The Idea of You (2024)
Only one thing
I've previously read the book, so I anticipated that the movie might not fully live up to my expectations, and unfortunately, I was correct. However, I appreciated how the overall plot was adapted for a faster pace, and both Anne Hathaway and Nicolas Galitzine delivered strong performances. My only gripe is that Ella Rubin seemed too old to convincingly portray Anne Hathaway's teenage daughter; in certain scenes, they resembled siblings rather than mother and daughter, which detracted from the immersion. Nevertheless, the movie excels, particularly in its departure from the book's ending, providing readers with a satisfying closure.
Madame Web (2024)
Bad acting
While the plot was lacking, Dakota Johnson's performance was particularly grating, her consistent expression throughout every scene accentuating her limited acting range. This, coupled with the contrived storyline, only served to highlight her shortcomings as an actress. The lackluster performances of the three sidekicks further weakened the overall casting.
Regarding the proliferation of Spider-Man movies, it's puzzling why they continue to produce mirrored versions. With numerous iterations and parallel universe storylines already in existence, it begs the question of originality. There's a plethora of fascinating characters awaiting development within the superhero genre that could offer refreshing narratives.
