10 Movies Which Insult Your Intelligence

10. Madame Web

It only came out in February 2024, but Madame Web already has a reputation as being one of the dumbest big-name movies of all time. 

Starring Dakota Johnson as the titular Cassie Webb who has the gift of precognition, the film pits a group of seemingly normal women against a vicious killer who is out to stop them from becoming superheroes in the future. 

If only she had used her powers to see how badly this film would turn out to be. 

So much about Madame Web is a giant mess. The three characters Cassie is protecting - Julia, Anya, and Mattie - are barely individuals, amounting more to what a bunch of 50-year-old men think teenagers are. Asking the audience to care about such husks of people is an insult to begin with, but then there’s everything else.

The dialogue is so expository that even a seven-year-old would feel patronised by it, the heroes are completely inept and realistically should have been killed several times over, and the plot is so uninspiring that it can’t have taken any longer than ten minutes to think of.

It’s no wonder nobody enjoyed this.
