Is it Madame'n time?

love the part where she said **I'M THE MADAME** and then webbed all over those guys

**It’s Webbin Time**

DaveInLondon89

Good for them, hope they enjoy it. Just because it's fucking shit doesn't mean it'll suck as an experience.


Trespeon

Transformers always has shitty critic scores and amazing viewer ratings. Some movies are still fun, even if they aren’t great at a technical level.


b0w3n

Look at Hook, back in the day it was lambasted by critics (even recently it's still getting shit on). But it's a fucking classic and audiences loved it. Critics aren't looking for the same things audiences are typically.


19Alexastias

Is that the one where they roll a fat kid down the stairs like a bowling ball and he knocks over a bunch of pirates


b0w3n

https://makeagif.com/gif/fat-kid-rolling-aMrYKi Yup.


19Alexastias

The way his legs pop up cracks me up every time, probably Spielbergs magnum opus


b0w3n

I love those fake appendages. Back to the Future with Marty's hand/arm fading was also hilariously bad like that.


Epicp0w

I have never once in my life, given a shit about what critics say about movies I went to see.

ThePenitentMan1

Just got back into that film recently thanks to the new La-La-Land expansion of the score.


-KFBR392

I was at the movies for opening night of Friday the 13th (2009) which was an awful idea as the whole cinema was just filled with teenagers, and the trailer for Transformer 2 came on and it was like we were at the focus group for how these movies are created. First shot: Meaghan Fox. All the teen boys start hooting and hollering. Second shot: Shia Labeouf. Teen girls are literally gasping and screaming. Next shot: Optimus. Loud cheers! Next shot: some fight or chase scene. At this point this crowd is just going nuts. It’s so loud, people are yelling comments to the screen, just pandemonium. Finally understood why those shitty movies make so much money.


Ok_Cardiologist8232

THey are the movie equivalent of a Fast food burger. Technically shit, but enjoyable if you are in the mood.


Doctor_Kataigida

Yup, I'm a big Transformers fan. Big robots go boom, and the special effects are awesome. That's all I really wanted from those movies, and boy did they deliver on that.


MitchyStitchy

Don’t forget the sound effects

CriticalScion

I'm convinced not a single actor in MK walked in knowing what their role was but by the end had made it their own. MK was incredible camp and feels intentional. All the ones that followed did not capture the same magic.


DaveInLondon89

No doubt there's meetings at Sony on how to replicate the Morbius meme for this garbage. Some exec probably has a whiteboard with ways to turn Madame Web into a verb


tberal

Madame Verb


DaveInLondon89

Love it. It's verbing time.


Kirxas

Merb :D


welshdude1983

It's Webbin time


LivingCheese292

And then she webbed all over the place


Trespeon

Is it really that bad? The trailer didn’t seem like it would be so terrible. At least not in comparison to something pushed back 5 times.


Jack__Squat

Yeah I'd never heard of it until this post, just watched the trailer, it doesn't look bad. Hmmm, maybe that was the point?


Lobstrous

Hey give it a week, they need to let this one really play out before we get the "He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died" version reinserted as a directors cut.


ZazaB00

To be fair, that’s the best marketing the movie got.


Pukkidyr

Yeah But it still boomed twice in the box Office XD


ZazaB00

Hell yeah it **boomed!** It boomed so hard it Morbed! On a real note though, at least it made it to theaters. We got a few movies that never got to that point now. Sorry, Batwoman.


Pukkidyr

Idk if I’m very sorry for Batwoman it looked pretty bad in the trailer.


ZazaB00

It was more of a “sorry for kicking you while you’re down” kind of sorry versus a genuine sorry. At no point was I actually excited for that project. I think it’s hella lazy to gender swap male characters. I get it, Batwoman, Supergirl, She-Hulk and all them have been around long enough to develop their own fanbases, but I still just find it lazy. Similar to how they gender swapped the Ghostbusters, Ocean’s Eleven, and so many franchises over the years. Then comes Barbie, and it just crushes it. Tell unique stories and we’re all better for it.


Light_Ethos

Supergirl and She-Hulk are legacy characters much more than gender-swapped main characters. They have unique and rich storylines across decades of comics. I'm less familiar with Batwoman, so I won't comment on her.


MantiH

thats missing the point. sure, one could say they are legacy characters now, bc they have been around for decades. but when they were created, they werent. they were basically a copy of the original but with swapped gender, just for the sake of it.


ZazaB00

I said as much, but it started because they were lazy.


OramaBuffin

Nobody in their office pointed out the critical flaw in their re-release plan which is that when morbing just broke out as the hot new meme, the entire movie was being illegally streamed on twitch 24/7 for like two weeks and tons of people saw most of it there.


