Counterpoint: she’s just not a good actress and is uncharismatic, monotone, and dead-eyed in pretty much all of her roles. She’s at her best in talk show appearances when she’s just being a version of herself.

Going by ‘recent’ comments about Lord... that might wind up costing them the rights just because of delays.

My favorite complaint from a movie review about this film is that evolutionarily it makes ZERO SENSE for a spider to deliver venom that makes its victim *more powerful*.

Aye, it’s a truly awful review. I’m sure the movie sucks, but this Betancourt guy has some nerve accusing it of being badly written.

Two takes that I’m sure will leave me completely unflamed.

Look, you can complain about having to dub all of Tahar Rahim’s lines. But what were they gonna do? Not cast Tahar Rahim, just because he lacked one of the foundational requirements to appear in a movie with English dialogue? The public demanded Tahar Rahim!

Why couldnt THIS be shelved for tax rebates?

“Old school” in the sense that The Marvels is a by-the-numbers MCU movie that we’ve all seen twenty times already?

It’s way less time than that. They need to produce a movie every 5 years in order to keep the license.

Why are these SONY movies so aggressively bad? They even look terrible.

My guess is it will be on FX as early as this Sunday morning.

Can’t Sony just give Lord & Miller the Spider-Man universe and put them in charge of every non MCU Spider-Man movie?

this is a surprisingly bland review for what would, in A.V. Club days past, have been a hilariously scathing takedown. Manuel, do better next time.

Whoa, whoa, easy there. The first Venom wasn’t good either.

Adam Scott playing someone named Ben, you say?

Is it worth noting that, given the average weight of an American, “tons of people” is about 23 people.

Look, I believe your assessment of this movie is probably accurate. However, publishing a review this rife with grammatical errors undermines any critical authority it might have otherwise asserted. Doesn’t it feel like learning to proofread should maybe come before judging the creative efforts of others—especially…

I will totally drunk(or hungover) watch this one saturday morning when it’s on free TV. Sounds/looks Jason X so bad it’s funny awful.

“tons of people are currently loving the hell out of The Marvels now that it’s on Disney”

Hard to get excited for a character I only remember as that weird old lady from the later episodes of the 90's Spider-Man cartoon.
