Ouch, that average rating! I'm not going to lie though, I genuinely had a fun time watching 'Madame Web'... perhaps I should be keeping that fact quiet?
I don't know what to say, I found it to be suitably entertaining. I'm sure there are plot holes aplenty (I noticed a few) and it probably makes zero sense/isn't a good adaptation compared to its source material or whatever but honesty... I don't care, it gave me enough enjoyment that I wasn't questioning anything about what I was watching.
The cast are probably the key factors as to why I did enjoy this. I previously knew of Dakota Johnson but hadn't actually seen her in anything properly, I found her performance to be more than noteworthy and she spearheads the film strongly. The trio of Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced and Celeste O'Connor are positives too.
Tahar Rahim's antagonist, meanwhile, is poorly written and portrayed, though I personally thought the actor did a good job. I have no complaints with anyone who appears onscreen to be honest. Away from them, the pacing and score are also standouts.
In my recollection of viewing this, I truthfully haven't got any issues with it. If it wasn't for the slight bad murmurs that I did hear about pre-watch (though not much of it as I avoid as much as I can with movies) and the reaction on sites like this post-watch, I'd not be questioning my thoughts about this whatsoever.
As I always say, to each their own. For me, gimme a sequel (as long as the cast remain, mind). Not even sorry.
Movie isn't as bad as everyone says it is. Treat it like an origin story movie that sets the scene for a larger universe...
Yes, first hour is pretty slow and at times the dialogue is clunky but you can still find enjoyment out of the film.
Wow i didn't see that coming, usually most dramatic movies end up being predictable halfway through but they did a great job with this. Yeah i teared up, am not made of stones
He said your face tattoos make you look like someone tried to paint a worn out dildo with a Sharpie bahahaha
Genuinely funny, with some great movie references hidden within, and a script that is sharper than the usual generic animated fare. More like this please Netflix.
I still don't get it why people have not mentioned it as an absolute garbage!
Nasim Pedrad and Lamorne Morris back together for this movie; Yes, I have to watch it. Fun movie, some good laughs, solid plot and likable characters. I loved Nasim and Lamorne in New Girl and this movie proved once again that when two actors have good chemistry a movie just works. Truly enjoyable movie for a night in.
This movie was honestly better than expected. It had a strong storyline, believable characters, and some decent suspense thrown in. (Which is a reminder that you don't need gore to have a decent Halloween horror story.)
The only thing that bothered me was the fact that when she finally named the girl, she named her Olympia, rather than Cinderella/Ella
Okay action. Terrible dialogue and meh acting
Enjoyed more than i expected..Had some good plot twists 7.5/10
Darcy is so great. Kat Dennings should've had even more screentime in this.
If Tarantino and Edgar Wright had a baby... it would have been born at the El Royale.
It's an amazing movie provided you know what you're going in for. There'll always be moody critics who will find faults.
This movie is exactly what it's trailer states. A light hearted murder mystery with comedy in between.
Jennifer Aniston was lovely as always.
I especially love the ending to it
Spoiler
They end up on the orient express.
I agree with the other comments that the story is pretty flat, and I really would have liked to have seen more of the actual perfect dates, but the characters were charming, the touching moments relatable (if sometimes cheesy), and most importantly, the jokes were hilarious.
The draw for me to this show was Dwayne Johnson (son of Nova Scotia born Rocky Johnson from Amherst) and Karen Gillian. I'd alway thought I'd enjoy The Rock but was never drawn to his movie choices, and Karen Gillian has been crushing it ever since her DOCTOR WHO days. This movie was a blast! Situationally funny, challenging social mores, drawing life affirming conclusions, big adventure, great comedic timing and talent. It was a hoot and I'll probably watch it again when it is released to DVD. I give it an 8 (great) out of 10. [Young Adult, Action, Adventure, Comedy].
I don't care what people say... I liked this movie! Sure some bits where predictable but I laughed most of the movie! Just like Baywatch... Don't think to much and just enjoy the movie
What a load of crap. The acting was dreadful. Give this a wide berth if possible. Story line was rubbish too. Total thumbs down for me.
Parents of the year right here.
Good tension set pieces, if a little repetative as a formula. Totally illogical. Predicatable.
Hmmm. It is an OK movie. It is tense for sure, but in terms of what actually happens there isn't much let's be honest. As there really is no beginning and no end, it feels like a tv series episode in my opinion. There are also some questionable choices from the characters, one in particular, that do not make sense or have any logic. I'd give it a 5 out of 10, sorry.
Who would have thought a retro super-gory fun-fest would be so sweet!
I was Impressed, I love the 80s style theme, the effects were great, and the sense of humour of the script was on my level. Spot on sound tracks. WTF gore. It's got it all, full on action XD Bring on number 2 :P
Absolutely loved the retro feel and gore. Good soundtrack and a fun watch. Great B movie.
Reminded me of the goof times! And the music was just awesome! Listening to it right now. Movie not for all, but definitely will be enjoyed in right hands)
The sound track is great and whoever did costume design for this must have been having the time of their life. It's gory as hell, cheesy at times and really sweet at others and a ton of fun overall. I really had fun with this film and i recommend it to anyone who even vaguely enjoys this kind of flick.
it was not what i expected but i liked it hh. really fun movie and you don't get the story at first but then u get really hooked on with the characters and their struggles and how they help each other throughout the movie. really fun,enjoyable movie.
Fun comedy, both cynical and sentimental in the appropriate doses, just like a real wedding.
The only scary part of the movie is that creepy snapchat smile. It freaks me out every time I see it.
That ending kind of pissed me off. It felt similar to The Ring's solution.
