In the realm of cinema, certain lines have the power to transcend the screen and become iconic. Dakota Johnson, known for her captivating performances, has delivered many memorable lines throughout her career. However, in a surprising turn of events, her infamous line fails to make an appearance in the Madame Web trailer.
Johnson's line, "I'm not a princess; I'm a queen," uttered with conviction in a previous film, became synonymous with female empowerment and resilience. Fans eagerly anticipated its inclusion in the Madame Web trailer, hoping for another powerful moment from this talented actress.
The film starts strong, at least in the sense that it starts so off-the-wall goofy that you can’t help but kind of cheer for it. A scientist (Kerry Bishé) is in the Peruvian Amazon searching for a spider whose bites heal; she happens to be very late in pregnancy. A man accompanying her is looking for the same spider in the hopes that it will give him powers. They find the spider, he shoots her, and she is grabbed by a tribe of spider-people who are all dressed in what can only be described as spiderweb-loincloths and they swing her back to a cave like so many spider-Tarzans where they try to save her by letting one of the spiders (which gave them their powers and has healing properties) bite her.
O’Connor’s Mattie, but also, with Adam Scott as Cassie’s paramedic co-worker, Ben, and that often makes up for what feels like quite a standard good-vs-evil origin story that never quite delivers.
New York City (presumably without filming in the city), and the film benefits greatly from Clarkson having Avatar’s Oscar-winning DP Mauro Fiore by her side. Even with those two collaborators, the film never looks that spectacular or unique as its own thing.
It’s the big, noisy action sequences that bog “Madame Web” down. Yes, they’re crucial to the genre, but they’re also the least interesting part. And you don't need to be clairvoyant to know that more movies in this series are in store.
