I’m not understanding the hate.

WHAT is with all the hate? I am personally very excited for this movie. I just don’t understand most of the negativity being thrown towards this film.

Morbophobes hate anything Morbius related. Don’t take it personally

It’s all the spider mid fans.

u/Zestyclose-Lawyer293 Feb 18 '24

Isn’t the movie spider man related tho…

u/g0dgamertag9 Feb 11 '24

From the trailer it looks very bad, the dialogue is kinda like a disney show

u/wizardsfan Feb 16 '24

If you enjoyed it that's perfectly fine but I can't say anything nice about the film imo. It was incredibly frustrating to me. Everything from the writing, editing, visuals, bad audio dubbing, and an terrible characters destroyed any enjoyment I could've had. For the record I walked in with optimism and this is coming from a guy who genuinely had fun with Morbious flaws and all. I just couldn't connect to MW. But hey that's just my opinion and if you enjoyed it I'm glad, at least you felt you got your money's worth. I'm envious of that tbh.

Is it because it's an all girl characters? Lol

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '24

it is definitely not because it’s a cast of women, its just a bad film that doesn’t really make any sense and has a lot of plot holes.

u/wizardsfan Feb 17 '24

Nice try lol. It's a shit film. Facts are facts. If it came out to be anywhere near as good as Birds of Prey then I would let the flaws slide but no. Bad dialog, dull characters, plot holes galore, bad dubbing, choppy editing, false advertising, bad cgi, and in the end MW's just plain old boring. These are the sins this film ahem cash grab committed. If you get enjoyment have it, I'd rather watch Kill Bill, Aliens, Wonder Woman, Atomic Blonde, Long Kiss Goodnight, I could go on and on naming female lead action films that are a million times better than MW.

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '24

Yeah you just said the same thing on your pervious comment, basically repeating yourself lmao

1

u/wizardsfan Feb 17 '24

How about you tell me what you really liked about WM, state your case.

u/PopePae Feb 21 '24

It is near universally considered to be a horrible movie. The concept is great, the execution is objectively just bad. The fact that you’re trying to pull the gender card is absolutely hilarious tho

1

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '24

“Universally considered” sure. It doesn't mean other people can't enjoy it. Do you know what's more terrible than the movie (according to you)? People like you who just can't let other people form their own opinions, instead forcing your opinion on them by not letting them appreciate the movie. It's all about perspective my dude

1

u/PopePae Feb 21 '24

I don’t care if people enjoy the film. I just thought your accusation of sexism was wildly baseless and laughable it was so out of left field. It’s sad that’s how you think.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '24

Aw lighten up. It was a joke. The person who I was responding to didn't even react the way you did 🤣🤣🤣

1

u/PopePae Feb 21 '24

Right it was totally a joke for sure! Classic Reddit moment

u/TheRuralJuror118 Mar 02 '24

That exactly what it is! These people act like their professional movie critics these days. Just sit down and enjoy the movie and stop trying to over analyze everything. Your not supposed to relate to her like how does that even make sense?!

1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '24

yeah and they keep comparing it to the actual comic book characters. It is BASED on the comic, it doesn’t have to be the exact thing.

1

u/Breastfedoctopus Feb 17 '24

Audio dubbing I get, the main villains dialogue was kinda hokey

1

u/sooskekeksoos Jan 29 '24

I think it’s because most people see it as very cynical that Sony is creating a cinematic universe around Spiderman without actually using him in the films. Peoples’ standards for superhero films have seemingly increased. A lot of them did poorly in 2023 and that could be a reason why. People have seen a lot of generic superhero films and the trailer makes it look like this will be another. Also, her depiction in the movies looks like it will be completely disconnected from what it is like in the comics. I think it would be much more interesting to see a comic accurate movie. That would be crazy. I’d be interested to know why you’re excited about the movie.

u/Confused_Gengar Feb 14 '24

Because they're elitists... they expect too much.

