Madame Web's One Major Problem Explained
Madame Web, the new movie starring Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney, seems like it should have been a smash hit: hot stars, a new superhero story, a big Hollywood budget… but instead it’s turned out to be a total mess. It’s not the worst movie ever, but it definitely falls flat in a lot of ways and leaves us with more questions than answers. So let’s dive into all of those questions and more to figure out what really went wrong with Madame Webb, and take a look at the one big problem that really caught the film in a web of failure. (Plus, we’ll unpack what this movie’s flop means for superhero films in general – it’s probably not what you think!)
