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 develops the power to see the future... and realizes she can use that insight to change it. Forced to confront revelations about her past, she forges a relationship with three young women bound for powerful destinies... if they can all survive a deadly present. Read More Read Less

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Madame Web's earnest approach to the title character's origin story has a certain appeal, but its predictable plot and uneven execution make for a forgettable superhero adventure.

Madame Web isn't a groundbreaking superhero movie, but it does a decent job of telling an entertaining origin story.

This clairvoyant superhero origin story starring Dakota Johnson is a failure in just about every way.

Time Out

Johnson tries to evoke Cassandra’s inner turmoil, and the scenes between her and Scott offer glimpses of a more promising project. But any potential gets buried early, beneath clumsy exposition, clunky special effects, and disconnected editing.

Empire Magazine

But where the dialogue needed wit and spark, it has the kind of will-this-do one-liners ("Hope the spiders were worth it, Mom!") and tired backstories you get when the characters are too flat to flesh out with rounded personalities.

Rated: 2/5

Pop Culture Reviews

...the reality of Madame Web is that its poor execution of storytelling, editing, and acting make it incredibly hard to get through.

Rated: 1.5/5

Gone With The Twins

It’s so poorly, laughably designed and implemented that it’s as if it were a student film, and not some colossally-budgeted Hollywood epic.

Rated: 2/10

Cinerama Film

Madame Web is the type of bad that’s so all-consuming that it achieves a bizarre majesty. If it weren’t for the headache-inducing craftsmanship, it would have to be seen to be believed.

Rated: 1/5

Thwipsniktmraw The film's potentially rock solid premise is squandered by (among other things) a sloppy script too terrified of its audience's media illiteracy to employ any subtlety in its exposition. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Monique M Loved the story and characters! They did a good job of sprinkling humor throughout as well. I was captivated the entire time. Would 100% recommend! I'll be buying this digitally so I can rewatch it as many times as I want.
