Madame Web (4 Stars)



After watching "Madame Web" in the cinema I read many reviews that said it's a bad film. The reviewers said that the film is illogical. I can see their point, but I disagree. Or rather, I agree that the film is illogical, but I disagree that this makes the film bad. Comics are illogical. They present many fantastic things that can only be accepted by children or naive adults. A man is exposed to gamma rays, and from then on he keeps growing into a green monster and reverting to a man at random intervals. Where does the additional body mass come from? Where does it disappear to? This contradicts the laws of physics, but who cares? I'm a naive adult who can accept whatever he reads in comics.

In the same way, I accept what happens in "Madame Web". There's a man who can climb walls and a woman who has visions. There are three teenage girls destined to acquire spider powers. It all makes sense to me. I'm too naive to question it.

I hope there will be a sequel. Or better still, three sequels. I want to see what happens to the three girls. They all deserve their own film, but alas, the box office failure of "Madame Web" makes it unlikely.

Success Rate:  - 0.7
