Remember my euphoric, hopeful post about this movie from early February?

Well, some days before I wanted to go to the cinema I read the first reviews about it…. and they were… quite… bad!
One aspect especially annoyed me to read: The extremely limited screen time of the women in their costumes.
I decided not to watch the movie in the cinema back then.
By now I have watched the movie… and yeah… it is indeed disappointing, and the marketing before it was misleading… at best.
But more on that later…
I edited all the scenes with the women in costume and mask in one video!

Yeah… that is it. A little over one minute… a real shame! 🙁
As I had seen the promo pictures with the women in costume… I really feel cheated and betrayed.
And the worst part: Both scenes with them, aren’t happening in the movie for “real”.
The first scene is a nightmare that the bad guy always has (well, I would love to have such “nightmares” ;-)) and the second mini scene is a vision from Madame Web.
So, we have a pretty boring movie with little interesting action and barely any screen time at all with the masked ladies.
And not surprisingly the movie flopped big time… what a missed opportunity …once again.
3 more scriptwriters that should be thrown into the movie dungeon for such a horrific job.
Plus the folks who greenlighted it.
Even with the bad critics, I watched the movie for 2 reasons:
Spider-ladies … and… Sydney Sweeney
But everything else… isn’t interesting or well done, so… I certainly won’t watch the movie a second time.
I could write a lot more about this movie… but well… I already spent enough time on it.
Damn, I really hope that there will be a good movie or TV show with a masked woman in the lead role… soon.
The last years offered verrrry little in that regard.

I didn’t think the movie was that bad. It’s an origin story. It is very well paced, something a lot of movies are doing a lousy job of doing now a days.
Well, it wasn’t so bad for me that I stopped watching it.
It was somehow watchable… but I had so high hopes in great action scenes with 3 masked ladies.
In that regard the movie really failed big time.
And I doubt they will make another movie with Spider-women anytime soon after that Box office disaster.
