Supposedly she's very good in Euphoria, but I haven't watched it. As a rule of thumb it's a good idea to not judge actors by their performance in a trainwreck, particularly one with a rookie director.

 

She was solid in The White Lotus as well. I personally didn't think she was particularly good at comedy in Anyone But You and I've seen a good number of reviews express that sentiment, but clearly there are plenty of people who didn't think so or didn't care.

 

Don't think Madame Web will enjoy the same surprise success that Anyone But You did, though.

[Spidey Freak]

She's great in Euphoria, The White Lotus and the Reality Winner movie about the USAF whistle-blower vet. So kinda surprised to hear that she's not very good in ABY and Madame Web. Maybe she approached these two characters as broad caricatures.

Like i said a few months ago, they should have just made an actual documentary about Spiders in the Amazon rain forest, that would be received much better.

Some people just can't do certain types of content. We've seen great actors fall flat doing guest rolls on studio sitcoms (Brad Pitt on Friends), we've seen great actors fail when it comes to voice over roles (Peter Dinklage in Destiny). It happens.

Now that I think about it, it's a matter of time before we'll have a new Archnophobia movie coming (Archnophobias?). Probably with Scarlett Johansson returning.

I think you mean Arac Attack SarJo isnt in Arachnophobia

[Mojoguy]

Shocking that we are likely getting a worse movie than Morbius. Sony strikes again. Superhero genre might be on life support at this point.

Ah right she was in Eight Legged Freaks. Why were there so many spider movies at the turn of the century, Jon Peters influence?

[Krissykins]

I don’t think we need to claim that Sydney Sweeney “can’t act” because of this film. She was nominated for two acting Emmy’s in the same year. She is incredible in Euphoria. It’s not fair to judge someone’s whole ability on one film. 

[Valonqar]

Sweeney will be fine. This is a bad movie, not really her fault (she doesn't headline it so there's that). She has Euphoria and ABY. Trank's F4 didn't hurt careers either.

[babz06]

They say in Hollywood you are only as good as your last project. So Johnson and Sweeney need to move on quickly to the next one and forget this ever happened. Johnson was probably right to change her agency.

The film that made everyone make sure a spider wasn't hiding in their toilet bowl before relieving themselves.

Except Trank's. 😉

Don't take it from me. Regarding ABY, I've read some people feel the same as I do and others who feel differently so you can make your own judgment there. With Madame Web, there clearly doesn't seem to be much to her in this movie due to the writing of her character and the other characters.

[wildphantom]

I respect Johnson taking a paycheck and then phoning in the press tour. She knew the movie was awful, and isn’t the kind of actress that can hide it. 
 

Very interesting character.  Her interview with Peri on collider is as frosty as anything I’ve seen lately. Couldn’t meet any of the questions about the film with any kind of enthusiasm.

I had no issues with Sweeney in ABY. Their chemistry worked for me.

And that’s totally fine.

[Krissykins]

Aww sadly this wasn’t on the Showgirls/Catwoman level I was hoping for. I wouldn’t describe it as camp unfortunately. 
 

I was mildly entertained throughout though and it does have some funny/cheesy moments. I was glad to see less than the usual CGI/green screen stuff. It doesn’t really know what it wants to be. More entertaining than at least 3 of the superhero films I went to see last year, but I won’t start any wars lol. 
 

3/5
