Ms. Marvel Star Slams ‘Madame Web’ With Awful Rating on Letterboxd – The Direct
Like most audiences and critics, Iman Vellani did not seem to like the 2024 flop Madame Web, according to her recent Letterboxd rating of the movie.Madame Web released in February of 2024 to mass negative reviews, with its name recognition seemingly being more for the memes it spawned than the actual movie itself. Audiences criticized everything from the acting to the writing, all a result of a myriad of production issues and miscommunications.This (perhaps expected) audience reception was par for the course for the Sony Spider-Man Universe, with similar responses to both Morbius and Kraven The Hunter. The former, in fact, infamously became such a popular meme that it returned to theaters and flopped a second time.With her return to Letterboxd this week, Iman Vellani shared her ratings for more than 564 new movies, including Madame Web, which she gave 0.5/5 stars.Combined with ratings from before her 2025 return to Letterboxd, Vellani has rated more than 1000 films, and has watched even more. This includes several Marvel and DC films, but also movies from a variety of other genres and eras.Madame Web is one of her lowest-rated comic book movies listed, with the other two 0.5/5-star superhero projects being The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Justice League (2017). Just above those are the 1/5-star titles: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Man of Steel, and Thor: The Dark World.Famously a fan of comics and superheroes, though, Vellani has rated many superhero and comic-inspired movies (and shows) very highly. Her 5-star superhero and comic titles (from both before and after her recent return to Letterboxd) are:She also has several notable non-superhero titles rated 5/5 stars, including:Since returning to Letterboxd, Vellani — an MCU fan since before joining the franchise herself — has added the following ratings to Marvel and DC projects:Other recent blockbusters on her list of rated movies include Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (4.5/5 stars), Dune: Part Two (4/5 stars), and Top Gun: Maverick (4.5/5 stars).For more ratings from both before and after her recent return to Letterboxd, fans can follow Vellani @iman_vell.Our MCU newsletter ranks the Top 5 Marvel Cinematic Universe news stories every week!Gillian Blum has been a writer at The Direct since 2022, reporting primarily from New York City.
