Critics comparing this to Cats means I will probably watch it on streaming. I’m so curious

A lot of bad movies get made, this one just happens to be in the superhero genre. I dont think the genre is necessarily at fault, although maybe fans and creators tend to get tired of working inside one universe after a certain time (the DCAU lasted 14 years, matching up timeline wise to when people started to cool on the MCU). Sony just seems to have bad leadership when it comes to greenlighting competent scripts in this genre, outside of Spiderverse. So they can't even get a chance to have a 14 year run of generally quality entertainment.

Some directors just don't really understand how special fx or vfx work. Tom Hooper was actually competent with directing the first couple episodes of His Dark Materials which also has a lot of vfx, but it was "safe" vfx in terms of talking animals (done by premier talking animal vfx studio Framestore) and a lot of set extensions and matte paintings. Cats was a vfx undertaking that has never been tried before or since. The process is so convoluted and costly that its a wonder any studio survived it. Madame Web on the other hand... the time travel segments from the trailer look like some complicated vfx, I'm sure that was the most expensive bits of the movie. But one of the top vfx studios, Digital Domain, worked on a lot of this film so I'm a bit confused why most of the film looks so basic. Like, they do good work usually and have a lot of senior talent.

I worked on Cats so I had seen each shot probably dozens of times by the time it hit theaters, but it was amazing to watch with a crowd. When Judi Dench says 'you really are a jellicle cat" to Victoria at the end, a girl in the theater shouted "WHAT??" We partied more on the production of that movie than any job I've ever had. Constantly working overtime followed by parties for like 10 straight months. Then covid hit and I didn't see any of those people for another year and a half.

Superheroes have fallen, now sandworms will rule the cinema.

Yeah I'm sure actresses experience some bad fear of missing out when two movies released close to each other get such dramatically different reception. Can't be sure though. I haven't actually seen Johnson in any good movie but I've heard that she's good in Bad Times at the El Royale.

Kojima really liked Argylle which surprised me.

Yeah its an anime film, although its gonna be CG so I'm not sure how "anime" the style will be, they could basically do whatever kind of character design they want but it will probably look a bit anime. I'm interested in seeing how it turns out. But the last thing the director Kenji Kamiyama did that I really liked was Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, from before he developed an obsession with working on CG projects.
