I hope some heads rolled for this
one: basically; in 2003; New York we
meet paramedic Cassandra
"Cassie" Webb/Madame Web [Dakota Johnson:] as after this accident she
begins to experience these strange goings on even when she has seen this
situation play out before and learning more about herself, she can protect and
educate others.
Generally speaking: what the hell do you want me to do with this
script/storyline? On one aspect it is something safe and reliable and it plays
out as such to give these character developments being something safe and
reliable and the performances reflect that. But however on the other side of
things; the character developments are shockingly appalling [just for the
record yes I would use strong language to put across what I really mean but I
can't.] So how do these characters get their powers/abilities and on top of
that how does Webb/Madame Web learn to control her powers better? Because we
don't see absolutely none of this; no literally we don't see any of this,
without giving too much away Webb/Madame Web goes somewhere to find herself and
then meet somebody and then comes back to the US; it's like they have missed
out a massive chunk of the film, but then again I did wonder how they were
going to fit everything into this film [I am far from an expert on these
characters, so I am in from the perspective of this film better get a move on.]
Because where we are and what I am referencing would be roughly 40 minutes of
the film left, so yes on one hand the framework and pacing of this; one hand
116 minutes film allows for this dysfunctional stray teenagers/adult discovery
aspect to play out, but on the other hand and consequently as I have already
indicated it doesn't have much time to show us anything of continuous
substance.
The
only character developments, art and action; that I can speak of which is worth
noting and highlighting is when Webb/Madame Web is in this much bigger world
and she discovers more about herself; this is excellent and for the action we
have bits and pieces on the walls and ceiling these are highly noticeable
positives and Webb/Madame Web showing us a little bit of her power towards the
later stages of this film to save these characters individually.
This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; I do
question why we have some of these characters dancing on this table, when they
haven't even had any alcohol and dancing for themselves/these boys, it just
seems really tacky and yes I am open-minded, laid-back and easy-going. But whatever
happened to getting to know these boys normally, no you have to dance on this
table and come across as adult entertainers. But as I said to this person I
watch some of this content with; this film is a linchpin/steppingstone to
something else and on a quick side note the person I watched this film is said
and I am paraphrasing here; it was okay but I digress; to cover my back I
should point out this is how it looks/feels that doesn't mean that it is going
anywhere, in actual fact I am not putting this on the performers, I am putting
it on everyone else; but I hope this film doesn't go anywhere, because even
though I have given it; what I have given it [speculation/opinion] I am hoping
that it was just put out to try and recoup some of its budget back. But if it
does get connected or highly doubtful it will get another project, but if it
gets connected to another project, they would have to build up these characters
so much just to go up to the standard of the character they are opposite, so
yes what I am suggesting is they would have to do this in a project that isn't
their own, which would possibly if they this route, they would run the risk of
taking valuable time away from whomever's project it actually is. I mean now I
have seen this film, I don't get its actual purpose, I mean there are no extra
scenes to suggest anything will be connected to this project whatsoever. But having said that I am just taking two seconds to think about it and this is once again completely speculation on my part; but I just have this feeling that we may or may not see Webb/Madame Web in Venom 3 as of this content being first created hitting cinemas 08/11/2024, so if she does show up this is where I can see her appearing
