I think you really hit the nail on the head about feeling miserable sitting through a movie versus a movie being bad in an entertaining way. This is not very film bro of me to say but at the end of the day, the entertainment factor is a huge part of movies, and if I had a good time watching a film, I couldn't care less if the acting was poor or if the CGI looked horrendous or whatever. I saw Madame Web in IMAX at an empty matinee screening last year and it was genuinely one of my favourite theatre experiences of the year. Dreadful in every technical aspect but had me laughing start to finish. Absolute cinema!
Like I was telling Decarceration down below, I wish I saw this theatrically! Because I can only imagine how something like this would have played with other people in the room to share that same experience of watching a wondrously bad movie like this one.
Some movies are bad. Madame Web is MAGICALLY bad. Maybe the worst thing I've seen in the theaters. Which makes me feel kind of HONORED. I wouldn't change a thing about Madame Web.
