then came back to discover that some monster had smashed their side window and left TWO MORE Madam Web tickets in their car.
smh What is wrong with people, today?!
Ahahaha😂😂😂

This was supposed to be a blockbuster movie but instead it turned out to be a flat flop. It's disheartening to see the potential talent go wasted like this due to lack of interesting storyline and engaging script. Seems like Hollywood needs to go back to drawing board to understand what the audience really wants.
facts
I don't know. They say it's supposed to be a blockbuster but... this entire thing feels like some kind of experiment to see how audiences react to a movie actually written by A.I. lol
Movies are made bad on purpose... Quantum of Conscience
They hired attractive actors just to sell tickets from actors who know nothing about the source material. JUST WHY!!! 😢
Attractive? That's a big stretch.
Why?
Because Noob producers and directors like to think they're the bestest ever, and they manage to convince the dumb higher up, that they can do better.
And then didn't play up their attractiveness in the film itself. Sydney Sweeney is like one of the few actresses in Hollywood with the bust size equal to what is traditionally seen in comic books. Having her in a skin-tight costume all movie should have been step one before they decided on anything else about the movie.
duh
@@PyCoder82yup, dakota johnson is only known for being an average jane from the 50 shades series because it’s Mr. grey who’s the objectified one
Things have gotten so bad in Hollywood that there are now people who are only interested in acting until they can find a job working as a server in a restaurant.
Basically Brett, Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man and Spider-Man characters but they had an agreement with marvel studios to put Spider-Man in the MCU, but that’s the only kind of Spider-Man movies Disney can make but sony can make any kind of Spider-Man movies and they have their own universe not connected to the MCU
Yep, they're basically like divorced parents.
Exactly
@@sharp52092more specifically, divorced parents who still have some spark for each other. If it was the Hulk, it would be the divorced parents who passionately hate one another.
Also Sony has to make a Spider-Man related film every couple years or the copt rights reverts back to Marvel. Its why we got Morbius, Venom, and the Spider-verse films.
So does that mean that basically mean that no way home was a different universe from the MCU universe or I don't get since it was a solo movie
Cant imagine that Spiderverse and Madame Web came out of same studio.
the ease of which she goes to ads is wild.
I think bad boring movies came about partly because we told a couple of generations of kids that everything they created was wonderful and they never had to edit or rewrite anything. Creativity was a free for all instead of learning skills and rules for making something great.
agree
Do you remember a show back in the 90s that came out when The Simpsons and South Park was just starting to get big? Call "The Critic"
Every episode he would critique a film and say "IT STINKS!" nowadays, people think 'words are violence' and to give a critique like that where a person's work/"art" is insulted is a hate crime and it's transphobia/sexism/terrorism/genocide. Literal what people will call you for being at all critical about someone else's opinion, then all of a sudden the focus is on YOU as the critic, and not this joker's poor excuse for 'art' or 'expression', it's all about how mean and intolerant you are to give an honest individual opinion about crappy work.
In other words, 'The Critic' or even 'Siskel and Ebert' giving 2-Thumbs-Down to a film would be see as too much for soft Gen Z or Gen Alpha to handle nowadays. You can't even do most stand-up comedy routines nowadays without some group getting offended and threatening to boycott Netflix or mass quit from their corporate positions at the company. FFS.
Good thing when I wrote I had grown standards.
I used to write like a Hollywood writer out of fear of offending my teachers, but now I don't, and I'm willing to explore more unconfortabl3 themes as a result
@@teecakes You've got a great point. Mediocre screenwriters and directors thrive because they know no one will publicly say they STINK (specially if they belong to some minority).
Exactly. Not everyone is creative. Yet somehow people who aren’t have been convinced they are
Wonder Woman (2017) is still the best female superhero film.
I second that.
My wife called it 'Captain America Remix'. Captain America was a good movie and so was the remix
100% Agree, it is truly done right.
I personally had a gripe with how the movie took an easy out by making the God of War the villain when they originally set it to be the 'concept of war' in the earlier part of the movie. The latter makes for an interesting movie in my opinion, as the protagonist can't punch their way to a win...when what they are facing against is an amorphous idea rather than some physical entity. That said, Wonder Women is still the best female 'superhero' movie, I concur.
it was fantastic. i think where it hit the mark was it didn't once feel cheesy (like captain marvel etc.) and for me as a woman it was so nice to see a strong female character that wasn't a Strong Female Character(TM) if that makes sense.

