Dakota Johnson is making headlines once again and is out to capture the hearts of her fans as Madame Web. Although she made her acting debut at the mere age of 10 with a minor role inCrazy in Alabamaalongside her mother, Melanie Griffith, her breakthrough role did not come until 2015 when she landed the role of Anastasia Steele in theFifty Shadestrilogy.

That being said, it was high time for Dakota Johnson to make her superhero debut. While she has not secured a spot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet, she has successfully entered Sony’s Spider-verse, and it is not any less of a celebration. However, the spirit of this celebration might be dulled by the response the movie is getting.
Fans Call Out Sony for Dakota Johnson’sMadame Web
After completing high school, Dakota Johnson took acting classes before restarting her acting career. The first few years were hard for the actress as she only got small roles. The shift in her career came in 2015 with theFifty Shadestrilogy.
Johnson has since been synonymous with the role of Anastasia Steele, butMadame Webseems to be her chance to shed that image. There is no doubt that this is going to happen. However, whether it will be in a good way or bad is hard to tell considering the movie’s score on theRotten Tomatoesreview aggregator.

Madame Web is a “poorly-written, messy, and sloppy movie”: Reviews For Dakota Johnson’s Marvel Debut Are Absolutely Brutal
The first critic reviews of the movies are out things are not looking too good for the movie. Here is what YouTuber Cris Parker wrote in his review of the movie (viaThe Independent):
“#MadameWeb is an embarrassing mess. Talented stars wasted on probably the worst comic book movie I have ever seen. Filled with atrocious dialogue, awkward editing & all around laughable structure. I sat there baffled scene by scene someone approved this. The memes will redeem it.”
This is not the only negative review of the movie. Many other critics have expressed their disappointment about it. However, some have praised Dakota Johnson for her humor.
Madame Webis going to hit the cinemas on July 06, 2025.
