Madame Web: Dakota Johnson says the released movie is not the one she agreed to film

 


Sony's recent film production, Madame Web (18%) , has been in the eye of the storm following its release, and the film's star, Dakota Johnson , has made surprising revelations about the significant changes the script has undergone since she joined the project, which makes us think that disaster was inevitable.

The film, directed by SJ Clarkson and starring Johnson as a New York paramedic with psychic powers, has been the target of harsh criticism since its release, being classified as one of the worst superhero films of the modern era. Despite Johnson's praised performance, the film has been criticized for its inconsistent script, questionable special effects, and confusing direction.