If we watch it from the Caribbean pirate seas, are they still going to earn from me watching it?
I actually went to go see Casablanca for the first time on Wednesday in theaters and I loved it. That movie came out in 1942 yet its still an amazing movie. It's really sad how we can't really get great movies anymore and they keep letting the people who don't even like comic books or the source material direct, produce, and write these movies.
Basically if Sony doesn't put out at least one Spider-man related character movie every 5 years (I think that is the right time frame), then the rights to Spider-man, and all associated characters, revert back to Marvel (now Disney).
This is the same reason we got the not great remake of Fantastic 4, and the awful Dark Phoenix movie from Fox Studios (before they were bought by Disney). Once they acquired the rights, they had to make a movie every so many years in order to keep the rights.
I thought Venessa Carlton was Madame Web upon watching the trailer. 😂
Sony bought the film rights to Spiderman back in the early 2000s, which they still have even after Disney bought Marvel. AFAIK Sony can do any movie they want with characters that appear mainly in Spiderman comics but not in other Marvel comics. Its Disney who has to approach Sony to be able to have Spiderman in a Marvel Studios film even though they own the rights to Spiderman in all other aspects.
I'm still not clear on why Morbius, Venom nor Madam Web were able to have a version of Spider-Man in those films. Sony owns the rights, why would they intentionally remove Spider-Man from all 3 of those origin stories (in the comics Spider-Man had a hand in all 3 of these people's origin stories especially Mattie Franklin aka Sydney Sweeney aka 'Spider-Woman' from "Madam Web").
Let's not even get into the ridiculousness of removing Spider-Man (and Captain America) from the "Maximum Carnage" storyline that was augmented and released as the "Venom 2" film. Just incredibly sloppy adaptation work all around.
@@teecakes They could have easily centred these movies around Andrew Garfield's Spider-man to establish a frenemy type relationship with the anti hero characters like Venom, Mobius etc. But like most studios instead of using that feedback to make a better sequel, Sony just gives up on the character when one just movie fails because all they care about is the the cheddar $$$ and not the art or the potential.
But I am kinda glad that they DIDN'T use Andrew because I have a feeling that they'd have screwed him over too and tarnished his Spider-man's legacy in my mind
TLDR: Sony owns Spiderman movie rights. Disney has permission to make Spiderman movies. Sony is trying to make Spiderman movies without Spiderman. They should stick with the Spiderverse movies.
As a rule of thumb, box offices generally needs to make 2 - 2.5 times the budget just to break even.
Edit to add: the studios often lies what the real budget is to save face for the investors. So the Marvel's budget could be double or triple thanks to reshoots, edits, and last minute crunch time for VFX. Valient Renegade and WDW Pro are the best to talk about this sort of stuff.
How does that 2.5x figure come about...
@@janisir4529The 2.5 takes marketing and theater cuts into account. When people try to figure out movie profits, they make a couple mistakes.
One, they assume that the number that shows up when looking up “___ budget” is the official budget. That number doesn’t take marketing into (sometimes reshoots) into account which can be a considerable amount.
Second, they don’t realize that theaters get 50% of a movie’s earnings. Some studios, like Disney, have certain agreements with theaters on what percentage they can get during the first few weeks. However, the total cut a theater receives usually adds up to around half. That’s why movies need to make 2.5 times what it cost to break even
There's a looming legal threat from the family of the artist who purportedly created Spider-man...leaving those currently in charge of the property scrambling to figure out ways to keep a profitable Spider-man adjacent franchise alive should the ACTUAL Spider-Man be snatched away from them in court. It's not working, except for the Spider-verse films. So far everything rests on the back of Miles Morales. And that's not good because if they can't expand past Miles, they are almost certain to run Spider-verse into the ground.
@@trenton9 Legal stuff I haven't heard of, but I do agree they'll run Spider verse to the ground. It's more a question of what franchise HASN'T been run down yet.
I'm not sure how, but the studios must be making money by deliberately slapping together crap movies. Money laundering / creative accounting? Something is going on.
sunk cost fallacy
Nah. Just Narcissistic producers and directors who always think themselves as the bestest ever, that they don't need any source material, and can do better.
