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.

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.

Audience Consensus

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

Catherine Bray

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

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

The storytelling is... somewhere between pathetic and perfunctory. Largely perfunctory.

Cam Cieszki

Chicago Reader

Sony and Marvel's latest entry in their shared Spider-Man cinematic universe has no better comparison than that of a rickety wooden coaster you'd find at a family-owned amusement park: brutal on the body and precariously constructed.

A tough sell from the start. But one of the worst superhero films ever made? Gimme a break.

Rated: 2/4

Tim Miller

Cape Cod Wave Magazine

Dakota Johnson stars in this latest Marvel superhero origin story, which at one point even includes the birth of future Spider-man Peter Parker. Johnson plays Cassandra Webb (cringe), who can see the future because a spider bit her mom and … Ho-hum.

Rated: 2/4

Madame Web can’t shake the sense of a male gaze, egged on by its all-male writers.

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.

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.
