Actors get misled and tricked into doing shitty movies all the f***ing time. It's absolutely believable they were lied to or at least things were omitted when getting them onboard. They're not morons. Hell, how many examples of that are there in just this genre? Matthew Vaughn dropped out of directing the third X-Men movie in part because he found out they gave Halle Berry a whole fake script to get her to sign back on after she was so underutilized in the first two movies. Patti Jenkins ended up directing Wonder Woman for the Distinguished Competition because although Marvel Studios brought her in to direct Thor 2, mostly (again) to get Natalie Portman to come back for the sequel, they basically micromanaged her right out of the door. Also "everybody in the world" doesn't know that. Between Venom popping up in Far From Home and No Way Home, and Vulture popping up in Morbius, it would be very easy to convince somebody who isn't "in the know" that they'll be in the MCU proper somewhere down the line. I'm guessing what happened is Sony sold Dakota's agents a bill of goods about this movie being connected in some way to other Marvel movies using the Tom Holland movies as an example (she was cast in early 2022 so this would've been fresh off the runaway success of No Way Home). They told Dakota. She believed them. Turns out to be bullshit. And that's part of why she went to a new talent agency, because you expect these people to do their due diligence and they didn't.

When all of the reviews I've seen of this consist of mostly "At least it's not as bad as Morbius?"; yeah this movie is gonna bomb. Looks like the trailer was indeed the "best" of this movie they could show.

That's now twice that Sony's made bad films based around characters that were best known to general audiences as ancillary characters in the 90s Spider-Man animated series.
Sony... give me my crappy Alistair Smythe movie now.

I waited 20 years for the second coming of Catwoman and now it's here. I'm so hyped.

Except for Venom, because those have been fun movies and made money. Probably the only part of Sony’s Spider-Man Without Spider-Man films that isn’t total shit, and that’s largely because of Tom Hardy doing everything in his power to make the films entertaining. I mean, I think both movies are pretty shit, but Hardy at least made the first one a lot of fun. Even he couldn’t save the trainwreck of a second one, yet I’m still more than willing to give Venom 3 a chance.

There's a general theory that Sony are tricking these actors into thinking they're part of the MCU and then they sign on and nope its Spiderman extras. I mean, it's kinda their fault for not doing a one minute google search "is Sony part of the MCU". I'm not in the movie industry and I know it isn't. Everybody in the world knows it isn't. Yet these idiots are somehow thinking they're part of the MCU for appearing in Madame Webb... I don't buy Sony is telling them it's MCU. They are likely saying something along the lines of "she's a character from Marvel's Spider-Man comics" and the actors are putting two and two together and making five without even bothering to look into it. How could you not believe that when Amy Pascal lives on Kevin Feige's left ass cheek like a wart?

I went and saw it and I had fun. I'm way more forgiving of bad movies than I used to be, I dunno. *shrug*

I'm way more forgiving of bad movies than I used to be, I dunno. *shrug* Movies like this tend to attract bandwagon jumpers who find it entertaining to pile onto the "worst movie ever" line. I'm sure the movie is fine. Neither great nor terrible, which is all it was ever going to be.

Find yourself someone that loves as much as Dakota Johnson hates Madame Web.

Well, it is slightly beating Morbius in reviews so that's something? Kinda? It now has a lower RT score than Morbius so disregard.

However I've seen too many Red Letter Media videos to put it in the argument for worst ever.

What a mess of a film
Can we have them cameo in D&W just to get killed off and Deadpool say not to worry they won't harm anyone anymore?