Noobs always think like that.
No they're burning money producing these because they have big pockets (Billionaires / Corporate entities) funding their projects as long as it pushes narratives they want to reinforce.
Money is no more valuable for these companies (and economy is falling) so they invest in DEI wich is mesurable. Meh.
Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man and related characters. However, they made a deal with Marvel in which Marvel is essentially renting the character and making movies with him. As long as this deal is in place, Sony themselves can't make movies with Spider-Man. However, Sony is still able to make movies with characters related to Spider-Man, and they have been. These movies, which are usually focused on villains or side characters, have been widely disliked. Most people don't want to watch Spider-Man movies that don't include Spider-Man.
When Dakota was naming off the Spider-Man movies, it felt like I was watching one of Biden’s speeches.
It's possible that she was instructed not to talk about Marvel's films to keep the focus on Sony's and had to deliberately answer incorrectly.

Basically Brett, in the 90s marvel comics were bad off financially, so they sold the rights to a bunch of their most iconic characters and those directly tied to them: Hulk went to universal studios, X-men and Fantastic Four went to Fox, and Sony got Spider-Man. That’s why the MCU started with then lower tier hero’s like Iron Man, Captain America and Thor. Cause they still owned those. Universal made a really bad hulk movie in ‘03 and Marvel leveraged a joint custody deal with them for the first MCU Hulk movie in ‘08, a deal that, I think, is still in place because Disney isn’t interested in another Hulk solo movie so the deal isn’t contentious. Fox basically milked X-men dry with more bad movies than good and aborted mission on Fantastic Four after a failed attempt at a franchise in the mid 2000s and a disaster reboot in ‘15, so Disney was able to buy them outright at the end of the 2010s, hence why the MCU is gearing up for both of those IPs to make their way into the continuity with new takes on them, and then there’s Sony. Who after the Raimi Trilogy fumbled the ending and poor Andrews franchise crashed and burned, leveraged a similar joint deal in 2016 that universal did so that Disney could introduce Peter in Captain America Civil War. However, Sonys greedy, grubby clutches won’t let go because once in a while they do something really good (the first Amazing Spider-Man was good and Spiderverse is universally adored), so they have been pumping out these low effort cash grab movies about characters in the Spider-Man wheelhouse that are usually his villains as a way to justify keeping the rights, while also making it more difficult for Disney to do what they want with the character because Spider-Man is contender for the most iconic and marketable superhero on the planet, and one of the most popular and iconic fictional characters ever made. People will ALWAYS go see a Spider-Man movie.

The things is, Dakota Johnson usually seems flat in interviews. I have never seen her movies so I have no idea if she has any acting range besides that.
She doesn't
She's terrible
She cant act
She's not a born actress.
She only became one because her parents are actors.

What they did right: hiring Sydney Sweeney and Dakota Johnson
What they did wrong: Everything else
You know it’s bad when even while watching the trailer you know it’s going to be bad 💀
I saw what Dakota was wearing on the red carpet. I mean all of them were basically half naked. It's interesting how they all complained about objectification and then proceeded to invade every male dominated industry, force themselves into genres with a primarily male demographic and then proceed to destroy it. Thus resulting in us not being allowed to have hot eye candy characters anymore. So they were on that bandwagon but then show up to events with their literal lip hanging out. Make it make sense. It's like they dress like that and objectify themselves to get attention on their movie, but men aren't allowed to have it IN media?
What are you saying, women shouldn’t be actors? Women had to force themselves into male spaces as men excluded them from it.

Different worlds. It like someone asking me a question about the Kardashians.
@@theinsurance2450 I’d be the same if someone asked me about the Kardashians too, I’ve never watched a second of that trash
The difference is you haven't produced a movie in the spiderman universe, so your exposure to that information has probably been limited. It's weird that she would have been so involved in a related project and not be have at least surface level familiarity of other recent spiderman productions.
Personally I think it was an intentional gag on her or the producers part to make some viral clips by having her play up her ignorance of the franchise so people engage more with the trailers and interviews just to comment about her lacking knowledge.
