Yeah, bad direction and bad editing can ruin a good script. People often get confused about that.

Lmfao this was laughably bad. Makes Aquabro 2 and The Midvels look like kino. Dakota is the only good thing and yet she's wasted by the writing and direction.

Oh boy, today's the day for me! Nevermind, tomorrow instead. Maybe God doesn't want me to see this.

I keep hearing a certain part about this movie, or trailer I should..... I have to look it up now. If it is true, no wonder this SUCKS.

There was a good camp movie somewhere that got lost by Sony's interference it seems.

As one going to see it today, can't wait for it to be better than the tryhard cringe-ass memes flouting around (not like that's much of a feat).

As for new projects, probably gonna focus on the TV shows and Beyond The Spider-Verse. And then pull the deal with Marvel as fast as they can around Secret Wars so that they can actually kick off a SSU of theirs. Especially if the rumors of Kraven to be retroactively MCU are true.

Just got out of the theater and honestly................. Was it obviously butchered in post with the villain 95% ADR? Yes. Was the cuts to Baby Peter glaring bad? Sure. But it was just a blast and honestly I liked the cast. The hilariously bad just went along with the legitimately fun for me. This is easily on the same level of The Marvels so whether or not you'll like this film is up to how you felt about that.

Considering the awful looking trailer and dreadful reviews, I'm surprised that I actually didn't hate this. It's still not that good, but I was expecting worse with all the "worst comic book movie ever" and "this makes Morbius look like The Godfather" talk. I don't think this is worse than Morbius, and honestly I'd put it on roughly the same level as Ant-Man Quantumania and The Flash from last year.
I was rarely bored during this movie. I feel like it's somewhat commendable just how committed this film is to being a 2000s throwback, but in an entertaining way unlike Morbius, which I think is an incredibly dull slog. While I wouldn't say the performances are great, the 4 lead actresses tried here, and I did enjoy their banter more than expected. The premonition aspect is utilized somewhat effectively with some neat visuals on display. This works more as a 2000s thriller than it does as a comic book movie, it really does nail the tone and feel of a thriller from that era, warts and all.
While I don't think this film is completely awful, the issues here are severe enough that it ultimately falls into mediocrity. Much of the dialogue is stunningly rough, Dakota Johnson tries to convincingly deliver this clunky dialogue but is fighting a losing battle a lot of the time. The villain is terrible, his motivation could've been interesting, but they botched it by having him repeat the same crappy dialogue over and over, and a bad performance with very distracting ADR. The film's flow and pacing is messy as can be with bad editing, there's a side quest of sorts in the middle that grinds the pacing to a halt. The action scenes aren't particularly well shot or edited, and the finale is a big anticlimactic nothingburger. Most of the Parker family stuff is shoehorned in and pointless to the story. The film is by and large a setup movie to sequels that surely won't happen at this rate.
Although it doesn't really work ultimately, the pieces are here for something that could've worked with more competent writing and directing. I'd be open to seeing more of this group of 4 if they had a script to work with that isn't a first draft, but with this movie's failure and Johnson's clear embarrassment to be in it, that's not happening. Oh well. 5/10

"There is little to save" "Can't touch the Avengers movies" "Might be worse than Morbius"
Well, those are good vague clickbaity things to say for clout...
