Since I've almost run out of superhero films to watch I finally sat through both Madame Web and Morbius this week.
Madame Web really was just so so so terrible. I can't believe there are people in this thread defending this film. Dakota's "acting" alone just constantly takes you out of the film. It was giving:
She found out the film wouldn't be part of the MCU and immediately stopped giving a single fuck. She is just so miscast in this.
There were just too many things wrong with it I'm not even going to bother naming them all. Honorable mentions though were the villain single-handedly getting killed by the Pepsi sign, the true hero of this film and Toxic apparently being a hit on the radio in 2003 lol.
Morbius was not as unintentionally funny to me but just utterly pointless with no substance. A perfect example of a studio wanting to make a film out of a Spider-Man villain without Spider-Man but not having anything substantial to fill it with. The fight scenes, the villain, it was giving Venom copypasta without the fun. The way it just...ended after the final fight says it all.
God help us all when Kraven is released.
As nonsensical as the (barely there) story was, I had no problems with Dakota's acting. For 3/4 of the movie she played a loner and a reluctant hero. Her biggest idea was: let's drop the girls in nature. She just didn't have a clue what she was doing. After she returned from Peru, she had more of an understanding of herself and she was more pro-active and resourceful (like the ambulance/electrocution scene).