I actually saw Madame Web. I wouldn't say it's bad. I'd say that the quality of the writing and directing was not at the level of what's needed for a hit movie. It was Ok. My 7 and 9 year old daughters enjoyed it. Madame Web talks to herself and there's too much exposition, and most of the best action sequences occur in flashbacks, or (spoiler) flash forwards. That said, it really had a made for television quality to it. On the plus side for conservatives, it had a decidedly pro-life message whether intentional or unintentional.
I remember hearing people when it came out say they owe the Marvels an apology. The fact that I've seen so many reviews stating that it was just Universally hated for a number of reasons like apparently he lacked action they didn't have the superheroes in the costume for that long, yeah so that's why I was saying that the Marvels isn't as bad as it was turned out to be. And there's a whole lot of behind the scenes of that played a part because for whatever reason you decided to rehire the directors for morbius! Like why would you do that?
Can't wait for the Critical Drinker to review Madame Web.

Needs more than 200 million to break even. The pre-reshoot budget was 80 million. They spent 100 million on marketing.
How are women ok with being disrespected like this?
You’re tearing me apart Brett 😖
Why would she take a role in the Spiderverse if she has zero love for it?? Why would they cast her?
So back in the early 2000's Marvel was essentially bankrupt. They sold the rights for various IP to different studios who made movies. FOX got The X-Men, and Fantastic 4. Sony got Spider-man. With each they got all the characters, such as the X-Men and Spider-Man villions, etc. Us older folk, saw the 2000 X-Men and X-2, X-3: The last stand (Awful) and the Ramsey Spider-Man trillogy. Then in 2008 the MCU was accidentally created, when Marvel took out a 500 million dollar loan and built there own movie studio and made Iron Man. It made so much money, the loan was repaid and they made the second, then Thor. They kept making a ton of money and finished Phase 1 of the newly created MCU.
There's actually a coffee in that funny looking mug ☕💓
I think we all owe Morbius an apology.

Back in the 90s, Marvel was nearly bankrupt. In order to save the company, they sold the movie rights to various characters to different studios. Sony bought the film rights to Spider-Man and Ghost Rider. Universal bought Hulk, Fox bought the X-men, Daredevil, and the Fantastic Four. A stipulation in most of these contracts was in order to retain the rights, the studio had to release a movie every X years. That is it in a nutshell.
How do you write "MORBIUS", get hired for another movie, and do an even worse job?... Cause this movie is that
The funny part is that I didn't even know this was a thing until today. I haven't seen a single commercial, ad, or post.
I only knew about this movie because of Hot Ones on YT xD
More Brett movie reviews please.
Are you single? I'd like to know.
God no😂. She doesn't know shit about pop culture.
The sad thing is Madame Web was a great character in the OG Spiderman show. But she was an old lady in the series
I don’t think people know this at all that’s why they think it’s random. I liked the film it was an origin story.
That comment she made about commercials is EXACTLY what GM did in the 90's when it produced the EV1. It was some weird angela lansbury sounding woman (slightly lower register) telling us to imagine a bunch of different stuff, no pics of a car, just random crap, then at the end they show a top down view of a car that heavily resembled a saturn that anyone that was around in the 90s recognizes, and says "the electric car". And you're left with WTH was that? They could have EASILY showed that thing drag racing other cars (it was actually pretty quick, like our tesla vs lambo situation now , it would have been ev1 vs corvette back then) HATE commercials like that. It's like they not only don't respect your time by peddling crap you likely don't want, now they waste it and you don't even know why.
Just came back from the live! Love ur stuff Brett! In 6th grade and love ur content!
I am beginning to believe that Disney is purposely doing all this shit cause non of this is making any corporate sense
Disney didn't have any relationship with this movie, it was a Sony movie not an MCU movie
I stopped watching Superhero movies after the first Avengers movie around 2013. With all the movies I had to watch in order to just watch the Avengers it became obvious that a new formula of superhero movie mass production was being executed to activate a massive corporate cash grab.
can we focus on important things like God and Kanye’s new album Vultures 1 that is streamable on UA-cam, Apple Music, Tidal, and Spotify and many more streaming services?
Brett posts faster than you can blink. 💀
What they don't get is that the movie industry was always about storytelling, aesthetics, art, and music. As long as those things came first you could slide in a political message, or some kind of commentary on the times, as long as it didn't eclipse the core aspects of why we go see movies. Movies today feel heavy handed in their messaging and are lacking in the core elements of film making. No amount of pandering, blaming, or turd polishing is going to save these movies we need to return to what made movies great.
