"Madame Web" is another example of a comic book movie no one was clamoring for.

The haphazard fashion in which the movie has been assembled argues that this should have been left on the stage where a live production can cover all manner of missteps.

Genre fans may perceive it as good enough to scratch an itch but no matter how well it incorporates the Jane Austen tropes, it’s hard to see this as more than obligatory and unnecessary.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Comedy
Director: Patrick Hughes
Cast: Kevin Hart, Woody Harrelson, Kaley Cuoco, Ellen Barkin, Jasmine Matthews

Derivative and forgettable; fitfully entertaining but ultimately lacking.

About two-thirds of a creepy, unsettling story that comes unglued in the final 30 minutes.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Horror
Director: Daniel Espinosa
Cast: Jared Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Tyrese Gibson, Al Madrigal, Michael Keaton

The kind of bland, by-the-numbers origin story that shows comic book movies at their least innovative.

Slickly made but hollow, offering little to anyone who isn’t deeply invested in the franchise; it may be a good tie-in to the video game series but it’s a bad motion picture.

One reason why "My Blue Heaven" hasn’t remained plugged into the collective cultural memory bank is, although it’s not a complete failure, it also doesn’t do anything especially well.

The screenplay takes a generic situation and does nothing interesting with it, resulting in a subpar motion picture offering little in the way of sustainable entertainment.

Makes a conscious decision to address a subject that not many family films would touch with a ten-foot pole…then bungles the implications and the message.