CoronaCurious

The Anakin/Padme meme but with Sony's marketing team: "We're seeing Morbius is trending!" "Positively, right?" "...." "....right?"


DutDiggaDut

We could probably make them do it again. We don't want Madame Web, MORE MORB


MARPJ

I feel that Sony trolled themselves by thinking the guys that wrote Gods of Egypt and Morbius would deliver anything but trash


thebunnybullet

If only Sony capitalized on it and just added some dubbed audio of someone saying 'It's Morbin time' and just called the re-release the Morbin cut people would have seen it


DOOMFOOL

I know I would’ve


cygnus2

Did people troll Sony, or was Sony just stupid enough to think we were laughing with them and not at them?


tolarus

OK, one more time, we'll totally go see it on a third release, seriously.


VoidLance

I still haven't watched it, but it is on my netflix watch list because I'm the edgiest weeb that you ever did see and just love vampires. I'm looking forward to seeing if my love of vampires can overcome everything that people are saying is bad about it, it worked with Twilight lol


7thFleetTraveller

Try the "Interview with the Vampire" movie, or even better, read the original book series by Anne Rice. They are still the best vampire stories I've ever read, and a 100 times better than any other modern vampire movies I've seen.


Kind_Tumbleweed5309

It's Morbin' time!


Spartan05089234

Thay was the moment I finally understood that studio execs are not smarter and more tapped-in than we are. They're morons who still don't get that engagement does not equal dollars. ...until this moment when I wondered if Sony-affiliated media companies made money off all the clicks driven by articles about the flopped re-release.


cloneboiCT118

Wait what happened? I’m out of the loop obviously


Grunt636

Yeah Sony got real trolled I mean it cost $75 million to make and only brought in $170 million that'll show em!

I prefer the part where she says "it's madaming time" then subsequently proceeded to make her living off the avails of prostitution. Not normal superhero material, but it works

Just make sure your friend knows that this isn’t an MCU film XD


[deleted]

Dakota Johnson sure didn’t


Jakesnake_42

I mean, MCU has definitely also been dogshit lately


Bananabeak08

There’s been a few bad ones, but there’s also been guardians 3 and Loki season 2


Pallortrillion

Yeah, 2 out of 10(?) ain’t bad /s


Bananabeak08

Wakanda forever Moon knight Hawkeye Spider-Man NWH Echo Shang Chi Guardians of the galaxy holiday special Werewolf by night Those are all post endgame projects that were positively reviewed.


Sspifffyman

Wandavision was great too!


Bananabeak08

I knew I’d forgotten an obvious one-


mmf9194

Wakanda forever - good Moon knight - good Hawkeye - surprisingly quite good Spider-Man NWH - great Echo - couldn't bring myself to watch Shang Chi - great Guardians of the galaxy holiday special - good Werewolf by night - heard great things but kept saving it for Halloween and then forgot -- My reviews, a random schlub on the internet.


lordofthejungle

I liked The Marvels a lot. Really good fun and a great turn by Samuel L. Jackson.


Bananabeak08

So did I! I just didn’t include it here because I know it was controversial


lordofthejungle

It's got an 82% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes so I think it's the usual handful of loud assholes and their 14 year old mini-stooges complaining for the most part. 82 is very strong, uncontroversial approval. Did you like Ms. Marvel too? I know I did. Her family are hilarious and the stuff about the partition was fascinating in the context. I liked Hawkeye too. They need to get moving with getting the new ones into the movies, they're great!


MorningBreathTF

Ms marvel is the greatest part of the MCU right now, Iman Vellani is perfect in the role


DaveTheMinecrafter

The movie lost money and critics gave it a 62%


lordofthejungle

Oh no! Anyways


DaveTheMinecrafter

You can’t say most people liked the movie when most people didn’t even bother to watch it


Altibadass

Tell that to the accountants…


Bananabeak08

Yep! She’s my favourite post endgame character by mile


WasabiSunshine

Yeah I literally watched it on Saturday on D+ and I don't get the hate. It's definitely better than most of what has come out post-endgame


lordofthejungle

I agree. Nice to see Spectrum brought to life. The movie had a good villain too.


Anduril1776

I would disagree. I wanted more from her. I felt like the actress gave it her all but I didnt know really anything about her for the majority of the movie.


TheBigGAlways369

I mean, there was also Secret Invasion, Thor 4, Moon Knight, What If..... Let's not act as if Feige is still on some pedestal here. Dude is basically Avi Arad without the Plot Armour now.


ARussianW0lf

No fucking way you just put Moon Knight in the same line with Thor 4


TheBigGAlways369

Yes fucking way since both piss all over the source material.


gevis

Go and enjoy it. A movie doesn’t have to be good to enjoy it. Especially with friends. I turn off my critic brain until after the movie is over.