While it is true that Madame Web is a Marvel Comics character, "Madame Web" is not a Disney MCU movie nor part of the MCU. Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man and all his ancillary characters and is trying to create a whole separate universe with those characters. In a similar example, "Joker" is about the Joker but isn't part of the main DCEU, now the DCU, and on its own separate timeline. It seems that Dakota Johnson and Sidney Sweeney were 'misinformed'/mislead/mistaken about that fact.

They need to gross far more than $200M. They need $200M to just cover the production budget, considering Sony only gets half of the box office. They need at least another $200M to cover marketing. $400M gross Box Office gross sales minimum ($200M is Sony's take/net), and that is a bare minimum.
I watched it the day it came out and while it wasn't as good as Morbius absolutely loved Morbius, it wasn't a bad film. I will admit there was definitely cringy moments in it, but from start to finish it was amazing no pun intended.
I also love how they snuck in a few Spider-Man references making Ben Parker be Cassie's Friend/Co-Worker and Peter's mother give birth to him at the end of the movie not revealing that's who it was because no word of a lie I didn't get that till my 2nd watch through of the film. Yes I've seen it twice.
I also love how Cassie grows from being unable to deal well with a thankful kids letter/picture to protecting three girls and eventually even caring for them as if they were her own. It's an amazing movie and I loved it.
Your commentary is 100000000% on point💯💯💯💯💯💯
Love how you promote the sponsor of the videos.Its Always so creative
Editing team CRUSHED it! 😂
I have a theory that the people involved in movies failing for being terrible is due to laziness. The work ethic everywhere is and has been deteriorating - why is this happening?
this makes catwomen 2004 looks like citizen kane
I wouldn't waste my bandwidth on this movie even if disney released it today in 4k for free.
Just looked into the stats. The spiderman movies have 1/3 the total box office sales as the ENTIRE MCU. Sony is sitting in a gold mine but chooses to waste money on side characters that aren't interesting alone (morbius, kraven, madame web). Aside from the MCU, the spiderman franchise is the highest grossing superhero franchise in the world. More profitable than all the avengers movies or entire DCEU. Sony is fumbling its golden child
Basically, the deal Sony and Marvel made to get the classic Sam Raimi films made gave Sony license to all of the characters that are related to Spider-Man in any fashion. They keep those rights as long as they continue to make movies. As long as they use characters that are not directly connected to Spider-Man in a film...this is why we got Ned, why we got the (that is not Mary Jane) MJ, and a growing Spidey-villain universe. They figure they have a cash cow and they don't want to lose it.
This just proves how much we need to get outdoors and do something interesting instead of watching movies anymore!
1:33 I gotchu Brett.
There isn’t an agreement between Marvel and Disney. Marvel is owed by Disney, and Sony owns the rights to the Spider-Man ip. Marvel pays Sony to include Slider-Man in Marvel movies, but Sony can do whatever the heck they want with Spider-Man characters because they own his ip. They slap the Marvel logo on there because Spider-Man is a Marvel Comics character.
Marvel sold off a bunch of movie rights to different studios (Spider-Man to Sony, Fantastic Four to Fox, Hulk to universal). Marvel have bought back Hulk and bought Fox (thus bringing Fantastic Four back), however Sony will not let go of Spider-Man, so Disney and them have an agreement for Marvel to be able to use Spider-Man for Avengers movies etc. Sony in themselves want to build a Spider-verse, hence why they did Venom, Morbius, Madam Web, etc, but those movies are not done by Marvel/Disney at all.
They had Sydney Sweeney as one of the “super heroes” in a spider-person hero movie and did not put her in a skin tight spider costume. F-off Sony.
Its Morbin Web Time!
The lowest box office, I have found it!!! 1.1 million total box office, and it never got a domestic release... Man Thing.
There's still worse and more worse movies coming. Female Pirates of the Caribbean coming.
BRETT.... Where can I get that coffee cup and saucer???
2 things I absolutely cannot watch women do. Star as a super hero that beats on men, and lead singer in a rock band
Saw the trailer for this and immediately knew it was a total flop. The first thing we are gonna hear is people hate women watch.
