Madame Web co-star Emma Roberts remains loyal to the movie, suggesting it never stood a chance against the internet.

Considering what I posted earlier, this is perfect timing! 😆

    Emma Roberts is a domestic abuser (on top of being one of the less talented nepo babies), so I really don’t give a shit what she thinks about anything.

      I’m actually curious about that - I think it had significant reshoots and many of the villain’s lines are badly ADR’d. I’m guessing the final product had very little resemblance to what was in the script.

    It’s a movie about magical CPR. That’s the most boring premise ever. And it paints CPR as being easy and more effective than it is.

    It was a shoddily made mess. If she wanted to correctly apportion blame she should do what Dakota Johnson has done and be honest about the problems during development which doomed the film before they started filming. Or just quietly erase if from your CV and move on.

    I watched that movie on an airplane last week, and it was fine to me. What was the internet’s problem with it?

      From what I’ve heard, mostly Dakota Johnson’s lack of talent and charisma with a side of mediocre writing.

      I really wanted to like Madame Web. I avoided seeing reviews and scores for the movie, and then I saw it in the theater. After watching it, I thought it was just okay, I expected it to get a 40-50% Rotten Tomatoes rating. I was shocked to see that it was at 17%.

    No marketing convinced me to see the movie. I haven’t seen the movie. No beef against the actors and the others involved, but you do need to do more to make me watch your movie.

    Against the script and the editing?

    As far as the acting, I’d say the cast did their level best with that mess.

    I started this the other day but didn’t make it past the films prologue. I had a similar experience with morbius.
