Movie impressions.
From what I've read from the reviews

The Spider-Women don't even suit up and get their powers. All those scenes of them in costumes and fighting are from a brief flashforward sequence.

Seriously, who keeps signing off on these?
If this really is as bad as the reviews are making out... I will, sadly, probably love it.
harryosborn.net -Me rereading every single comic that has Harry Osborn in it, and also writing some articles.
Yeah honestly, I kinda liked it.
Like, I understand why its a bomb. This sure isn't Spider-Man 2 or Black Panther. It probably doesn't even hold a candle to a mid-level MCU entry. The marketing left a lot to be desired, and there are a lot of elements of this film that inherently make it a hard-sell.
But honestly, its not a terrible film, conceptually speaking. I found the plot engaging. The acting wasn't perfect, but honestly I think that helped...it felt like the characters were just a bunch of ordinary New Yorkers pulled into a crazy situation rather than larger-than-life heroes or villains. I did enjoy the low-key (well, sometimes not low-key) vibe of this being a kind of Spider-Man prequel...it was nice to actually have one of these 'Sony Spider-Man Cinematic Universe' films actually be tied to the webhead himself for once. And I did appreciate how the film was self-aware enough about its own limitations, and that of the characters...like how is a woman who can see the future supposed to defeat an actual super-villain.
I also really enjoyed the 2003 setting...made me feel nostalgic for that time in my life (which incidentially, is when I first became a Spider-Man fan). Really, say what you will about the plot and premise, this film did transport me back into Spider-Man's world, as I first discovered it in the 2000's, more so than the MCU Spider-Man films (as great and wildly successful as they are) did.
Do I want Madame Web 2? No, of course not. But I wouldn't mind seeing these characters again...and I wouldn't mind revisiting this particular corner of the Multiverse (assuming its not the same universe as the one from Venom and Morbius) once a certain baby in this film has grown up a bit
If this movie is going to take a role in the upcoming fusion between Sonyverse and MCU, I suppose Cassandra and the other Spider-Women will colaborate with Peter in the Secret Wars. Especially considering some of the minor characters in this movie.
