Oh, in NO GALAXY can you compare this to Ang Lee's Hulk.

This movie was REMARKABLY poorly made, and it lends credence to the idea that SJ Clarkson is blameless for "Madame Web" because some of the exact same problems crop up here. I went in with an open mind and a generous spirit, but this is a full-on disaster. Terrible performances, embarrassing effects, absolutely Martian plotting, and come on, this thing was clearly turned into an R-rated effort after most principal photography was completed. And yes, absolutely NO relation to Kraven of the comics. Sony needs to get right with God or something.

But Madame Web was not produced by Avi Arad-Matt Tolbach. I actually was going to mention the fact that the movie looked like it was PG-13 and that the blood added with visual effects may have been done when they realized it would be rated R, but I forgot my notebook at home. I also was thinking about Elektra while watching this and that, too, was made at a studio under Tom Rothman's guidance, so maybe that's the piece of the puzzle of why these movies are so bad. Incidentally, I also never reviewed Venom 3, but I actually liked it more than the previous two movies.
