    It’s fine?

    The idea of a supernatural thriller that’s also a superhero movie seems pretty novel, and I would like to see where Sony goes to get. Both Marvel and Sony have tried this before with pre-MCU movies, Doc Strange 2, Morbius, but maybe this time a director can cut loose with the spooky and not have to reign it in for brand synergy. Guy can dream, right?

        I really want to love Sony's Spider-Man Universe. I mean, who doesn't love Spider-Man? I've yet to actually watch any of the movies though with just how bad they all look, and this isn't an exception.

          The animated spider verse ones are gooooooooood. Art style alone is worth the watch. Can't speak to any of the other stuff though. I am super heroed out. I watched for the animation. So from someone who doesn't give a shit about spiderman universe or hero shit in general, and wasn't expecting much, I was extremely pleasantly surprised. Also really enjoyed the soundtrack.

            The films released so far that are are Venom, Venom #2, and Morbius. This movie, a Kraven movie, and a third Venom movie are coming out next.

              If you've seen Across the Spider-Verse they kind-of are.

              That's weird, it is made by Sony. I would have thought it would connect somehow.

      I don’t trust them to pull it off even half decently given Venom 2. The trailer feels very cookie cutter and I can’t help but wonder if there was a script they just wrapped in marvel skin for this

        From a different article:

        S.J. Clarkson, who helmed Marvel’s “Jessica Jones” and “The Defenders,” directs “Madame Web” from a screenplay she co-wrote with Claire Parker.

        I'm willing to give the movie some extra benefit of the doubt based on this.

          Fair enough. JJ was a mostly good show and defenders had other issues. Hopefully the trailer just sucks

          Clarkson is at the very least a competent director, she’s done tons of TV work.

    I'm not sold on the premise or the characters either. I'm not super familiar with Madame Web but the stuff I saw with her was in the 90s Spider-man cartoon and it went totally off the wall with alternate futures and crossovers.

      I'm also pretty sure she was a fairly older woman, and did not tout her physicality. This was an opportunity to have an older actress filing the roal of a mysterious fortune teller. Instead we have another confused twenty something. I'm not sure if it's just getting old, or if I am. Either way I'll probably stream it when it's out because the writer/director intrigues me.

        Dakota Johnson is 34. Far from "older woman", but not a "confused 20-something" anymore either.

          I'll admit that I actually Googled Sydney Sweeney, one of her costars, instead of her, so you got me.

    After watching that I can definitely say that certainly is a movie trailer. And I know it's just a very brief sample size but Sydney Sweeney seemed to phone in her lines.

      It's a movie trailer that seems to spoil everything but the very ending, I don't like that style at all. Tease us, don't show every action piece beforehand.

    That doesn't look very good, honestly. It feels like the bad half of Marvel phase 4.
