Sony's latest entry in the live-action Spider-Verse, Madame Web, seems to be receiving a less-than-favorable response from critics. As the embargo is lifted and the reviews pour in on Rotten Tomatoes, it's becoming clear that the film is struggling to impress. With only a 17% rating on the Tomatometer based on 60 reviews, Madame Web is currently not sitting well with audiences. In fact, its rating is only marginally better than Morbius, which holds a 15% rating.
Critics have not held back in their evaluations of the film. David Fear of Rolling Stone describes it as the 'Cats: The Movie of superhero movies,' citing a lack of sound decision-making and performances that feel out of sync with the material. Similarly, Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair laments the minimalist performance of lead actress Dakota Johnson, suggesting that her casting was an unfortunate mistake.
