Sony's latest superhero movie, 'Madame Web', has faced a significant backlash from critics and audiences alike, resulting in poor box office performance and a dismal critical reception. Critics have described the film as lacking a clear direction, comparing it unfavorably to an SNL skit without a punchline and dubbing it the worst superhero movie since 'Morbius'. The film received a rating of 1/5 stars from one review and was declared 'Rotten' on Rotten Tomatoes with a 13% score. Furthermore, the negative reviews have had a tangible impact on its commercial success, with reports of advance purchase sales declining in real time as viewers refunded their tickets on opening night. This has led to speculation about the potential end of Sony's ambitions for a new franchise based on the character.

Chris Vannini Movie Review™️ Madame Web: Felt like an SNL skit without a punchline. A very long two hours. No idea what style of movie it wanted to be. Can't believe this was conceived, made, released. Comic book movies might really be over. 1/5 stars https://t.co/D7l6ve2fqS
I just watched this. It’s as bad as Madame Web to me. Astonishing https://t.co/5KBLYd9GFS