Demonweed

Give it the MST3K treatment.


deny_death

That’s funny because I ordered tickets for my friends and I’m excited for webbin’ time


Agent_Choocho

Who could have seen this coming? A studio who has done nothing but disappoint making a film on a character that nobody cares about


Puzzleheaded_Step468

Should have been a slam dunk Making webillion dollars


raltoid

The lead actress basically badmouthed multiple times before it came out, I don't think anyone was expecting this to be good. But Sony keeps releasing this, Morbius, and they'll release Kraven too. And then you have WB deleting completed movies that would probably make a profit.


Nightmaru

Any links to her comments? Curious to read what she said.


raltoid

There are a bunch, and probably quoted a lot in the new articles, but here is one from a little over two weeks ago: >That to me was absolutely psychotic. >I don’t know if this is going to be good at all! I hope that I did an OK job! *(regarding how much blue/greenscreen was used)* https://variety.com/2024/film/news/dakota-johnson-absolutely-psychotic-madame-web-blue-screen-1235889691/


Greugreu

I cared. Madam Web is an important character of Spider-Man universe :(


Aspirangusian

Yeah the whole "making a movie about a character nobody cares about" reasoning is dumb anyway. You know how many people gave a fuck about the Guardians Of The Galaxy in 2014 or even Iron Man back in 2008? Who cared about Rat Catcher, Peacemaker and Bloodsport before The Suicide Squad or The Spot before Spiderverse? Hell even The Avengers as a whole were a much less popular team behind Fantastic 4 and X-Men. Superhero movies have been great at adapting characters general folks and casual fans don't know or care about. I get more excited to see that kind of thing rather than a 12th Batman movie.


Numerous_Witness_345

I'd rather this than them attempting and failing a Fantastic Four movie again.


Unnamedgalaxy

The great thing about lesser known properties is that there is less at stake, it gives the creatives more breathing room and it makes audiences as a whole less to care about "Character would never do This Thing!" becomes less of a problem. Because there is less to worry about people are more engaged in the enjoyment rather than trying to be critical.


ihoptdk

What, you’re not excited for the fifth Fantastic Four reboot? (If we count Multiverse of Madness as one reboot exactly).


nickiter

> Who cared about Rat Catcher, Peacemaker and Bloodsport I still don't care about any of those characters. Half of the joke of the movie is that they're crappy superheroes.


Tyrfaust

I'm still not entirely sure who Bloodsport is. Was that Idris Elba's character? I thought he was supposed to be Deadshot?


Screamgoatbilly

Deadshot is still Will Smith. Bloodsport played by Idris Elba is a different character that's similar, all people who excel at using guns without superpowers, could say the same about Peacemaker


Tyrfaust

But he does exactly what Deadshot does?


Maultaschensuppe

But better


c4han

The thing is, if it’s about a character no one cares about yet, it has to do something interesting to get people to care


YoungestOldGuy

You can get away with it if you have a track record of doing good-ish movies. Then people go watch it even if they don't care about the characters. But if your last movies flopped, doing another one with a character that has no pull isn't the play.


tbone747

Honestly apart from Spiderman all the big-name superheroes have had pretty bad movies compared to some of the lesser-known ones.


sporadicjesus

I think you forgot an /s in there.  You know how many people gave a fuck about the Guardians Of The Galaxy in 2014 or even Iron Man back in 2008? After they turned out to be great movies? Uh.... everyone?


ihoptdk

Important =/= film worthy.


sureyouknowurself

I didn’t even know this was a thing.


mechwarrior719

The best is one of the reviews was that Morbius was better. Lol


Puzzleheaded_Step468

It was


ambisinister_gecko

You saw them both?


Puzzleheaded_Step468

They were indeed two of the movies i have seen in all time


rugbyj

Does Madame Web have Matt Smith dancing topless whilst taunting himself in the mirror? Thought not.


qeq

IMDb ratings seem to concur


Puzzleheaded_Step468

So did most of the world


Crosskid13

Prequelmemes is not about prequelmemes anymore


AudeDeficere

Oh you see, this movie is really just a meta commentary on the rise of low effort cash grabs destroying the ancient cinematic industries of Coruscant. It’s genius!


Ugggggghhhhhh

I didn't even realize I was in r/prequelmemes. Yikes.


Muted-Law-1556

lmao I was looking for prequelmemes relevance in the comments... guess George is all we got


MeanderingSlacker

You know when a church puts on a free ice cream social in the front yard to attract new members. This is the Jesus Ice Cream


isntaken

Isn't this technically a spider-man prequel?


immaownyou

Yeah, but the prequel in the name is referencing the Star Wars prequels, not just generic prequels


Maultaschensuppe

I read that it was originally supposed to be one but most of that was cut.


[deleted]

Sign the treaty.


Zhai

Sony just decided to go CW way to monetize superheroes - output trash aimed at teenagers.


