MADAME WEB First Social Reactions Call It "Embarrassing" And A "Clunky, Poorly-Written [Mess]"

The first reactions for Madame Web have found their way online following last night's world premiere and, unfortunately for Sony Pictures, they're almost all overwhelmingly negative. Check them out...

The world premiere for Madame Web took place yesterday evening, and while Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney turned heads on the red carpet, the reaction from those who watched the movie isn't good. 

Sony Pictures only released a single trailer for its latest Marvel movie which, almost immediately, became a source of memes rather than a preview which generated excitement among comic book fans.

There have been hopes Madame Web might exceed expectations - especially with an impressive cast, superhero costumes, and a director with comic book experience at the helm - but it appears that won't be the case if these reactions are anything to go by. 

As you can see below, the response thus far has been incredibly negative. While this is only one wave of verdicts (more are expected to follow later today), reactions like these don't bode well for the movie and we could find only a single semi-positive reaction. 

Take a look at these early Madame Web verdicts below and check back here later for that all-important Tomatometer reveal!

Meanwhile, in another universe...In a switch from the typical genre, Madame Web tells the standalone origin story of one of Marvel publishing's most enigmatic heroines.

The suspense-driven thriller stars Dakota Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic in Manhattan who may have clairvoyant abilities. Forced to confront revelations about her past, she forges a relationship with three young women destined for powerful futures...if they can all survive a deadly present.

SJ Clarkson directs from a screenplay she wrote with Claire Parker. Morbius scribes Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless are also expected to be credited for their work on the script, though it's currently unclear which draft they wrote. The movie's confirmed cast members include Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott.

Madame Web arrives in theaters worldwide on February 14.

@UniqNo - well, when all the users on here expect/know it'll be a mess the authors really have no choice but to be honest

Please remind me of the first reactions for The Marvels 🤣

@vectorsigma - except if this were the marvels Josh would be calling all of these people racist and sexist, right along with the director 🤣

@vectorsigma - See, I get the impression that a lot of the more vitriolic reactions toward The Marvels would actually feel more appropriate if applied to this film.

@asherman93 - so you're saying the marvels wasn't an embarrassment or a poorly written mess?
Vigor
Vigor - 2/13/2024, 5:25 AM
@asherman93 - right?! Like the marvels was so heavily hated but didn't deserve it. Thor 4 was a worse film and all signs point to madame web being even worse than both

@Origame - have we seen an honestly bad mcu film like thor 4 or the marvels get dumped like this on early reactions? I think not
SuperiorHeckler
SuperiorHeckler - 2/13/2024, 6:09 AM
@Origame - Heck, even to this very day, it's usually Mark that handles any residue "negative" articles concerning THE MARVELS. Josh "Make-Mine-Marvel" won't touch 'em. 🫤
Vigor
Vigor - 2/13/2024, 7:11 AM
@vectorsigma - I think it's honestly expectations. We expect a Sony film to be bad so reactions may be askew early on anyway. Now that some people are expecting mcu films to be mediocre, some films are being judged over harshly too

@SuperiorHeckler - funny thing is with the marvels he was preaching about us being more positive.

Remember that as you read his review of madame web 🤣

@Vigor - ^this. Thor 4 and The Marvels are awful movies... but we also used to expect good to great from the MCU.

Sony we expected it to be awful, a dumpster fire, and it didnt disappoint.

@Origame - I’d basically put The Marvels at the same level as Homecoming, Iron Man 2, or the first Ant-Man - not great, but still a fun film.

Origame - 2/13/2024, 12:19 PM
@asherman93 - I mean, fine. To each his own.

To me it's definitely garbage tier.

asherman93 - 2/13/2024, 12:20 PM
@Vigor - I mean, I’d argue that Love and Thunder was actually better than The Marvels - and that it’s Ragnarok that’s more deserving of scorn than either of those - but yeah, Madame Web seems a lot worse.

Wow what a bunch of women haters

This just tells me that Sony will still invite them even with a negative feedback.

On the Marvel Disney side, they all need to bow down and be shills forever or say goodbye to those advance invites 🤣

@vectorsigma - Sony is only allowing reviews to be out tomorrow, the day the movie is out, if they didn't care about them they would have lifted the embargo earlier. Plus, if you hate Marvel Studios that much just avoid their stuff and be happy.
Vigor
Vigor - 2/13/2024, 5:22 AM
@Urubrodi - no. He will continue to come here everyday to share his fuNnY anti mcu comments with his FriEnDs.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 2/13/2024, 5:49 AM
@Urubrodi - my comment was not about the review embargo.

It was about the fact thst these people with advance invites are not shying away in giving their negative feedback.

I havent seen a bad MCU movie being treated like this on early reactions which says much about the simping involved
Vigor
Vigor - 2/13/2024, 7:08 AM
@vectorsigma - other than secret invasion, maybe there are no BAD mcu productions
Urubrodi
Urubrodi - 2/13/2024, 7:10 AM
@vectorsigma - Considering that this is all your personal opinion, so what? Let's say your conspiracy theory is right and people are afraid or paid off to not go too hard on Marvel Studios movies reviews, will your incessant complaining about Disney in every god damn article change that? I mean you do you, but I hope you're aware how annoying these pointless comments are.
Urubrodi
Urubrodi - 2/13/2024, 7:11 AM
@Vigor - Yeah, I don't know why I waste my time. Just get on the nerves sometimes, gotta learn to ignore it.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 2/13/2024, 8:34 AM
@Urubrodi - not every article. I missed the first dp3 trailer article.

Everyone posts their own opinions on this site and everywhere to the enjoyment/annoyance of others. To say they are pointless will make Josh cry. The more hate that they inspire, like you are expressing right now, the better for them.

I have been on the same boat as you. A lot of people here annoy me too. But i never reacted the way you are doing now. Relax.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 2/13/2024, 8:36 AM
@Vigor - now that is either a lie or a delusion. We all have witnessed the mcu since film 1 and that is an opinion i will not agree with
Urubrodi
Urubrodi - 2/13/2024, 8:51 AM
@vectorsigma - There is a difference between people that come here to have a healthy discussion on a topic and someone that only comes to share the same negative opinions over and over again. You are aware of your own comments, you do know that over 90% of them are to do with Marvel/Disney or the Marvel "shills" as you like to say. But as was saying to Vigor, I gotta learn how to better ignore the negativity, otherwise I might as well leave the CBM comment section, every day it just becomes more and more toxic.

vectorsigma - 2/13/2024, 8:54 AM
@Urubrodi - i dont usually say this (but josh and mark do).

Block option is available
