Madame Web (2024)
Not as bad as people who want to jump on the hate train make out!
It does come across a bit dated, but it is set in the early 00s!
The female leads are likeable, especially Dakota Johnson, it's the actor who plays the villain that chews every scene he's in like he's starving!!
He's up there as one of THE worst villains (not in a good way) ever.
Switch off and try any be a kid for a moment, don't overthink as if you're that kid.
Other than the villian being extremely miscast, Emma Roberts is miscast as Peter Parker/ SpiderMan's mother to be (she comes across vapid & verging on mean girl).
The guy who plays Ben Parker was dull, considering he's playing a beloved character.
I've seen way worse movies get much better reviews.
It just seems to be "in" to hate this movie and there was a lot of hate towards it before it even started shooting!
Evil Dead Rise (2023)
Made for streaming and it shows! Watch the '13 version instead
Don't believe the hype!!
I fell for the glowing reviews by big reviewers!!
The fact this was made for streaming shows!
I'm not American yet even I could the accents were suss.
I expected to have to look away but didn't even flinch.
I felt nothing for the characters, all the main scenes were very cut and paste from previous ED movies (shot for shot in many cases!).
At least Jane Levy gave you someone to root for in the 2013 movie and the special effects were great, better than the ones in this ten years on!
I found myself willing this movie to end!
Watch the 2013 movie, I'm going to watch it again, even though I watched it last night, just to remove the memory of this poor imitation.