Sony literally owns the rights to the Spider-verse. However there have been times where they have been willing to lend him out for other things, like the MCU. However, that almost didn’t last. After the first Spider-man movie succeeded, Disney demanded most of the profits and tried to claim ownership and buy the rights. However, Sony gave Disney the finger. Tom Holland himself has said his contract is primarily with Sony, but that it was also not so black and white. Everything Spider-Man related Sony gets most of the profit for it. Sony ALSO owns the MCU Villain-verse. So, all the MCU villains and anti-hero’s are Sony owned.
I didn't even know madam web was a marvel movie nor did I think it was a spideyverse movie.
So the way it works is Sony owns Spiderman and Disney owns every other Marvel hero. When they make a Marvel movie with no Spiderman, Disney makes all the choices and decisions. However when they make one with Spiderman Sony makes the movie with Disneys input and they make it a collab that then both companies profit from Box Office earnings while Sony keeps the movies and rights to put it on their stream and make money from the streaming apps.
Apparently when they called Dakota Johnson and gave her the script it was different. She went to Elizabeth Olsen and after reviewing the script and and contract Olsen told her, "The script and money is good and its the MCU so I would do it". Then after she signed the contract, Sony basically threw away that script and rewrote it, while also going against/away from all of the Marvel/Disney recommendations, and turned it into this shitty movie. Since then she fired her team of agents, and basically stated she will not watch the movie, will not promote it more than legally obligated, and unless there is a dramatic change she won't come back. Had Sony listened to Marvel/Disneys advice they might have had a good movie. (excluding the shitty editing)
I can not confirm all of this however the agents and other parts have been confirmed so dont take this as the cold hard truth, but this is what is being said and going around.
I seem to remember when Dakota Johnson was promoting "50 shades" she acted even MORE like this. She straight up told people in interviews "Do not go see this movie" and she would go home to a glass of wine and just stare into space after a filming day. At the time I thought it just showed that she still had some shame left in her body for starring in such a movie. I guess she just isn't good at promoting work she isn't proud of...If she finds it so hard to find good movies to be in, she should just make one...or star in a daily wire movie :P
I need to push back a little here, because audiences keep saying they want new, original films for grown-ups, but is that true? Neon released Sanctuary a couple years back and it was well-received (on RT it's at 88% with critics and 87% with audiences), but it did less than a million in box office. We need to actually support the movies we say we want, because while people will talk a lot about what Hollywood wants, the biggest agenda in Hollywood is to make as much money as possible. Look up the top grossing films of 2023, because those are the movies that Hollywood will continue to put out.
Btw, Madame Web had a budget of $80 million and a worldwide BO gross of $91 million. Critics hated it (12% on RT) but some of the audience liked it (57% on RT). Not a success, but not a total financial disaster, either. Expect more of the same.
AI might be offended by critics saying that it would produce a movie like this.
How hard is it to make a comic book story with decades of already written stories, even if a character needs some blanks filling in, where are the creative minds weaving clever arcs that pay off later? Where are the comic book fans working on these movies?
The irony is that this might be Sony's most successful project since Venom.
It's so horrible that people wanna see why
My biggest issues in the basic concept of the film, without even seeing it.
1) the spider girls in this movie were all essentially kids in relation to Pete. And here they are like hot aunts???
2) why shoe horn all three spider girls together in the same movie. They don't even have the same power sets, and it doesn't seem like they're gonna highlight those differences
3) worst offense of all. I LOVE Ezekiel Sims as a character. But here they just sh@t on him by making him an evil Peter type. It would've made more sense to pit them against an inheritor
My boyfriend and I went to see this on Valentine's Day! We thought it would be fun to go see a really bad movie..... and proceeded to leave halfway through because it truly terrible. Movie was atrocious, and it also wasn't even advertised. I thought it came out last year with how little I had heard about it.
ALSO Brett Cooper needs to do a video about how terrible it is that Dakota Johnson is starring in a children's movie... after starring in 50 Shades of Grey!
Imagine this being apart of your resume
Sony is only trying to keep the Spiderman rights by making mediocre Spiderman movies 😒😒
I love how internet “reviewers” go and pay to waste their time and trash bad movies. Maybe they’d stop making garbage films if all these self proclaimed “reviewers” would stop giving these studios their money
