New Marvel movie Madame Web has reached an unwanted Rotten Tomatoes milestone

The new film from Sony's Spider Man Universe landed in cinemas today

Sure, big movies like the new Madame Web might hope to go on to bag an Oscar or two or maybe a couple of Golden Globes or a BAFTA.

But often a lot of us film watchers will look to Rotten Tomatoes for the lowdown on whether the latest flick is any good or not.

Crime dramas like Kin sit with a perfect rating, and so does Netflix’s recent documentary Lover, Stalker, Killer.

But often, the audience score doesn’t always match the Tomatometer and pretty brutally, sometimes films debut at a disappointingly low average.

Now out in cinemas, Madame Web is the latest to reach a rather unwanted Rotten Tomatoes milestone. You can watch the trailer here:

Sony’s latest instalment of its Spider-Man Universe stars Dakota Johnson in the titular role, aka Cassandra Webb, a New York City paramedic.

With a newfound ability to see into the future, she teams up with three young women (played by Euphoria’s Sydney Sweeney, Celeste O'Connor and Isabella Merced) in a fight against villain Ezekiel Sims (Tahar Rahim).

Other movies in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe pantheon include Venom and Morbius.

Having only hit cinemas today (14 February) Madame Web currently sits on the Tomatometer at a very sad 17 percent at the time of writing from 85 reviews.

Ouch.

Venom sits slightly higher at 30 percent from the critics, but Madame Web did beat Morbius, which is currently on just 15 percent.

Although, both of those do have over 70 percent from audiences so there is still some hope for this latest Marvel flick.

As for the critics, some haven't been so forgiving, however.

A critic from The Guardian said: “There is something sickly compelling about how disjointed and thoroughly incompetent Madame Web is, less as so-bad-its-fun Midnight Movie and more studio film-making in the 2020s at its very worst case study.”

As one from DrumDums brutally put: “Madame Web is lifeless, with absolutely zero depth of character. It feels like a tax write-off.”

San Francisco Chronicle wrote: “For much of Madame Web, even when it turns bad, it’s a pleasure to see Johnson in this kind of movie.”

With Tribune News Service saying: “Is Madame Web a good movie? No. Is it hilariously delightful? Often.”

And Mashable said: “Madame Web is burdened by too many threads and not enough fun. Still, it could be worse. It could be Morbius.”

While a critic from Black Girl Nerds did say: “Go in with an open mind and see for yourself how you feel about the film, just don’t let the negative press sway your opinion.”

Madame Web is now in cinemas.
