Last night’s world premiere of Madame Web has stirred up a storm online with the first reactions pouring in. Regrettably for Sony Pictures, the initial responses are largely negative. Dive into the buzz here!

The world premiere of Madame Web unfolded yesterday evening with Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney stealing the spotlight on the red carpet. However, the initial reviews for the movie paint a grim picture.

Sony Pictures opted for a single trailer release for their latest Marvel venture, which quickly became fodder for memes rather than stirring excitement among comic book enthusiasts.

Despite high hopes for Madame Web to surpass expectations, boasting an impressive cast, superhero attire, and a director with a background in comic books, it seems those aspirations may not materialize based on these early reactions.

The feedback so far has been overwhelmingly negative, with only a lone semi-positive review amidst the sea of criticism. While this is just the first wave of opinions (more expected later today), such early responses don’t bode well for the film.

Below, you can read through the early verdicts for Madame Web. Stay tuned for the highly anticipated Tomatometer reveal!

#MadameWeb is yet another disappointing entry in the Sony Universe. Dakota Johnson is a stand-out, but unfortunately that’s not the case for the rest of the cast. Not as bad as I expected it to be, but it sadly falls short of what could have been a decent movie. 2/5 pic.twitter.com/WdnIXtalBQ

Unfortunately for me, #MadameWeb lacked the spark it needed in nearly every dept: writing, acting, action sequences. There are a few good moments with an excellent overall pacing, but gees was this hard to get through. https://t.co/NeLehZlBC2

#MadameWeb is totally fine. There’s really not a lot to say here. The leads are charming. Dakota Johnson is a witchy weirdo. The slasher/FINAL DESTINATION meets superheroes vibes are there. But there’s just not a whole lot to it. Not a disaster. Just kinda there. pic.twitter.com/HVf1jsUBnO

#MadameWeb is an embarrassing mess. Talented stars wasted on probably the worst comic book movie I have ever seen. Filled with atrocious dialogue, awkward editing, & all around laughable structure. I sat there baffled scene by scene someone approved this. The memes will redeem it pic.twitter.com/wwxBZmzf1f

#MadameWeb is a clunky, poorly-written, messy, and sloppy movie packed with some mediocre editing and performances.

Even though it had solid cinematography and an interesting concept, it couldn't be saved due to its terrible execution.

#MadameWeb exceeds expectations! Some of the dialog is cheesy AF, some heavy-handed product placement, and probably couldve been tidied up a bit more. But the cast really work magic with what they had, their chemistry is a lot of fun, and the suits look great pic.twitter.com/UZoD5irjQx

Venturing into a new realm of storytelling, Madame Web transports audiences to an alternate universe with its unique take on the superhero genre.

Dakota Johnson leads the cast as Cassandra Webb, a Manhattan paramedic grappling with possible clairvoyant abilities. As she unravels the mysteries of her past, she forms an unlikely bond with three young women, each holding the key to a powerful destiny – provided they can survive the dangers of the present.

Directed by SJ Clarkson, this suspenseful thriller promises a fresh perspective on Marvel’s enigmatic heroine. Clarkson helms from a screenplay she co-wrote with Claire Parker, with additional contributions from Morbius writers Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless.

The star-studded ensemble features Dakota Johnson alongside Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott.

Mark your calendars as Madame Web swings into theatres worldwide on February 14, delivering a captivating origin story that defies conventions.
