After a heavily-pregnant scientist's expedition to The Amazon to find a supercharged spider ends in tragedy, thirty years later her daughter is a New York paramedic, whose uncanny ability to see the future kicks in after a work accident and she starts to experience flashes of immediate future events, leading to finding herself looking after a trio of very bland and underwritten girls who figure in the future of a very one-dimensional villain. The film suffers from an underwhelming script, delivered by the seldom-convincing Dakota Johnson and an underplaying Adam Scott. With the exception of a mid-point underground train sequence that is executed quite effectively, the whole film comes across as silly, uninteresting and somewhat dull, as entire scenes crawl by like the equivalent of cinematic tumbleweed. Just as critical and box-office reception suggests, Madame Web is very much the D-List of superpower movies.