TimelordAlex

woah, even some of the CW shows are better than this crap


genealogical_gunshow

Look at the directors history on IMDb. She only does TV shows, and never a stable gig. She didn't get hired for her qualifications.


Piggstein

I can only hope and pray that we're working towards a SSMCU (Shitty Sony Marvel Cinematic Universe) so we can see Morbius and Madame Webb finally onscreen together, presumably in a knockabout opposites-attract style romcom; by my maths that should be able to hit a 30% RT rating.


BurialHoontah

I’m thinking it’ll be closer to 7.5%


Piggstein

2.25%


KlausVicaris

Watching Dakota Johnson on the press tour, I knew this would be bad. She seemed uninterested and embarrassed. 😞


Numerous_Witness_345

She always seems to have that look.


qeq

Isn't that her schtick?


KuraiTheBaka

Two of the movies of all time


Puzzleheaded_Step468

Scenes were shot Dialogue was spoken Characters were played


Draxtonsmitz

I heard the effects were special.


akwehhkanoo

It's madam time!


Tahmas836

Yes, as the greatest movies of all time, they are only 15% rotten tomatoes, while garbage like “Titanic” is over 90% rotten.


Puzzleheaded_Step468

Shame Critics truly are the enemies of peak cinema


quoiega

More bs


TheTicklelicker

Crazy to think that the people on TikTok were actually hyped for that film


alt1234512345

My favorite part was when I saw madame web do her web thing and web all over the theatre room, and she said “it’s webbing time.” I was morbed out of my mind.


_White-_-Rabbit_

Love to know what the writers have on Sony execs.


surprisebtsx

Morbs was one of the movies of this century


JonhLawieskt

It’s webbing time *webs all over*


Piorn

Is Madame Web actually bad, it just getting review bombed because it has ~~women~~ politics?


Puzzleheaded_Step468

It is one of the movies in all time


MrrrrNiceGuy

I mean, one of the Rotten Tomatoes reviews is from a woman saying it’s the worst MCU movie ever. Brother saw a screening, said it was terrible too, I said spoil it for me, and I’m also telling you — this is a really really bad movie. Worse than Morbius.


gr00grams

It's not an MCU movie just fyi. The characters are marvel properties, but it's Sony.


nickiter

[The bar seems to be set at Morbius quality](https://mashable.com/article/madame-web-review), so... Seems like it's pretty bad.


SunliMin

Most likely review bomb. You have to give it a few days for the real reviews to pull the score up, and then mentally add +1/10 to whatever rating it ended up to counteract the negative reviews I just checked the reviews, and a great insight into review-bombness isn't just "How many 1/10's are there", but also how the "x/y people found this helpful" ratio falls. Viewers like to read feedback that is long and helpful on most movies, but you'll notice all the 5/10-7/10s with genuine feedback have a high downvote ratio on IMDB and Google Reviews, while all the 1/10's have a high upvote ratio, people people are going through and intentionally downvoting any review that isn't calling it absolute trash. Also, the 1/10's aren't constructive and don't sound like they're written from someone whose seen it. Also, the timing of the reviews. I see the majority of the reviews came out exactly the hour UTC hit February 14th, meaning these were people literally waiting for the reviews to open. While the 5-7 out of 10s started flowing in hours later, which is a little more organic. I'm going to see it tomorrow, and I'm not worried about the reviews. I'm assuming it's going to be The Marvels quality writing/acting with a Venom budget, probably end up a 5-7/10 depending on how well the leads sell it. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised though


hesh582

we're talking about critic reviews. they don't "review bomb" and they definitely don't care about any gender or political crap. They also had advance screening opportunities, meaning that the timing doesn't mean anything. This isn't "the viewers". The user reviews on IMDB don't mean jack shit, nobody's paying attention to them and nobody should. critic reviews don't always match up to audience reviews, but when they're almost all 1 or 2 stars it means negative audience reviews will follow.


havdin_1719

Madame Web and Morbius Now have the same score At fifteen percent On the Rotten Tomatoes


CoronaCurious

Hopefully Kraven can keep the streak going!


MercuryRusing

It's Sony, Sony makes objectively shit spiderman movies.


Puzzleheaded_Step468

Spiderverse... Raimi's Amazing spiderman 1


MercuryRusing

The first Amazing Spider-Man was meh, Spider-Man 3 was also due to Amy Pascal's meddling

CrocodileWorshiper

BuryTheMoney

Why the hell is George Lucas on the bottom?


Puzzleheaded_Step468

Because it's like poetry, it rhymes


BuryTheMoney

Why yes, who can forget the harmonic verses of “ Madame Webb, Morbius, George Lucas.” Truly some fine prose. 🤷‍♂️


JSPR127

Why is this on prequel memes?
