So #MadameWeb. I actually liked it. The actors give good performances. I would love to see Dakota Johnson in more stuff, she's great.
Now yes, this #movie is begging for a franchise. It brings the #film down. But I would love for a version with less of that stuff. Stunts were great. I loved how the seeing-the-future was used here. There was good-to-decent (always enjoyable) char work. Props.
