varidogWith Madam Web, I was promised truly terrible cinema. This was supposed to be among the worst films of the decade. This was supposed to be terrible and awful and outrageous. I did NOT get my satisfaction. At no point in the film did I suffer. At no point was I bored. At no point did special effects substitute for a script.
I found it okay. I had plot holes, but the story held together. The whole thing ran on comic book logic, so once you could accept that, the rest is easy. They could have easily eliminated the side-trip to the Amazon, but I don't hold grudges against easily fixable plot holes which make no material difference anyway.
I found it an earnest film, like I prefer.
It's a period piece, set in 2003, and I praise the set designers. They got so much tech correct. In fact, I praise all the technical aspects of the film.
It's cool is that they did a huge amount with practical effects and practical stunts, which is one reason that I liked how those parts played out.
The story is basically a found-family story, and I'm always a sucker for those.
I appreciated the awkward Cassie and her cluelessness. I found that an interesting combination.
My personal theory is that the film focused entirely on women, and so the hate is mostly sexist. I've seen worse Marvel tent poles, but they aren't nearly as hated.