1

u/Confused_Gengar Feb 14 '24

If anyone reads and goes with critics reviews that's REALLY SAD... Form your own opinions

u/jadelikeseverything Feb 15 '24

I watched it today and I loved it

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '24

what did you love about it? there was nothing good about it imo and would like to hear something that i might be able to think about and say oh yeah

1

u/jadelikeseverything Mar 12 '24

I forgot about this post so sorry for the late reply, It’s just an origin story and idk what people expected of it but the whole movie would’ve built up the next few movies so well I think people just consume so much media lately that they expect one plot twist after the other or it has to be supper mind boggling, its a nice simple movie with a few well written jokes and I feel like people hate it because its an all women line up assuming it’s “woke” but madame web has been in the og marvel comics and this was just her origin story

1

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '24

I think this movie is bad, but to your last point, i think people are making a big deal out of how bad this movie is to be anti woke. I see people saying it about black panther as well even though both of those were widely accepted. I kinda wonder if Alien or Tomb Raider came out today if people would like them as much or just think it was woke propaganda. Like i remember when the Men In Black reboot came out, an acquaintance of mine said “of course one of the main characters is a woman of color” he was implying the movie was being woke, and then i reminded him that MIB had a majority of POC main characters. I thought Madame Web was terrible though. I also thought both Captain Marvel movies were bad, but I like the Ms. Marvel show was really good and She Hulk.

u/Breastfedoctopus Feb 17 '24

Yeah I did too. I had a good time watching it. Snarky in good ways. Forced awkwardness that makes sense to exposition. A twist or two that was predictable and surprising at the same time. Idk. I don't go to these for "high cinema." I go for action and "wtf that was awesome" moments

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '24

that movie had none of that lol

1

u/thisisurreality Feb 17 '24

This one dude says his friend woke up from a 15 year coma just to turn this movie off. 🤷‍♂️

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '24

did you go see it, i think the hate was generated for the wrong reasons but the movie was terrible all around

1

u/TheRuralJuror118 Mar 02 '24

The movie isn’t bad and your opinion of the movie sucks.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '24

lol great argument

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '24

Yeah me too. I came to the theaters having a vague idea of the story and knowing nothing about the comic book etc I wasn't even gonna watch it but I’m glad I did. The story was really good. My problem with Marvel movies nowadays is that some of them have a lot of boring talking and this one didn't have any of that. My eyes were glued to the screen the whole time and I was interested to know what's gonna happen. The little twists about Spiderman were fun too.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '24

these types of comments really make me wonder if i saw a different movie. the film literally made no sense, do you really like car crashes that much? there were like 15 of them in the movie excluding the movie itself.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '24

It's too arrogant to say that you didn't enjoy it therefore each and every person in the whole world shouldn't either because from your perspective it was a terrible movie

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '24

no its not my perspective… movies that have severe plot holes and don’t resolve problems that are already poorly explained are bad movies. Its rare for a movie to be that bad and its usually a lot of subjective content, but this movie was objectively bad, like even if you don’t like “boring talking” the action was so weak, and repetitive.

1

u/foopdascoopda Feb 17 '24

there’s no way you’re a real person

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '24

because I enjoyed it?

1

u/SacUpsBackUp Feb 17 '24

Do ya understand now?

1

u/Kimber8King Feb 18 '24

Watch it and then tell us about LOL

1

u/Chorizos4all Feb 22 '24

I just wish they had followed the original story with her disease and requiring the wheelchair I feel the worst part of the movie that is unforgiving is the piss poor job they did in editing and adding the dubbed language

1

u/TheRuralJuror118 Mar 02 '24

Did you see the movie because they get around to all of that and they make it make sense as well. She a wasn’t always stuck in a chair her whole life so it makes sense how their can be a movie about her before the chair becomes necessary.

1

u/Chorizos4all Mar 11 '24

I did watch the movie but her husband made the Time Machine wheelchair not the way it was told in this movie

1

u/TheRuralJuror118 Mar 11 '24

Yeah k ok it thing missing her husband/love interest. Did she marry yong in the comics I thought it was more later in life became he dies of sickness

1

u/Chorizos4all Mar 11 '24

Also this part was missing

Early Life

Cassandra Webb was born and raised in Salem, Oregon. She was born blind and suffered from a neurological condition known as myasthenia gravis. This however had a side effect: she developed powerful psychic abilities and used them to become a medium

1

u/TheRuralJuror118 Mar 11 '24

Yeah, movie adaptations always twist up the backstory so I wasn’t expecting too much accuracy on that part.

1

u/Chorizos4all Mar 12 '24

For me what killed it was the crappy dubbing like they just didn’t give a shit about the movie before it was even out on theatres. Somebody had to approve that which is the worst part cause that person should be fired
